Appearance
Manami is a little boy still in his infancy, marked most obviously by a head of reddish-orange hair.
Personality

History
The trouble begins when his mother collects him from daycare and a Cardian named Amaderasu strikes, siphoning the energy of everyone present; she manages to shield Manami so he escapes unharmed. With her recovering in the hospital and his father away, no one is left to mind the baby, so Mamoru brings him back to his own home. Usagi pitches in, though Mamoru proves quicker at reading what the child needs. Over those days the pair even watch him take his first steps. When his mother returns two days later to reclaim him, Manami speaks the names of Usagi and Mamoru aloud as they part.
