Description
Mitsuteru Sakaki is a sixteen-year-old student at Saint Ishiyama High School, where he holds the position of a junior and serves as the captain of the kendo club. He is also a member of the Saint Ishiyama Club Captain's Alliance and one of the six holy knights known as the Rokkisei. Physically, he is tall at 182 centimeters, with long black hair that he typically keeps tied in a ponytail; in the anime adaptation, his hair is depicted as green. His eyes are often squinted, only opening fully when he is surprised or deeply serious. He wears the standard Ishiyama school uniform.
Sakaki is notably the most taciturn of the knights. He rarely speaks, even in battle or when supporting his comrades, and maintains an indifferent demeanor in both conversation and combat. His motivations are not explicitly stated, but as a Rokkisei, he appears dedicated to upholding the school's regulations and punishing those who violate them. He acts with a calm, almost detached resolve, following orders without visible emotion.
In the story, Sakaki is first introduced alongside his frequent partner, Shinjou, confronting the protagonist Oga in the school hallways. He later engages in battles against Oga and Aoi Kunieda, demonstrating impressive swordsmanship and the ability to keep pace with Aoi, though she ultimately proves superior—she once cut his wooden sword with a ruler, shocking him. His coordination with Shinjou is precise and well-practiced, indicating a reliable working relationship. It remains ambiguous whether he shares the common fear that other knights have toward their leader, as he never vocalizes his feelings on the matter.
Sakaki’s key relationships include his partnership with Shinjou, with whom he fights in sync, and his membership in the Rokkisei under the leadership of Takamiya. He does not undergo significant character development; he remains a consistent, stoic supporting figure throughout the series. His notable abilities are rooted in his kendo training: he wields a wooden sword with skill, moves quickly, and executes coordinated attacks with his partner. He has no supernatural powers, relying solely on his martial prowess and adherence to the school’s code.
