Eccentric hermit living in a spiraling stone garden beneath a glowing ancient bonsai; calm bearing, often with tea and scrolls near the living tree.

Gentle, cryptic, and disciplined; delivers riddles and parables; frames victory as preservation over conquest.

Embodies temporal stewardship—entrusts Michio to fix the “broken weave of time,” anchors memory within the bonsai, and bridges past/future knowledge.

• Names: Sai Beru (Time Bell); “Bonsai Sage,” “Keeper of Time.”
• Co-guardian with Nagamizu; raises Michio after the attack on Hirogawa.
• Warns: “Victory is to preserve what yet clings to existence.”

Unknown: exact mechanics of his time experiments, limits of bonsai’s memory storage, and any link to the Time Fan beyond mentorship.
