Personality[]
Mikado is a handsome, charismatic, yet lecherous sixteen year old boy and a master of Martial Arts Figure Skating. Mikado is without a doubt the brains of the pair. He is a cool, calm, collected and intellectual, he lacks the ditzy, bubbly nature of his partner and can focus on the fight. If he has one weakness, it is the fact he is a playboy unparalleled. He admits to Ranma Saotome that he lives to charm women and seduce them into allowing him to give them a kiss, moving on to new targets once he succeeded. Despite this, or perhaps even because of it, he has a large, female fan club, in part due to his attractive appearance. By the time he appears in the series, he has kissed 998 girls, and claims his 999th kiss from the female form of Ranma Saotome, unaware of her true identity and taking it without her/his permission.
Presumably, it was Mikado who developed the Couple Cleaver technique, as it matches his combination of thoughtfulness and perversity. The technique is aimed to seduce a couple into betraying each other, with Mikado gladly picking up the female once it is done and trying to woo her into allowing him to kiss her.
Abilities[]
Mikado is a master Martial Arts Figure Skating fighter. Due to his style of combat and skill level, Mikado is a deadly combatant with graceful flair, being able to fight with elegance and deadly precision. His level of skill being such that he can defeat over a hundred aversaries with Asuza scoring an all high record of under 9 seconds. Despite what his looks might suggest, Mikado is physically very strong, being able to lift up to three people by himself to perform his Good-bye Whirl technique, and could use this technique repeatedly without showing any lasting exhaustion.
Mikado has demonstrate great stamina and abnormal tolerance to dizzyness. When employing the Good-bye Whirl, he could spin almost unstoppably for an extended period of time and could have likely kept performing the technique for longer were not for the fact Asuza got dizzy and terminated it beforehand.
Although a calculating and cruel schemer in combat, Mikado has three significant shortcomings. First and foremost, Mikado is primarily focused on targeting the female opponents in order to kiss them spending a significant amount of effort and strategy on this purpose, and will otherwise only target male adversaries when they are on the way. Secondly, Mikado fails to account for Asuza's erratic, selfish and childish behaviour which costed them their match. Thirdly, he's vain, arrogant and vastly underestimates his opposition, which is evidenced when Ranma rendered him unconscious during their first fight without him ever noticing.
Techniques:[]
- Dance of Death: Mikado spins elegantly entrapping his target in a whirlwind around himself where he strikes at his adversary while dancing. Mikado can unleash hundreds of attacks that are indiscernible to an untrained eye, as he merely seems to be dancing to a common unlooker while his opponent is helplessly at his mercy. No one has successfully escaped from this attack, but a skilled martial artist like Ranma is capable of fighting back, which ended up with Mikado completely unconscious.
- Good-bye Whirl: A team technique performed with Asuza. Mikado grabs Asuza's legs while she grabs the legs of her male opponent who subsequently grabs hands with their female partner. Lifting all of them together and then subsequently spinning violently. The purpose of this technique is to coerce his male adversary into letting go of his female partner. Upon being catapulted away from the momentum, Mikado will end the technique and pursue the female in order to kiss her. This technique is infamous for causing teams to break as a result of many yielding to Mikado's demands. In the rare case in which the male adversary does not acquiesce, the technique can still be considerably dangerous; When Ranma did not release Akane until the end, Asuza got so dizzy she let them go, sending Ranma flying so violently he incurred in severe damage upon crashing.
Relationships[]
Azusa is his figure skating partner and they are commonly seen together. Despite this the two do not appear to be true friends. Mikado often yells at Azusa and she enjoys tormenting him. Eventually their combined selfish natures leads to their defeat. It is unknown if she is one the 999 girls Sanzenin has kissed.
Mikado employs the help of a team of men called to practice his "Assault of a Hundred Foes" on. Though they would not appear to like him, eagerly taking part in joining Azusa in drawing on Mikado, and writing phrases such as Give me Back My girlfriend.
Despite this tendency to earn the ire of others, Mikado has his own fan club called "We live for Sanzenin."
