Description:
A taciturn, weary traveler with dirt-stained hands and calm eyes. Haru carries a worn leather pouch filled with seeds that glow faintly at night. He never stays in one village for more than one harvest season. His ability, "Genesis Touch," allows him to germinate any seed instantly—but doing so transfers a year of his lifespan to the land.

At the heart of the database entry is the titular character, known simply as The Man.
In the Anime Characters Database, archetypes are everything. We have the Tsundere, the Shonen Protagonist, the Mysterious Transfer Student. The Man fits into none of these. He is an entity of pure, unyielding drive.
His character design is stark: a balding, middle-aged man in a sweater vest, often seen with a manic grin. He looks like a background character from a slice-of-life anime who somehow wandered into a Salvador Dalí painting.
