Description
Magotake Hitoyoshi is a supporting character who serves as the technical consultant and scientific advisor for the Superhuman Bureau. A professor by profession, his expertise lies primarily in physics and robotics, though he has also studied enough anthropology to work effectively with organic superhumans. He is described as a scientist of paleontology, indicating a background in the study of ancient life forms. In terms of appearance, he is an adult male with brown hair cut to neck-length and black eyes, and he is often seen wearing glasses and a lab coat.
Magotake is the adoptive father of the series' protagonist, Jirou Hitoyoshi. His relationship with Jirou is a key aspect of his role in the story, as he is the one who found and took in the boy. In the year Shinka 20, Magotake discovered Jirou as a newborn baby at a landing site and decided to protect and raise him. He also raised Emi Kino alongside Jirou, though the exact time she came into his care is unknown. His past includes working at the Ikuta Labs, a connection that provides him with useful contacts and a deeper understanding of superhuman research. It was during his time at these labs that he met a man named Yoshiaki Satomi. Before the war, he had also studied giant beasts, known as kaijuu, in the jungle, demonstrating his long-standing fascination with the non-human.
In his role with the Superhuman Bureau, Magotake acts as a knowledgeable and reliable support figure. His scientific knowledge is a valuable asset to the team, aiding in their investigations and management of various superhuman cases. A notable achievement from his career was the discovery of the giant apex creature known as Gagon on an island in the Indian Ocean in Shinka 14. This event shows his active role in the field of paleontology and superhuman study before the main narrative. His abilities are grounded in his intellect and experience rather than any superhuman power, making him an example of how ordinary humans contribute to a world filled with extraordinary beings. He provides a sense of stability and paternal wisdom, functioning as both a family member to Jirou and a professional asset to the Bureau.
