Appearance

The letters of his name are tattooed in red and blue around his eyes, and his short, tufty hair is a pale purple. A purple cape drapes over his clothing. Seven years before the story those tattoos were smaller and sat on his forehead while his hair was spikier. The anime recolors his hair orange with dark green markings and, unlike his lean manga build, draws him heavyset.
