Gang affiliation: Tokyo Manji Gang
Manjirou Sano—better known as Mikey—is the founding leader of Tokyo Manji Gang. He's the kind of guy who comes across as laid-back and jokey around people he actually cares about, pulling pranks and keeping things light. But he's fiercely protective of his crew's honor and takes that responsibility seriously.
What's notable about Mikey is how much he compartmentalizes. Around his friends, he's carefree; the moment he steps into his role as Toman's leader, his whole presence shifts. He becomes commanding and intense—the kind of person whose authority is felt immediately. His gang members respect him deeply, though there's definitely an undercurrent of fear there too, given how skilled and dominant he is in a fight.
He doesn't really let his guard down publicly. Part of that comes from his own philosophy: he sees himself as Toman's foundation, its pillar. If he shows weakness, he believes the whole structure falls apart. That mentality carries over into how he treats his gang as individuals—he's willing to mobilize everyone for revenge if one of their own is wronged, which says something about how personally he takes the gang's wellbeing.
