Sakamoto, Julietta

坂本ジュリエッタ

A scruffy yet handsome ghostwriter becomes romantically obsessed with Maki, who remains completely uninterested in him and finds his behavior deeply unsettling. Although he is a smooth talker, he frequently makes overly aggressive declarations of love toward Maki, whom he calls "My Jenny," sometimes bordering on assault. He tends to kiss her and profess his love whenever they are together, even during their arguments, which throws her off balance. This behavior is typically played for comedic effect. Three women are head over heels for him: Uzumi Mika (a famous singer), Nono Rakuko (a famous model), and Nanjou Remon (a famous novelist). He ignores them all because he is determined to marry Maki and have her move in with him. Maki is physically capable of beating him down while he is in his insane-like, "distracted" state of mind (Julietta rarely gets serious with anyone—he has "Maki" on his mind, if you know what I mean); however, she initially struggled against him. If Julietta, who defeated the third-ranked Yoshitoku Konishi without getting serious, were to get serious with Maki, who lost to the fourth-ranked Fukamichi fighter... it is in no way clear who the "winner" would be. He can endure a massive beating and still continue fighting. In a fight against another opponent, he once had both legs and one arm broken but was still able to fight. Sakamoto usually fights using only extremely fast and devastating kicks. He typically keeps his hands in his pockets while fighting, despite having a powerful punch. His strength is said to be legendary on the street. He becomes rank seven in the Fukamichi Rankings after defeating Nobuhiko Fukamichi with a single kick, though Julietta's rank does not reflect his true fighting ability, as he defeats Yoshitoku Konishi, the third-place holder, without getting serious.
