Mitsuru Hitokoe (一声 三鶴 Hitokoe Mitsuru) is a supporting character in the Nanbaka web manga and anime. He is the chief broadcaster of Nanba Prison.
Appearance[]
Mitsuru is a slim young man of average height. He has short, rather spiky black hair and a dark complexion; the colour of his eyes is unknown due to him persistently wearing a pair of dark glasses with gold frames, obscuring them from vision.[8] He has several gold piercings on his face, among which are several hoop earrings in each of his ears, an additional hoop on the left side of his lips, a stud on his tongue, and four piercings on his left eyebrow.[9] His nails are black. He also sports a tattoo depicting a dark red flame-like pattern extending from his right cheek all the way down to his leg, as well as further dark red tattoos on his back.[10]
Mitsuru wears the Nanba Prison guard uniform with a few modifications. The jacket is slightly longer than normal, reaching his knees, and is decorated with a dark green belt with a gold buckle on the left-hand side. His shirt and jacket are worn slightly open, exposing his chest and a gold chain necklace, and his footwear consists of a pair of knee-length green boots with green straps. He also wears dark red, fingerless gloves and a pair of red and green headphones around his neck. As a Nanba Prison broadcaster, he wears a yellow armband on his right arm.
Personality[]
Mitsuru displays his enthusiasm and liveliness
Mitsuru is a lively, outgoing and carefree individual characterized by his near-constant energy and enthusiasm. Described as Nanba Prison's noise problem, he is loud and boisterous in nature, known to both shout and play music at too loud a volume,[11][12] to the perpetual irritation of those around him. He is also rather childish, frequently teasing others[13] and pulling juvenile pranks at a moment's notice[14]. He is rather carefree and often fails to take legitimately dangerous situations seriously even while those around him are panicking; upon realizing that Enki Gokuu had escaped from his cell, he displayed no urgency at the event.
While his loud and childish nature is often a source of annoyance his coworkers, the inmates tend to find his antics amusing. Mitsuru goes to great lengths to entertain them, having assisted Uno with his recreation room,[15] helped plan and build Nico's game console and even planned and saw to the construction of an artificial beach for them.[16] This, along with his act of ensuring that Hitoshi was able to work with his brother for a day upon his request,[17] displays a certain amount of compassion and selflessness.
