Manami was a character exclusive to the anime. He was an infant who, together with other babies at a nursery school, was targeted for energy by the Cardian Amaderasu. After his mother's energy was drained, leaving her hospitalized, he was taken in by Mamoru. Usagi tried to help care for him, and although she was not very skilled at it, Manami enjoyed her company (unlike Natsumi Ginga, on whom he urinated twice in distress). He took his first steps in Mamoru's house, and his first words were "Mamoru-san, Usagi-chan, bye bye!". Because of his feminine name (written with characters meaning "love" and "beauty"), he was initially mistaken for a girl.
