Michael Hanamura

Michael Hanamura is the main male protagonist of High School DxD: The Tale of the Gutsy Sekiryuutei. He is a Second-Year at Kuoh Academy and the current possessor of Boosted Gear.

Appearance
Michael is about seventeen years old with dark skin, brown eyes and black spikey trident-shaped hair. His normal attire consists of the Kuoh Academy student uniform with the blazer unbuttoned to reveal a red t-shirt with black pants and red and white sneakers. In the summer, his attire is relatively consistent excluding his student blazer.

After training with Son Kai for the Rating Game against Riser, Michael's body has become more toned and greater muscle definition.

His most recognizable feature is the pair of goggles he always wears atop his head.

Personality
Michael is a young and restless individual who loves to do things to the extreme, including (sometimes deliberately) stupid stunts and high-risk plans during combat. He's very loud-mouthed and loves to gloat about himself in the third person by calling himself the "Great Hanamura" and takes pleasure in pranking others, especially his best friend, Saji, as a pass-time as a substitute for social interactions when others are too busy.

Because he was never raised by parents, Michael tries to act annoying others out of a deep-seeded hunger for attention. However, in spite of this, Michael can be a kind and thoughtful young man. His actions may seem a bit over the top from time to time, but it is a sign of his care and affection for others when he opposes someone stronger than himself for their sake.

Possessing a notable lack of intelligence, Michael is considered by most to be an "idiot", but his simple way of thinking allows him to see a person for who they are and what they do rather than lumping people together based on social class or species, helping others to break away from their negative feelings and strive for more positive tomorrows.
