Manabu Ishigata

Manabu Ishigata was the man who freed Chiyoko, Pine , and Guriko from Über Labs.

History
Manabu was an affiliate of the research conducted into Ubermenshification at Uber Labs, where they conducted experiments on three children as though they were lab rats. However at some he broke away from this affiliation and rescued the children from the facility, in order to make amends. During the resulting case chase, he swerved out of the way of a truck and crashed off the road. As the car fell into the river below, it was struck by lightning, which caused the spirits of the children to get mixed up.Manabu managed to keep with Chiyoko (who was now physically Guriko), although he couldn't keep with the other two. After this he began living with Chiyoko and looking after her.

However after they had spent quite a bit of time living together, members of the Qmay group tracked them down and surrounded the house. To protect Chiyoko, Manabu told her to run, and that he promised he would protect her. He then burned the house down along with himself, while the pursuers were inside.
