Choujin X

Masao Chikabo

近保正夫

Story Role

Masao appears during Tokio and Ely's visit to Jasto, where multiple people have inexplicably been packaged. His rampage gives the two young Choujin another opportunity to deal with an uncontrolled awakening outside Yamato Mori.

Tokio attempts to intervene but is himself caught by the Package ability, demonstrating that Masao's apparently absurd power can incapacitate another Choujin immediately.

Ely responds more effectively and attacks Masao with her smoke. Damaging him releases the packaged victims and ends the immediate threat.

After being subdued, Masao is handled by Keeper Seppuku Edomura, who treats the incident less like a battle against an irredeemable villain than the breakdown of a man whose work and resentment triggered a dangerous Choujin awakening.
