Saitou
CharacterSaitou is a bit player from Codename: Sailor V, a young gang leader whose brief tangle with Minako Aino ends in a case of mistaken identity and an unguarded confession of love.
Appearance
Codename: Sailor V offers no detailed physical description of Saitou, presenting him mainly through his standing as a young gang leader rather than any fixed set of features.
Personality
Saitou carries the hard edge expected of a gang boss, yet the story hints at something softer beneath it. He steps in to rescue Minako when other toughs corner her, and he nurses a genuine, almost boyish infatuation with his former home economics teacher.
History
Once enrolled at Shiba Koen Junior High School, Saitou studied home economics under Okamoto-sensei, who now teaches Minako. By his high school years he has risen to lead a gang, and Minako grows smitten with him after he shields her from other delinquents more than once. Word reaches her that a single further brawl will cost him his diploma. When rival gangs square off, she disguises herself as Okamoto-sensei, the woman he adores, and talks him out of the fight. Convinced he is facing the real teacher, he kisses her and pours out his feelings.
