Movie
Description
Masato Hanzawa is a prominent supporting character throughout the *Sasaki and Miyano* franchise, including the main series, the spin-off *Hirano and Kagiura*, and the film *Sasaki and Miyano: Graduation*. He hails from a large family with an older brother, Masaomi, an older sister, Masako, and a younger brother, Masaki. Following his younger and older brothers simultaneously coming out as gay to their mother, Hanzawa is perceived as the son most likely to provide grandchildren. This family dynamic shapes his views on relationships, fostering both concern for his brothers' romantic futures and staunch support for their identities.
Standing 174 cm tall with a slim build and pale skin, Hanzawa possesses straight black hair that can appear purple in certain lighting. His most recognizable feature is his nearly perpetually closed eyes, though he occasionally opens them. He typically wears a calm smile that others often find unsettling or cryptic. He adheres to school regulations as a disciplinary role model, wearing earrings exclusively during non-school hours or on days off.
During his second year of high school, Hanzawa holds the positions of Disciplinary Committee president, Ping Pong Club captain, and dorm head. Academically accomplished, he achieves higher grades than peers like Hirano and actively engages in extracurricular projects. He describes himself as loving busy schedules and expresses sadness about graduating. Outside school, he volunteers at a nearby farm and maintains a group chat with over 100 members. His personality blends approachability with enigma; he is observant, remembers small details about others, and rarely raises his voice. Though generally calm and cheerful, his teasing of juniors—such as Kagiura's crush on Hirano or Miyano's height—can unsettle them. He enjoys provoking reactions but lacks malicious intent.
His relationships are multifaceted:
* With Miyano Yoshikazu, he acts as a Disciplinary Committee mentor, offering advice on love and confidence. He supports Miyano's cultural festival crossdressing by providing clothes and makeup assistance and later recommends him as his Committee chairman successor.
* With Hirano Taiga, he shares a close bond as classmates and Committee co-leaders (president and vice president). They frequently eat meals and study together, with Hirano seeking his counsel.
* With Kagiura Akira, he exhibits playful teasing coupled with underlying care, fully aware of Kagiura's feelings for Hirano. As dorm head, he subtly supports Kagiura without direct interference.
* His roommate, Kitagawa Yashiro, interacts with him on a first-name basis, indicating a relaxed dynamic.
In *Hirano and Kagiura*, his role expands to overseeing daily dorm life, where his leadership and perceptiveness remain central. During events like cultural festivals, he participates in class activities (e.g., a "bad boy"-themed café) and assists peers like Miyano. He also navigates personal boundaries, deflecting discussions about his own romantic life while engaging with others'. In the *Graduation* film, his involvement continues through school events and mentorship.
