Masakaki

A strange being from the Financial District, who often pops up around Kimimaro out of nowhere.

Appearance
Masakaki has golden eyes, indicating that he is a Finacial District native. His skin is pale, almost albino white, and he has bright purple-pink hair. He also wears a top hat and a suit, plus a cane, making him look like a fantasy-type of entrepreneur. The ornament on his cane is most likely Midas himself.

(There appear to be multiple counterparts to Masakaki across the different finincial districts. They have different color schemes, but the clothing design and physical appearence is always the same.)



Personality
Masakaki is apparently ever-cheerful and possesses what appears to be a playful streak, frequently teleporting and popping around others' personal space unexpectedly. He addresess everyone with the suffix -sama, either as a form of extreme respect for the Entre or as a way of mocking sarcasm. Masakaki's personal view of the current situation is still unknown. Whether he is with Mikuni or against him is still questionable, as shown when he gives Yoga a Darkness card, though he says everything he does is an "order from above".

It could be said that he seeks to protect "his" finacial district, which can be seen when he gets irritated and upset by the fact that his American counterpart bounces back the effects of C towards Japan when it was supposed to hit America. Between each district, each Masakaki has a bit of a different personality, though all are playful and ever-cheerful.

History
Little is known of Masakaki's past. It seems to be that he has always been the invitee of new Entres, asking whether or not they wish to enter the Financial District. Whether or not Masakai's involvment with the district is personal or business is not yet clear though he is one of the most powerful members of the district

Plot
The first time he appears is when he reports to Sōichirō Mikuni that an new Entre wishes to fight Sōichirō head on. He then teleports him to where this new Entre is. There after, during the middle of a certain night, Kimimaro wakes up to be interupted by a visit from a strange gentleman who introduces himself as Masakaki. Masakaki then constanty tries to convince Kimimaro to become an Entreprenure/ Entre and come to the Financial District, however Kimimaro tries to decline but to no avail. Masakaki leaves Kimimaro with a huge deposit of 500,000 yen to convince him.

While in school Kimimaro acts distant and contemplates as to whether or not he should use the money. Eventually he decides to use it and is afterwards given a Midas Card by Masakaki and is taken to the financial district. He shows himself frequently throughout the series talking mostly to Kimimaro. Upon giving Kimimaro a Darkness Card he states that all he does is an order from his superiors.

After Mikuni's defeat, though the Financial District of Japan is gone, for some reason, Masakaki is still existent. He appears before Kimimaro, telling him that the Financial district can always be revived if he wishes so...

Even though he is supposed to be a being from the districts, he is unaffected when the Japanese District disappears. He still roams around, shown at the end of the last episode, and says he could revive the District if Kimimaro or someone wishes to.

Powers & Abilities
It is still not known what power he has in Deals, the battles fought in the Financial District using one's asset and money. Outside of that though, he can teleport, and also send himself and someone else to a different dimension where time is stopped. It is later shown that he can give Entres other Midas Cards, shown when he gave Yoga a Black Midas Card to confront Mikuni.

Relationships
His ties to each and every Entré differs. But with others who have high importance in the story line, such as Sōichirō Mikuni and Kimimaro, he associates with them a bit more frequently.

Trivia

 * It can be said that Masakaki has a small resemblance to the Chesire Cat in Alice in Wonderland. The both of them are usually seen smiling and the cat is usually depicted as pink-purple, like Masakaki's clothes patterns.
 * In other Financial Districts, it seems there are replicas of Masakaki's, each resembled by different colors. This shows that there is one Masakaki per District.
 * Generally, there's a sound effect of what seems to be coins clinking together when he waves his staff and a sound effect of an old style register processing a sale with every step he takes, describing his persona of an adventure capitolist/investor
 * His role in the Financial Dristrict is similar to those of a Bank Manager, Clerical Staff, Stock and Funds Broker, and Debt Collector (all in one).
