Description

Aino Minato (愛野湊)

Minato is an energetic boy with a penchant for athletic activities, especially team sports. He's particularly good at soccer and was team captain in middle school. In contrast, he's incredibly lazy when it comes to studying and would rather sneak off to read manga or attend a concert. He is charismatic and a bit of a charmer, so he fits into leadership roles pretty easily. Despite this, he can often get carried away with himself and frustrate people around him by being totally oblivious. He appreciates all things beautiful, and particularly admires women - he considers women of all ages beautiful by nature, which makes him popular with some of the older unmarried female schoolteachers who might be a little more tolerant of his bad grades. Deep down he wants a girlfriend who he can have the most ridiculously cliche romance with, but
he has abysmal luck with any girl he gets a crush on, in spite of his love for women and his charisma. He loves karaoke and secretly plans to become an idol singer so he can have his own horde of fangirls. Despite his shortcomings, when push comes to shove he is a great leader in a tough situation and is always someone who his friends can fall back on.

Tumblr Post for reblogging

Wohoo!!! Minato is done! It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to write him, but it sort of came to me one night in an epiphany.

Minato (湊) means "harbor" or "port" in Japanese, so his name roughly translates to "Harbor of Love", which works pretty well. It's generally a Japanese boy's name.

I found a good analog for Minako's hair bow by making it an athlete's wristband that he wears on his left wrist. It's usually visible because he often wears his sleeves rolled up.

EDIT: Added another sketch of Minato's facial expressions. I felt like I didn't do justice to his personality and charm with the sketches I first laid out.
