Visual traits

Flashback look: muscular, cocky smile, black hair in a large round samurai bun; carries signature fan (Mugen no Tessen).

Personality

Confident and daring-balances shadow operations with charismatic leadership; disappearance leaves a legacy Michio seeks to honor and understand.

Role & Narrative Behavior

His absence drives the search; his fan ties to time anomalies; symbolizes unfinished resistance and a family legacy across timelines.

Temporal displacement (Earth 1992)

  • Anchor: Displaced to Earth, 1992—a non-catastrophic loss-of-agency era aligned with Technogarch failure modes.
  • Why it fits: Investigator/watcher, skeptical of authority; arrives in “quiet inevitability” where systems outpace human choice.
  • Artifact: Jeans from Earth ’92—mass-produced, durable, anonymous; reinforce his anti-mythic, hard-to-anchor presence.

Things to keep in mind

  • Married to Hitomi; father of Michio; student of Nagamizu.
  • Mugen no Tessen is key-time-inversion artifact; handle with narrative weight.
  • Search for him is a primary driver; avoid resolving lightly.

Open questions / conflicts

Unknown: current whereabouts, how he vanished after finding Mugen no Tessen, and whether he is ensnared in time fractures.

Missing / conflicting information:
  • Add backstory, role, relationships, and arc involvement from sources.
  • Media not provided; add references or uploads when available.

Media placeholder: pending upload.
