Sahashi, Minato

佐橋皆人

A 19-year-old student who has just discovered that he failed his college entrance exam for the second time. He currently lives in Tokyo without close friends and is feeling depressed, until he encounters Musubi. Musubi changes his life when she decides that he is her ashikabi (partner) and becomes a winged sekirei. Furthermore, he learns that Musubi is a sekirei who must battle other sekireis within Tokyo. Now Minato must keep this a secret while he tries to manage a new life with Musubi.
History
Not much is known about Minato's past, except that Matsu states that he is originally a native of Wakayama and was raised by a typical family. He achieved top scores from elementary through high school.
We also learn from Yukari that Minato would always help her in the past when she got lost in dark places like a forest, even though he feared those places himself as a child. He would often carry her out.
Personality
Minato is highly intelligent, capable of devising ways to make better use of Sekirei abilities, and able to execute strategies to defeat opponents in Sekirei battles. Despite his capabilities, Minato is an insecure individual at the beginning, possessing a passive personality and often lacking the confidence to oppose his own Sekirei when they decide on something.
