Komari Kishigami, a second-year student at Kyoto Fushimi High School, has been a consistent member of its bicycle racing club since his first year. He sports jaw-length blue hair with pink streaks, frequently held back by a thick pink headband. His eyes usually appear narrow but widen significantly when excited. He dons bluish-black polarized sunglasses during races and switches to frameless reading glasses otherwise. Outwardly, Komari presents a calm, poised demeanor marked by polite speech and a placid smile. This composure often masks passive-aggressive tendencies and backhanded compliments. Privately, he judges others harshly if they fail to capture his interest, including teammates. His defining obsession is muscles, rooted in childhood insecurities about his own thin, frail build. Raised with strict etiquette reminiscent of a traditional female upbringing, he initially suppressed his compulsion to touch muscles, fearing perceptions of abnormality. A pivotal middle school encounter with Akira Midousuji shifted this. During rainy training, Midousuji urged him to embrace his "stranger side," prompting Komari to confess his desire. Midousuji struck a bargain: permission to touch muscles and train as a masseur in exchange for Komari becoming a competitive cyclist capable of surpassing him. This agreement forged Komari's dual role: serving as the team's masseur while honing his cycling skills. As a masseur, he assesses muscle quality through touch, a skill later applied in races to monitor opponents' muscle contractions. This ability prevents him from being faked out and helps maintain pace by tracking physiological cues. His riding style emphasizes rhythm, efficiency, and fundamental technique, enabling effortless standing accelerations even during warm-ups. In races, his polarized sunglasses become a tactical tool, worn only in final stages when opponents pull ahead. The UV-blocking lenses maintain visual focus during pursuit. His muscle obsession also functions strategically, causing disruptions that aid team tactics and serving as a decoy. Key race involvements include replacing a teammate as Kyoto Fushimi’s sixth rider in the Inter-High competition. He scouted rivals like Sakamichi Onoda, initially dismissing him until touching his muscles revealed unexpected development. During the Inter-High, he effortlessly passed elite riders in warm-ups and assessed Imaizumi’s muscle condition mid-race. He later competed in sprint checkpoints, symbolically continuing a prior-year rivalry. Quirks include addressing upperclassmen such as Kimitaka Koga with honorifics regardless of school affiliation. He meticulously washes his hands before handling his bicycle to preserve fingertip sensitivity. He affectionately anthropomorphizes his bike and recites multiplication tables when announcing arrivals. His interests encompass sakura-mochi and chicken tenders, and he vocalizes "Appa!" during accelerations. Parodying a cooking show, he once demonstrated prolonged meat massaging, showcasing his lack of impulse control.
