Mikaela Hyakuya

Mikaela Hyakuya is the deuteragonist of the dark fantasy and vampire-themed manga series Seraph of the End. Born as Mikaela Shindou and nicknamed Mika for short, he is the childhood friend of protagonist Yuichiro Hyakuya. Despite the similar surnames, they are actually not related, as it comes from the name of the orphanage where they are kept alive as livestock to satisfy the vampire's need for human blood. Mika devises a plan in order to escape the orphanage, but the attempt ends in failure with him dying in the process, but he is revived into a powerful vampire by Krul Tepes. Since then, Mika has sought to reunite with Yuichiro, who now harbors an intense hatred for vampires and has joined a vampire-killing group.

Mikaela is considered Seraph's most popular character and is often shipped in a gay romance with Yuichiro. His staus has led him to represent the series in the International Saimoe League, where he has appeared in every main tournament since 2018 but has never made it to the latter periods of the regular season.

History
Mikaela spent his first two years in ISML (2018 and 2019) by exiting the Aquamarine wildcard round (first period), enabling him to enter its divine crown consolation tournament. There, he reached the final four in 2018, losing to eventual winner Alphonse Elric, and then won the award in 2019 by defeating Ryunosuke Akasaka in the title decider.

After suffering another winless first-period exit in ISML 2020, which consisted of three group stages called "splits", Mikaela finally managed to progress to Split 2 in 2021 --- which uses the same regular season format but with less contestants --- after he won his first two matches in Split 1 against newcomer Megumi Fushiguro and returning male Tatsuya Shiba. He then finished 14th in his Split 2 group, eliminating him from the tournament, and ultimately placed 55th overall.
