Saichi Sugimoto is the main character of Golden Kamuy.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Sugimoto is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese war that is seeking for the eponymous golden Kamuy - a massive hoard of gold hidden somewhere in Hokkaido. It goes beyond saying that the damned thing has been hidden away, and the closest thing to a treasure map lies in the hands (well, on the bodies) of several recent prison escapees. Who understandably ran off in various directions.
His scavenger hunt is aided by a young Ainu huntress named Asirpa, who tags along because she urgently needs a new daddy figure after the guy who hid the gold killed her original one. Sugimoto himself also appears to be part-crustacean, as he is seemingly incapable of feeling pain and can regenerate large chunks of his body after invariably getting stabbed, chopped up, or mauled by bears.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Saichi Sugimoto fought in PilotMania, where he faced off against Miketama. Long story short, he isn't as Immortal as people would think he is.
