Manjiro Sano, more commonly known as Mikey, is a standout character in the popular series Tokyo Revengers. Despite having a dark side that can turn sinister and destructive under certain circumstances, Mikey has become a favorite among many fans due to the complexity of his character.
In the Tokyo Revengers storyline, Mikey is depicted at different ages, and understanding his age at various points in the multiple-timeline narrative adds depth to his character.
Mikey, the figurehead of the Tokyo Manji Gang in most timelines and a founding member in all, was born on August 20, 1990, making him a Leo. Despite being one of the shortest characters in the series, Mikey is not the youngest. When viewers first encounter him in 2005 during season 1 of Tokyo Revengers, he is 15 years old. This makes him a year older than the protagonist, Takemichi Hanagaki, affectionately called Takemitchy.
Mikey’s close friend and right-hand man, Ken Ryuguji, whom he met in 5th grade at around 11 years old, is only a few months younger than Mikey. In the future timeline of 2017, Mikey is depicted at the age of 27. As the story progresses to 2018, Mikey becomes his oldest at 28 years of age.
Understanding Mikey’s age at different points in the narrative provides insight into the character’s development and the various timelines explored in Tokyo Revengers.
