Personality

Michinaga is a head of Heiankyo's aristocratic class, his family a ruling power in Japan at the time. He wishes to simply live as a noble, but must supervise the city. He is enamored with Seimei, but she always gives him the slip.

He wishes to have a powerful Makai Knight, preferably the Golden Knight, under his exclusive command to enforce his influence over the region. It is later revealed that the current Ashiya Douman is his brother, cast away as an infant for reasons unknown. Michinaga extends a hand to his brother to join him, but Douman refuses out of spite. Michinaga displays incredible emotional control, staying calm during the attack on the palace and the emergence of the Crimson Moon, and vows that he will never become a Horror. Michinaga seems to be delighted with Raikou's argument about him and Ashiya Douman being the same. However, he also states that Raikou and Ashiya Douman are also the same, much like the philosophy of yin and yang. During Rudra's awakening, Michinaga refuses commoner entry to the Light Palace and lies to the populace, finally losing his cool when his magic book, which keeps the protective barrier around the Light Palace in place, is stolen. He mistakenly blames Yorinobu, who had butted heads with him only moments prior, and demands his execution. In GARO: The Fleeting Cherry Blossom, he is pursued by a Horror that inhabits an ancient cherry blossom tree which was activated by the brother and sister, Tokimaru & Akira. They sought revenge against Michinaga for their clan ancestor Duke Kan, Sugawara-no-Michizane of the Hajimi, whom he accused of treason and sent into exile for which he shows no remorse. When the Horror descended its curse upon the village, Michinaga shows his true colors having gone insane and welcomed the death of everyone believing he would remain unharmed with Akimitsu present. When the Horror is defeated by Raiko, Seimei, Kintoki, & Yasusuke, Michinaga is later stripped of his title and arrested for his complete and callous disregard of the safety of the people within the capital.
