Sakahagi is a character in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.

Profile

Sakahagi is a blood-thirsty Manikin obsessed with gathering magatsuhi and becoming strong enough to rule demonkind. He cares for no one but himself and gains sadistic pleasure from killing others, even other manikins, causing him to be labelled as a traitor to his kind. He has a habit of taking the skin of his victims and sewing them into his clothes.

Design

Sakahagi's garb is made up of the skins of other Manikin, and he wears a mask of another's face. He also sports a rope around his waist, and sandals made of smaller ropes, just as the typical Manikin do. his sleeves, the only part of his clothing aside from his cut-down unamori is splattered with blood.

The imagery of a body covered with faces is reminiscent of Isamu Nitta's design following the encounter with him in the Amala Network.
