## Bio and Info

### Role(s) in the DEKAverse

Maguro is top level, somewhat a bit sarcastic and strange. Being the most skilled of Higure University, his known talents are of cooking, studying, gaming, and, of course, his use of kendama.

Alongside with Ringo, he lives in Suzuran, an exclusive city in Japan, in which his family owns a fish shop. Nothing much is about it.

### Backstory

In similarities to Ringo's, nothing much has drastically happened to his, in which it started up in a standard way. Before Maguro was born, because of his father's fame of being a fishmonger since, his father, and even his other relatives, opened a fish shop at the time.

As a kid, Maguro met Ringo when both their families interacted once the Sasaki family started moving to a new home in Suzuran.

Since his elementary school years, he's heavily skilled at the stuff he was nearly good at. The studying was the first skill he seemed good to go through. At his tween years, he instantly hit whatever's called ***"reverse puberty"***, which gave out the miracles in his eyes, giving the ability to infatuate. He constantly had to grow out his fringe to hide this.

Due to that puberty hit, he was mentally (or probably physically, sadly) bullied by some schoolmates due to his looks, before they apologized and forgot about it.

He later on joined the Physics Club in Higure University, hosted by Ringo.

### Abilities

Despite being the most talented / skilled, **he's known for his professional use of his kendama**, in which his spells consist certain moves of it, apart from the fact that he isn't actually a mage like the other most known Suzuran residents. Apparently, the descriptive theme according to his main spells hasn’t been said, except sparkles and stars.

Besides his "magic", because of his "puberty" he hit as a tween, **he's also know for his "accidental" infatuation**, so he has to hide his eyes with his fringe to refrain it from suddenly happening in times around.

### General debuts

Alongside with Ringo, he makes his first debut in 7, which was released in 2009; that was after many concepts and the Project Ringo teasers specifically.

Like the respectful franchise’s other SEGA-era characters, he never made debuts in the COMPILE era due to the similar reasons.

#### Concept

Before his first debut, **his most known concept design was Ringo's blue colored maho shojo companion**, who was the daughter of a fishmonger, no name given. Later on, that design was later drastically changed, and was turned into a male instead, due to a reason that there's already enough female characters to play as in the game's concept.

In fanon content, especially in DEKA, the blue magical girl was then reintroduced as a separate character within a different role.

## Appearance / Design

Light-skinned, Maguro has short purple hair and in a small low-ponytail, with multiple yellow highlights and a bigger fringe that hides his eyes. Speaking of which, his eyes consist of a slimmer shape with eyelashes, his irises being sectoral heterochromatic: silver with a bit of gold.

For accessory, he has a brown kendama, with includes some red and gray trim, and a red ball attached by its string.

In honor of his family, moreover his father, he mainly wears a white pin with "鮪" written in light blue.

### Main attire

Over his black collared shirt with a navy tie, Maguro wears an asymmetrical bi-colored navy+gray hoodie with white accents and blue buttons, a dark gray belt, and a pair of lighter shaded pants. His footwear is of matching sneakers with slighter green accents.

## Relationships

### Main franchise relationships

* As some sort of quirk / gag, **he's known to add "★" in the end at most of his sentences**.
