![]() M R . H A N E K O M A . out there be monsters Name: Sanae Hanekoma. Mr. H. Coffee Man. CAT. Ethereal UPS Guy. Producer. Fallen Angel. Take your pick, he doesn’t care. Age: Nobody knows. What they do know, however, is that he was born on March 3rd, is a Pisces, and is most likely really damn old. Homeworld / Town: Shibuya, bay-bee; born, raised, and died. How they can move through worlds: The world of Shibuya – like all other worlds – has multiple ‘alternate universes’, stemming always from the point where someone makes a significant choice. Some of the alternate universes are stranger than others. So of course, as he can traverse these universes, it stands to reason that he can traverse the worlds, ne? Fandom: The World Ends With You. Where else are you going to find a man named Sanae Hanekoma, for crying out loud? Additional Information: -- In his name are the Japanese words “hane” and “neko”, meaning ‘feathers’ and ‘cat’ respectively. This is important. -- He’s big on gambling. -- His favorite word is ‘windfall’. -- He has a not-so-secret weakness for Tin Pin, and hosts a small tournament season every so often in his café WildKat. -- He's an addict to coffee and parties (though he denies excessive involvement with both). Other Characters: Lexaeus and Ienzo. History: God only knows how long it’s been since Sanae Hanekoma was alive. Actually, God doesn’t exactly know either, because technically speaking Mr. Hanekoma is higher than Joshua on the Reapers’ Game food chain. Oh well. However long it had been, he definitely bided his time until he became the Producer of the Reapers’ Game, and was therefore obliged to return back to the Realground as a form of disguise… if anyone saw him, he would be devastated. Mr. H is all about mystery, you see. There’s nothing he loves more than creating an alias for himself and watched everyone else twirl around over it. So if someone happened to recognize the poor little ten-year-old boy who got killed in unfortunate Reaper business and busted his ass trying to get through the next Week, well, he would have been crushed. And left in a pretty awkward situation, too, I suppose, but that’s a story for another AU. So once he was sure everyone who would recognize him was dead (no easy feat, considering his death was something of a news magnet at the time), Mr. H set his vibe to represent an age of around 23, and descended upon the Realground in a burst of light (a ‘burst of light’ meaning, in true Hanekoma style, driving in with a popular car of the time). He set himself up with a legal change of name – there was no way in the pits of Hell that he was going to walk around using the name of a dead boy – and a coffee shop, grabbed some spray cans, and began to make waves while still keeping himself completely under wraps. This was the Hanekoma Way, you see. During his time as Director, Mr. H forged a good friendship with the Composer of the time, one Yoshiya Kiryuu. He too took up a new name, ‘Joshua’, the name that most people (read: his parents) knew him as in life. In truth, Shibuya’s greatest stalker had a stalker himself. As a Director and Angel (the ethereal wardens of the Reapers), Hanekoma had the power to sense those with truly impeccable vibes, and subtly wink and nudge to the hands of Fate in order to lead them to a desired conclusion. Yoshiya Kiryuu was one of those people, and yes – Mr. Hanekoma far predated Joshua in his employment to the Reapers’ Game. Hanekoma had taken a shine to this boy people called ‘Joshua’, and watched him. Of course, as Director, he had no right to cheerfully go in and kill someone so that they may be entered into the Reapers’ Game. However, Hanekoma isn’t exactly known for his ability to adhere to the rules. Sanae Hanekoma, as mentioned previously, gets his kicks off of secrets – secrets withheld from friends and enemies alike. Indeed, he has even shrouded himself from ‘dear old friend’ Joshua, keeping several of his more unpleasant activities from the Composer. (Including the exact details of his death; as far as Joshua can recall, he was killed by a faceless thug.) Indeed, Joshua has very little idea who had been stalking him from the Underground for almost every important event of his life (except for when there was Game business to attend to, of course~), and Hanekoma has no guilt about withholding the information further. After all, that was life and this is Reaperdom; never the selves shall meet, right? However, he did make friends with Joshua of his own merit, and as the Director was charged with the manufacturing of special materials – like the powered Pins, for example. He ran this Reaper shipping business out of WildKat, which earned him the (usually affectionate) nickname of Ethereal UPS Guy among his coworkers. Joshua had been the one to spill his little Proxy plan to Hanekoma, and he had seen no problem with it – after all, he was practically obliged to deny or accept it, as practically the only line of communication between Joshua and the Higher Plane. Also as Director and associate of Composer, he showed up around Neku every so often, offering a piece of useful advice or Title Dropping memes. Ah, yes. Another Hanekoma-ism. Mr. H likes popping in at the most opportune moments, usually from thin air. Regardless, it was around this time that he composed the Secret Reports, which he keeps in a very unassuming spiral notebook and stores on his person at all times with the magic of hammerspace (which also has thermal and time-warping capabilities, so his coffee stays fresh and warm whenever he takes one for the road!). Anyway, he pranced through the Reapers’ Game’s three weeks of involvement with Neku, watching from the background and making a critical ‘mistake’. He associated with Sho Minamimoto. Around the time the Taboo Noise were going bonkers and making Shibuya their personal punching bag, Hanekoma was watching and frowning at Joshua’s plans. He honestly was going to destroy Shibuya and everyone in it, to try and make a new world more suitable to his liking. (Thoughtfully, Hanekoma wondered if anyone saw parallels to several other sources, including a children’s video game and a sacred book.) Hanekoma had been the one to teach Sho how to use the Taboo Noise, hoping that through his totally erratic attitude, Joshua would be forced to come to his senses and not set a holy hand grenade upon the entire city of Tokyo. In a way, he succeeded, despite taking the largest possible risk and using a math-loving loony bin escapee to do it. Shibuya was saved, Joshua escaped the claws of the very same math-loving loony bin escapee… and Hanekoma was charged with hunting through all the other worlds to find Joshua. Sigh. Right Now: Mr. H is stalking the different worlds, searching for his little buddy Joshua. Through both his associate Joshua and his own deduction, he has become aware of the fact that out there be Heartless… though he’s not particularly concerned for the fate of the Underground. After the trials and terrors it has seen recently, essential clones of the Noise won’t be a problem. The Realground, however, is a whole different can of Corehogs. |
