Makara

Profile

"Ah, I'm Makara, the lifeguard. Don't stray too far from the shore now."

A transfer student and water polo club member working part time as a lifeguard at Edogawa Ward's beach, popular with beachgoers for his friendly, laid back personality and soothing atmosphere. His usual sleepy looking eyes are deceptively sharp and focused, and he never misses someone in need. As a man dedicated to preserving life, he dislikes someone who recklessly endangers their own.

Thanks to his large body, even swimming with another person on his back is easy, and being a lifeguard comes so naturally to him that Makara considers it his calling in life. He possesses a sacred treasure, a festoon and anchor that pierces through the water and wraps around its target anywhere, which he makes use of in his rescues. Knowing the dangers the ocean can pose, Makara respects others who also make their living by the sea.
