Uzu Sanageyama, also known as The Monkey, is a character from the Kill la Kill series.
== Charactah Account ==
Uzu Sanageyama is the Athletic Committee Chair. In addition to his 3-Star Ultima Uniform, Uzu has the power of the Heaven's Eye, which allows him to predict the behavior of his enemies just by observing the movement of their muscles, their breath and other simple reactions. He fights with a shinai, a bamboo training sword.
Uzu challenges Ryuuko to a duel and subsequently lost because of his overdependence on his Heaven's Eye, losing his rank as one of the Four Devas. Because of that humiliation, he has his eyes sewn shut, removing his eyesight altogether, including the Heaven's Eye. He asks Satsuki for a second chance and reinstatement into the Four Devas, who after seeing his determination, approves.
With his eyesight gone, Uzu's other four senses heighten to the point of manifesting the superior Mind's Eye, and he manages to overpower and cause Ryuuko to retreat in their rematch.

== Trivia ==
* Uzu's gaining of Shingantsu is similar to the origins of Marvel Comics' Daredevil, where losing his vision enhanced his other senses.
* Uzu's self-inflicted blindess in order to please Satsuki shares similarities to the legend of the Shinto storm god of Summer, Susano’o, a swordsman who was banished from Heaven to the underworld to live in total darkness.
* When Uzu transforms his Blade Regalia Mk.I in Episode 6, the transformation sequence erroneously shows the head and leg of the Blade Regalia Mk.II before showing the full shot of the transformed uniform.
* In Uzu's name, "Saru" means monkey in kanji.
