Mamoru Hoshigaki

**Mamoru Hoshigaki** (*星垣守, Hoshigaki Mamoru*) better known under the alias **Me-Mania** (*ミーマニア, Mīmania*) was a shinobi of Kirigakure's Hoshigaki Clan who was obsessed with Sakura.

## Background

Little is known of Mamoru's early life, but according to private documents found by the Konoha and Kiri police, Mamoru was abandoned as a small child by his parents due to his appearance. He was adopted by a little known family living in a small corner of the Hoshigaki Clan compound. Both of his adoptive parents Ushio, and Isei were abusive and alcoholic his mother having been brainwashed by his father. Mamoru showed clear signs of abuse at the academy, the teachers having no knowledge of the abuse happening behind closed doors, did nothing to help, and the children at the academy often abused and made fun of him often subjecting him to severe unspeakable tortures that left him scarred and mutilated. Multiple interventions were made for both the children and parents. Ushio and Isei denied ever abusing Mamoru, and told the academy teachers that the "situation" was none of their concern before leaving with Mamoru, Ushio told one of the teachers that he and his wife "do not consider Mamoru human or a son". The abuse escelated further, Mamoru's mother began to lock him in a cage. Eventually, after so many years of the abuse, Mamoru snapped and imprisoned his parents in the cage as punishment. However, he neglected them, and both parents died of starvation. Not removing the corpses from his house, Mamoru acted like they were still alive and talked to them. Mamoru eventually ran away and raised himself.

Mamoru became obsessed and fell in love with Sakura, and often stalked to her, to the point where Sakura feared for her life and hid with her sons. Sasuke would come to her rescue, but would be overpowered by Me-Mania.

Eventually, Me-Mania gets a letter from the admin of the "Mima's Room" letter forum displaying false diary entries. The admin reveals himself as the "Real" Sakura (later Hakaru Hoshigaki), manipulating him that Sakura was an imposter and requests him to dispose of her. Me-Mania willingly accepts her offer and starts killing people associated with Sakura, such as her friend Murano.

The next day, once Sakura finished her work,. Me-Mania attacks her with a knife, pervertedly cutting her clothing while remarking that she had to "follow the script". Sakura tries to fight back by throwing objects at him, but he withstands her efforts and pins her down. He was eventually convinced that the actual Sakura was an imposter, therefore taking it upon himself to "protect the real Sakura" and remove the obstacle (this is the only time when/where he speaks, which comes off as crude and psychotic). He then proceeds to attack Sakura and attempts to rape her. Before he could rape her, Sakura manages to grab a hammer and bashes it into the side of Me-Mania's head, knocking him out. Sakura goes to show her assaulter to Sasuke, only he is gone once she returns. When eventually proven useless and no longer needed, Hakaru later killed him like the other victims.

## Personality

Me-Mania is a man completely obsessed with Sakura, viewing her as the centerfold of his entire life. He is also a psychotic individual having endured so many years of abuse at the hands of his so-called parents. He is also mentally ill and delusional believing his former master Hakaru Hoshigaki to be "the real Sakura" when all along, the real Sakura was right in front of him.

## New era

Unfortunately, the Mysterious Force resurrected Mamoru as a Spirit, but not before restricting access to Sakura to the point where he can only watch her from a distance. Even now, he is rarely ever seen in the series.
