Hanagata, Mitsurugi

花形美剣

Initially a wealthy, spoiled, pretty-boy enemy of Otaru's, he is later revealed to harbor gay feelings for him. He despises Otaru's marionettes, viewing them as rivals, and is frequently subjected to physical abuse by them (especially Bloodberry) for comic relief. Hanagata often attempts to seduce Otaru using his underdeveloped, rib-exposing chest. Eventually, the five of them settle into a somewhat peaceful coexistence and friendship. He has a younger brother named Yumeji.
