Appearance

Short, shaggy black hair, dark eyes, a slender build, and a heart-shaped face — very reminiscent of his younger brother, Manjiro ("Mikey").

He's often seen wearing casual clothes despite owning a workshop: a pearly white shirt, light-colored jeans, and slip-ons. Sometimes he wears a jacket tied around his waist and a silver cord around his neck.

As a teenager, he sported a well-groomed quiff and wore the traditional Black Dragon uniform.

He had the ability to travel through time, which he used to save his younger brother, and which was later passed on to Takemichi.
