Minato Sakai (サカイ・ミナト Sakai Minato?) is character from the Gundam Build Fighters Try anime television series. Minato is a professional Gunpla Builder.
Skills and Abilities
Minato has great skill in building gunpla, as the Mega Shiki he built for Shunsuke Sudou has been shown to be at par with Yuuki's Lightning Gundam. He is also capable of building a gunpla from scratch within a few minutes.
As a fighter, he shows proficiency as he was able to defeat Sekai Kamiki on their first battle at G-Muse.
Personality & Character
Minato is a very smug and arrogant person, as shown when he addresses Sekai Kamiki as a loser after he defeats Sekai (who did not really know what he was doing) in an SD Gunpla Battle. He also believes he is the best Gunpla builder in the world. He is willing to accept that he is in wrong, though he is shocked if it is so.
History
Minato Sakai is from Osaka, Japan and learned to build at Gunpla Shingyo School, the same school Mao Yasaka attended. One day, he shows up presenting a Master Grade NZ-000 Queen Mansa at a shop in G-MUSE. But when he finds out that the store hired him because Yuuma Kousaka had cancelled their original order, he leaves in a bad mood. He then meets Fumina Hoshino and Sekai in G-MUSE. He observes Sekai's battle against three young children and calls him a loser, claiming he knows nothing about Gunpla and proceeds to challenge him to a Gunpla Battle. When Fumina points out he has no Gunpla he replies that he is able build one in an instant. Minato picks up a Kouki Gundam, tosses the contents into the air, then pulls out a pair of clippers and builds the SD within a matter of seconds. During the fight he constantly insults Sekai, telling him he is a weak fighter who doesn't understand Gunpla Battle. Sekai then unlocks his Musha Godmaru's hidden power. However, Minato then reveals that his Gunpla can transform and wins the battle. Template:Cite
He provides the president of Team G-Master Shunsuke Sudou with the high-quality MSN-001M Mega-Shiki for the Tournament. When Yuuma assumes that he is helping Team G-Master as revenge for not competing against him in Gunpla building competitions, he denies it but says that it would be a sort of added bonus.
