Sasaki, Hisashi

佐々木尚

The Editor-in-Chief of Weekly Jump.
He often acts indifferent or even cold, but this demeanor is intended to help Jump's authors and editors regain their spirits. He possesses a keen eye for manga and believes that a manga's primary quality must be its interest factor. He is willing to take risks to improve the magazine, provided he does not endanger the authors' lives.
He knew Saikou's uncle, Kawaguchi Taro, from the time when he served as Assistant Editor-in-Chief and Kawaguchi Taro was forced to resign.
