Blight, Toshio

トシオ・ブライト

Toshio Blight is English-born Japanese. He was once considered a new hope for manga artists in Japan, until his strong personality caused trouble and he was ejected from the industry. Burdened by debt, he underwent the Bugs Procedure. He dislikes mochi.
Toshio is first seen on the spaceship Bugs #2, where he instructs Redon to observe the typical Japanese childhood friendship between Nanao and Shokichi. He continues with Shokichi's jokes about Nanao, telling her she must uphold the yakuza code because she is Japanese.
