Voice Actor JP: Satoshi Hino
EN: Edward Bosco

Both playwright and actor, he adores fantastical stories abounding in adventure. He was driven out of Theatropolis due to artistic differences, and attempted to put on performances at sea, only to meet with a shipwreck. This experience inspired him to take up the name of Shipwreck King. His favorite food is ratatouille, but he also like omelettes.
