Kanta Mizuno

Kanta Mizuno, also known as The Great Kanto Desert's Ghost or Sunabouzu, is the main protagonist from the Desert Punk anime and manga.

Kanta is infamously known as the most skilled handyman in the desert, performing tasks no one else could or would with a 100% success rate. All around, is a pretty humorous guy but when he gets mad you better run for cover. His only weakness is women.

In the AWA fics, Kanta is listed as a purchased prisoner from the Slave Fortress.

Appearance
Kanta is a slighty short young man with a short black hair and black eyes. He wears a brown cape over a green long-sleeve shirt and a brown pouched vest, he wears a dirty brown pants, boots and gloves. He wears a full-brim desert camo hat and a shielded gas mask.

Personality
Kanta is a rude, arrogant, perverted and overconfident handyman who despite his self-proclaimed professionalism acts like a thug with a badge. Nonetheless, he has a stellar job record. Kanta cares nothing but money, boobs and staying alive.

Kanta is always all about Kanta, and he sees everyone else as nothing more than tools to further his goals.

Kanta has no real redeeming moral qualities and doesn't care about anything except money, boobs and staying alive. However, much of his work ends up being vaguely heroic because of the jobs he's assigned tend to be things like "Take out this gang terrorizing our town."

Abilities
He's a very short guy who is still capable of wielding a high-caliber shotgun with ease, and even without it he can pretty easily beat the crap out of most people.

Kanta's one brilliant trait is his habit of accumulating gadgets that may, and do come in handy when he's in a pinch. He mainly uses his winch and numerous bombs and smokescreens for when he's cornered, but has also used sleeping gaz against big muscled thugs who've cornered him up close, an electronic scope to shoot his rifle around corners when shot at in open space, has rigged his own backpack with bombs in case it was stolen.

Trivia

 * Prior to becoming a mercenary, Kanta spent his childhood in Water Station #30 with the Machinegun Brothers and their sister, Natsuko Kawaguchi.
 * Kanta's most used gun in the series, a Winchester Model 1897, is a memento left by his father.
