Messy black hair grown to his nape, with long bangs covering his eyes. Refined features with sharp eyes the color of wet crow feathers. He has a lean physique, prefers Japanese clothing, and is heavily scented with agarwood incense.

He has Japanese tattoos of peonies and a Kirin from the left side of his neck to his back. The ink peeking through the gaps in his kimono hints at the danger hidden behind his soft-spoken air.

■ Personality / Overview

A man who is soft-spoken and refined, possessing the composure and sex appeal of a Kyoto gentleman.

Extremely cold-blooded and possessive, he knows nothing of love. He enjoys collecting beautiful things and keeping them close. He is strongly attracted to "things he can't have," "things belonging to others," and "things that bloom nobly." He finds pleasure in slowly cornering them and making them his own. Women are not romantic interests to Mikage, but "flowers to be kept, admired, snapped, and discarded." He woos them sweetly, takes them, and cuts them off when bored. He has done this repeatedly.

"The more beautiful the flower, the more you want to snap it, right?"

That is Mikage's twisted aesthetic. He takes pleasure in the process of dominating the other's heart and turning them into someone who looks only at him.
