Description
Yasuhiro Mutō, nicknamed Mucho and known as the Ghost of the S-62 Generation, was born April 28, 1987. He stood 187 centimeters tall with a muscular build, blond hair typically styled in an undercut, and turquoise eyes in the manga (brown in the anime). His hairstyle and color shifted across timelines: a gelled left side part with black-dyed hair during Valhalla, and a pompadour during Tenjiku. His clothing reflected gang loyalties, changing from the Tokyo Manji Gang uniform to Tenjiku's red executive jacket with black outlines and symbol. Later appearances featured a three-piece suit with floral patterns, gold chains, and a fur trench coat.
Mucho displayed a predominantly calm, stoic, and collected demeanor, unusual among delinquents. He rarely showed emotion openly, maintaining composure even in combat. Despite this exterior, he demonstrated fierce loyalty and protectiveness towards those he trusted, treating vice-captain Haruchiyo Sanzu as a younger brother and frequently aiding Nahoya Kawata. He strictly enforced discipline and order within gangs, showing zero tolerance for betrayal or disobedience, guided by his personal motto: "Guilty until proven innocent." He disliked infighting but engaged in violence when necessary. Aspiring to become a coffee shop master, he enjoyed the smell of leather jackets and disliked chicken tenderloin. His special skill was playing shogi.
His background stemmed from the S-62 Generation, delinquents incarcerated together in a juvenile detention center. His criminal history included an assault conviction where a judo throw broke an opponent's spine on concrete. Inside, he bonded with Izana Kurokawa and others, pledging loyalty to Izana. After the S-62 disbanded, Mucho joined the Tokyo Manji Gang following defeat by Manjiro Sano. Rising to Fifth Division Captain, he handled interrogations and punishment of suspected traitors without needing leaders' permission, granting him significant authority. His division managed internal conflicts, and he was regarded as the physically strongest division captain.
Mucho's betrayal originated from his deeper allegiance to Izana Kurokawa. As a Tenjiku founder, he covertly undermined Tokyo Manji after Izana's release from prison. He orchestrated the kidnapping and torture of Takemichi Hanagaki, Hajime Kokonoi, and Seishu Inui, revealing his Tenjiku allegiance during this event. Loyalty to Izana's vision drove his actions, coupled with a belief he would have followed Manjiro Sano had they met earlier. He recruited other Tokyo Manji members, including Shuji Hanma, to Tenjiku. His treachery caused major conflict, particularly with Sanzu, who initially followed but later opposed him.
During the Tenjiku-Tokyo Manji conflict, Mucho fought in key battles like the Shibuya Halloween attack, overpowering opponents like Inui with judo throws. He was defeated alongside other S-62 members by Angry Kawata's transformation. Arrested with surviving Tenjiku executives after the battle, he was released six months later. Sanzu met him, luring him to a wharf for their final confrontation. Viewing Mucho as a traitor to Manjiro Sano, Sanzu attacked and killed him with a sword, leaving his body as an unidentified skeleton in Tokyo Bay. Mucho's final words expressed regret: "Is this my punishment for betrayal?"
In an alternate timeline altered by Takemichi Hanagaki's time travel, Mucho avoided death by Sanzu. He rejoined the reformed Tokyo Manji Gang within the Eighth Division. Collaborating with former rivals in the NPO TENJIKU, he volunteered to support orphans and underprivileged children, fulfilling his aspiration for positive contribution and diverging from his criminal path.
