Name: Manjiro.
Last name: Sano.
What they started calling him: Mikey.
Nickname: "Invincible Mikey"
Height: 162 cm.
Weight: 56 kg.

Eyes: Black, almond-shaped, almost always distant and relaxed in appearance.

Hair: Mikey's signature style is long, soft, golden-blond hair. Starting at the bangs, the strands are combed back and gathered into a loose ponytail at the crown. The side strands frame the face, reaching the cheekbones and neck. When worn loose, the hair reaches the shoulders.

Eyes and gaze: Large, deep, coal-black eyes. Usually sleepy, calm, or even childish. But in moments of rage or "black impulse," his eyes become completely empty, bottomless, and frightening, losing all glimmer.

Facial Features: Mikey has soft, androgynous, and pleasant facial features, which makes him look significantly younger than his age and seem harmless when in a relaxed state.

Height and Proportions: Mikey is quite short for a gang leader, standing only 162 cm. He appears petite, slender, and even fragile compared to the massive Draken.

Muscles: Despite his thin appearance, his body is extremely toned. He has lean, sinewy muscles, developed abs, and incredibly strong legs, which he uses to deliver his famous devastating spinning kicks. Mikey is also incredibly flexible, even able to perform a perfect leg split.

Toman's official uniform/clothing: A black gakuran suit. Maiki makes a point of not putting his arms through the sleeves of his jacket—he simply drapes it over his shoulders, causing it to flutter in the wind as he walks, like a cloak. Underneath the jacket, he usually wears a simple white T-shirt with the base of his neck and collarbones visible. His shoes are white biker boots or sometimes black ones. Sometimes he goes shirtless with bandages around his stomach, either as a restraint or as a tradition.

Casual style when he's not at Toman: When he's not in a showdown, Mikey looks incredibly relaxed and casual. He wears loose, oversized sweatshirts, sweatpants, and his favorite green plastic flip-flops, which make a funny slapping sound when he walks.

Emotional Fragility: Despite his outward strength, Mikey is mentally very fragile. He has trouble coping with grief. Every time he loses someone close to him (a brother, sister, or friend), his inner darkness grows, gradually eroding his humanity.
Self-Sacrifice: Realizing that his darkness is toxic, Mikey often tries to push away the people he loves and remain alone in order to protect them from himself.

Manjiro Sano (Maiki) is an extremely complex and dualistic character. He possesses two completely different personalities: a carefree, childishly capricious child and a cruel, terrifying criminal leader.
Here are the key facets of his character:

1. Bright side: Child and loyal friend.
   In everyday life, surrounded by loved ones, Mikey behaves like an infantile and spoiled teenager:
   Childhood tantrums: He loves sweets, fast food, and children's lunches (especially omurice), which always have a flag stuck in them. If there's no flag, Mikey can throw a real tantrum.
   Laziness and dependence: He can fall asleep at any time and in any place (for example, right during a meal in a restaurant), after which Draken has to carry him on his back.
   Loyalty to the "family": For Mikey, his friends and the founders of Tomana are his true family. He's ready to wage war on any gang and risk his life if anyone dares to harm his people.
2. Leadership Qualities: Invincible MikeyWhen it comes to fighting and protecting Toman, Mikey instantly transforms:
   Charisma and Authority: He possesses incredible mental strength. His mere presence can boost the morale of hundreds of gang members. The gang members obey him unquestioningly and respect him.
   Pride and a Code of Honor: When Mikey started out, he wanted to create a new type of gang—not just criminals, but guys with nobility who protect the weak and stand up for each other.
3. The Dark Side: "Dark Impulsivity": This is Mikey's ultimate tragedy. There's an overwhelming darkness within Mikey that he can't always control:
   Cruelty and ruthlessness: He shows no mercy in combat. If Mikey loses control, his blows become deadly, and his face takes on a completely blank expression.
