Outside his family, only a handful of people had the chance to see Mikiya in his true appearance, due to him having to take on many disguises in order to keep his identity as confidential as possible. But those who had the pleasure to have seen him almost always will comment that he is truly an attractive and charismatic man, a perfect example of how people during the prime of their lives should be. But what can he say? It is simply another thing that has been running in the Kaneshiro family for generations, aside from their empathetic abilities.
With his job strict requirement in resilience, adeptness and flexibility, getting out of shape is a complete taboo for Mikiya. Which is why vigorous training has become a daily part of his life, resulted in his perfectly-toned body. The most eye-catching feature of him, though, is probably his white hair - the very sign that signifies the members who was born with power within his clan. It is also the part that Mikiya is proudest in, as it reminds him of his honor as a Kaneshiro, and would never change or dye them no matter which disguises he takes. His amber eyes are also quite striking at first look, but more often than not, some people say that there is something within those eyes of his that is hard to grasp.
Mikiya has a surprisingly fashionable tastes when it comes to his own attires, which is something he has spent honing over the years of taking up disguises after disguises. He knows exactly what to dress in which setting as not to come out as out of place. But outside works, Mikiya prefers casual styles that he is most comfortable in, most notable a simple white shirt, gray trousers and a pair of slip-ons.

First and foremost, Mikiya was raised to be a good person. He is a good son to his parents, a good brother to his sister, a good uncle to his nephew, and a good heir to the clan's elders. He is a chivalrous man, who exudes an aura of calmness and bears a genuine heart that wishes nothing but kindness to others. Taking care of those around him is an all-time favorite past time of him, and never would he be seen without a gentle smile on his face. He treats everyone with respect, and never turn down their needs as long as they are within reasons and his abilities. With or without his ability at works, Mikiya understands people's feelings well, and is quite sensible in dealing with them. He is a truly a man anyone would find pleasant to be around.
Yet, he was also raised to be a spy, and a prominent one at that. This fact alone is enough to say a lot about him. Despite being bestowed with the ability to tamper with emotions, Mikiya does not allows his or anyone's personal feelings to interfere with what he has planned, sticking completely to logic and radical reasoning, Rather, it is because he bears such power within him that he cannot allow them to hinder him, since he understands the way they work all too well. Mikiya has a keen sense of intuition, and can pick out details from the smallest hints. Collecting all the information, gather and piecing them together, and come to the most reasonable conclusion. Such is the way Mikiya always acts. Whether he looks like it or not, he never stops planning his every move, so that he will always have the upper hand. He has no qualms in using anything in his convenience, if it means he can get the job done. Mikiya is not without his own morals, he will not harm innocents and bystanders, and even if it is necessary to do so in his viewpoint, he will try to reduce the casualty to the minimum. But when certain that he has all the rights to execute his job, Mikiya will strike down anyone standing on his path, be it friends or foes, mercilessly.
Mikiya's view on how the world works may come off as foolish and cruel to others, but since he was but a youngster, he has taken up the ideal that for the welfare of the many, at times, the sacrifice of the few is inevitable. There is no such thing as a scenario where all can found salvation. The current state of the world they are living in is a constant battle for the fittest, and only the best can survive. And no matter who it is, everyone is but a mere pawn to one another, struggling against each other to become the master of the chessboard. It is simply the cruelty of life, which Mikiya himself is no exception.
A kind and ordinary man who finds joy in the simplest of things in his everyday life, or a sophisticated man who would hold nothing back in pursuit of the flawless completion of what he is ordered to do, which one is the true Mikiya to you? It is a question that you yourself must decide the answer if you wanted to know.

┍━━━━━━━━━. POWER' ━━━━━━━━━┑
Mikiya is an empath, meaning that he holds the ability to tell what others are feeling, no matter how elaborate their mask, which allows him to attack people on a personal level. Having been trained by his family's elders since his childhood and having utilized it for a good twenty years, it goes without saying Mikiya can control his power like it was but another extended part of his body, though not at the fullest extent of it yet. His power allows him to feel the emotions of people within an area as large as an amusement park, and up to hundreds of people at once, effectively making him a walking presence detector. He can switch his power on and off at his leisure, and renders all lies meaningless before him. To a degree, Mikiya can also forcefully manipulate the emotions of others, like bringing up the worst trauma of their lives, but this power is not very reliable and tends to backfire if his target is either too emotional or stoic.
Mikiya's family was originally known as Kanzaki, but changed into Kaneshiro when they become the few of the Sixty-Nines that survived the nuclear cataclysm nearly a century ago. They are nowhere the only clan with empathetic abilities among their line, and their prowess is not as impressive as some other people with super powers like them. But with this emergence, they went on to become one of the most prominent intelligence force in the world, as no one can detect them nor find out about their identities after they have finished the job they were given to. Members of the family who are gifted always will have white hair when they are born, and they would be trained vigorously and intensely, until they become enforcers of defense in the name of their nation.

A life surrounded in adventures and actions, filled with conspiracies and betrayal. That would be a way to put Mikiya's life in short. But of course, being born into a family of spies means that his life would be anything but normal.
Despite not bearing the gift for the family's power, Mikiya's father, Sourenji, was one of the most outstanding member of the clan back when he was younger. He had accomplished many feats that had helped the nation in pushing off invasions and corruption within Japan, which is still in the progress of picking up the pieces despite the incident have passed by for so long. He is married to his wife Izumi who, surprisingly, is also another empath growing up in an orphanage. They loved each other dearly although they do not have many chances to see each other, while having to keep their profiles low to most people. Eventually, they gave birth to their first child, Mikiya.
High expectations have already been placed upon the young infant the moment his white hair become visible. As early as four years old, Mikiya has already began to develop his power, and has been put through extensive training. Other children at such age are still allowed to be carefree, and to enjoy the love of those around them as much as they want, but for Mikiya, his path has already been destined, and that is to continue to uphold his family's long tradition. Sometimes, he was jealous of the normal lives of those at his age around him, he yearned to be able to do ordinary things and live an ordinary life, but knowing what responsibility was placed upon him, he shrugged those thought all off. He had sacrificed his youth, for the smiles and the normal lives of others, and he was contented for it. His ideal originated starting here, and is still a driven force that guides him through his every way.
At the age of 6, Mikiya was no longer alone as he once was when his sister, Aoko, was born. Her birth was considered to be peculiar, as there have been few records of a second child also bearing the gift of empathy. But before they could rejoice, Sourenji was reported to be missing during a mission and was assumed dead. The news shocked the whole family, but there was but little time for them to mourn, as they must move on. Mikiya had sworn that he will continue where his father had left off, and bring pride to his clan, just like he once did.
His training went on for another six long years, before Mikiya was sent to his very first missions. Though still uncertain and fearful for his life, he had managed to accomplish them well. Assignments after assignments, he was no longer the child that those of his age should be, but more like a machine perfectly and logically built for espionage. He was born for it, and it is the only purpose of his life. It was not very long afterwards that Aoko was also sent to accompany Mikiya, and her own missions. Years after years, he and his sister are the looked after each other's backs and saved each other countless of times as they were sent to different lands all over the world. Life really was just simple as that for Mikiya, if you can even call it simple.
Aoko met and was married to a young weapon specialist also working for the Japanese government named Satsuki. At first, Mikiya was distrustful towards the man, being an overprotective brother that he is, but welcomed him into the family when he saw that there is now another one to look after her for him. Only a year later, and he is greeted with the newest addition to the family, his nephew Hatake. As Aoko had to take a temporary retire to take care of her son and train him as he grew up, most assignments are now Mikiya to take care, and so he was rarely home. But when he does, he felt like he was in heaven, surrounded by the only ones whom he can shed his deceitful shell off.
And so, as the year 2113 comes, the Kaneshiro family received a call from a foreign land that they they never thought they would saw again. The message from the call was simple, and that is to send one of them to Berlin, the capital of Germany, where apparently something of a grave nature is going on that the Sixty-Nines, or rather, their descendants, are needed again. After much deliberation between the elders of the family, they have ultimately decided that there is no one better to answer the call than Mikiya himself.
Despite having skepticism, and because this may the longest period that Mikiya had to stay away from home, he had had thoughts about accepting the request to be sent to the land so far away. But with much reassurances from his beloved ones, Mikiya decided to throw it all behind, placing his belief in the strong words of his family. With no hesitations in his steps, Mikiya took on a disguise, faking his identity, and embark on a plane towards Berlin, with the anticipation of how will the course of the world will change.
