Akehoshi Sakara A man in his 20s. His exact height is unknown, but he's over 180cm. He has a build with fat over muscle. He has a star-shaped birthmark in the center of his face. He's not particularly self-conscious about it. His eyebrows are thin and his eyes are sharp. He has black hair and greyish sanpaku eyes. He has lip piercings on both sides of his thick lips, connected to his earlobe piercings by chains. He gives an unapproachable impression when expressionless, but he offsets this with his charm, using movie-like phrasing, a casual tone, and physical affection. His way of laughing lacks refinement. He's naturally athletic and loves moving around—jumping, hopping, running. However, he usually walks sluggishly, dragging his heels with a canned beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other, so there aren't many chances for him to show off his physical abilities. He holds "Akehoshi's ☆ Info Exchange" in the park, selling fake info for at least 10 yen. Sometimes he kills time by telling kids he'll give them snacks if they beat him in a race, only to absolutely smoke them by running for real. His hobbies are drinking, smoking, and horse racing. A hedonistic piece of trash. He doesn't consider low-malt quasi-beer to be real alcohol, so even if he's broke, he stubbornly buys real beer. Sometimes he lies on a park bench getting drunk efficiently on mini-packs of cheap sake. His cigarette brand is Hi-Lite. He's often seen screaming at the racetrack and is best buddies with the toothless old regulars; they're all his "partners." When he can't pay the rent for his crappy apartment, he gets kicked out by the landlord and sleeps outside, so he has many homeless acquaintances. It's unclear where he works or if he has a specific job, but he sometimes scrapes by with day labor gigs. If you ask about his past, family, or what he does daily, he tells a different, lazy lie every time. "I actually reproduce asexually." "I work inside manholes. I run into Mario and guys like that sometimes."
