Miracle Ito is Sakuraba's manager, who takes more of an interest in Sakaruba's modeling career than his football career. Ito wears cheap but expensive looking suits to appear successful, and he does everything he can to make Sakuraba popular. After Sakurba shaves his head and becomes completely focused on football, Ito is devastated. He eventually backs the decision, deciding to market him for his athletic prowess and even begins to honestly cheer for him.
