Michelangelo Deroginev Cembaletta San Sei

Michelangelo carries the unusual hereditary condition of his family without allowing it to prevent him from functioning as a professional Keeper. His insect-like appearance is simply part of his everyday existence rather than a temporary transformation.

He is dependable enough to participate in Yamato Mori's most dangerous organized operations and works effectively alongside Keepers whose abilities are very different from his own.

The available material emphasizes his inherited circumstances and professional role more heavily than his private interests or emotional life.

As an Insect Choujin, Michelangelo can communicate with insects, understand their emotional responses and direct them to perform simple tasks.

He has a particularly useful relationship with Shudder Bugs. These specialized insects react to the scent and concentration of Choujin super cells, becoming increasingly agitated as the concentration rises. Michelangelo can therefore use them as living detectors for locating Choujin.

His inherited Choujin physiology also grants access to Raise. The Cembaletta lineage is associated with unusually substantial power in exchange for some descendants being born in insect form.

Michelangelo serves among the Yamato Mori forces assembled for large-scale operations. His tracking ability makes him particularly valuable when the organization needs to locate Choujin rather than simply overpower them.

He later joins Tokio and Michael during Operation Old Market in Minami City, using his insect-based sensory abilities as part of their investigation.

Michelangelo also participates in the assault involving Sora at the Tower of Mourning, fighting alongside other Yamato Mori Keepers in an exceptionally prolonged battle against a Choujin X.

Michael Es frequently operates alongside Michelangelo as another Yamato Mori Keeper and accompanies him during Operation Old Market.

Tokio Kurohara works with Michelangelo and Michael in Minami City.

Ichirou Satou commands or coordinates operations in which Michelangelo participates.

Sora Siruha becomes an opponent during one of Yamato Mori's largest operations. Michelangelo joins the prolonged effort to contain her despite the enormous difference between an ordinary Keeper and a Choujin X.
