Sabato Rokudo

Sabato Rokudo is known for his striking red hair and red eyes, features he shares with his son Rinne and his own mother, Tamako. He maintains a permanently mischievous smile and possesses a youthful appearance that could pass for Rinne's older brother rather than his father. His stylish and breezy looks contrast heavily with his disastrous lifestyle choices.

Sabato is described as outgoing, charming, and always flaunting a sly grin. Despite his appearance, he is thoroughly irresponsible, infamous for wasting money, and even heartlessly exploits his own son for financial gain. He is a shameless womanizer with an extremely wide range of romantic interests, even having been involved with women much older than himself, though he draws the line at elementary school-aged girls. He almost never loses his smile, regardless of the situation, and has a habit of making light of circumstances, often to the frustration or annoyance of those around him.

Born as a half-human, half-shinigami (death god), Sabato is the child of Tamako, a full shinigami, and a human father. He is the founder and president of the Damashinigami Company, which is notorious for shady dealings and unethical business practices. Throughout his life, Sabato has avoided regular work and responsibilities, instead relying on scams and his company’s questionable activities.

Despite his failings as a shinigami, Sabato possesses considerable combat skills:

• His signature weapon, the "Bloodsucking Fire Car," can instantly turn anything it touches into cash, effectively draining a target’s finances.
• He can use this weapon as a boomerang, shield, and tool for gathering wealth, though his get-rich-quick schemes rarely go as planned.
• He has access to high-level shinigami skills, including creating tornadoes for teleportation.
• His spiritual cleansing ability is quite low, but he managed to defeat a holder of the prestigious Gold License in the past, allowing him to obtain one for himself.
• Sabato also uses various gadgets, such as a self-walking surveillance camera, mainly for spying.

Rinne Rokudo

Sabato’s one and only son. Despite being the cause of Rinne’s financial misery and often exploiting him for personal benefit, there are glimpses that he does care about Rinne’s well-being, such as fighting desperately to retrieve a sentimental photograph.

Tamako

Sabato’s mother and a respected shinigami. His tendency for reckless behavior and womanizing is shared, to a certain extent, with Tamako.

Shinigami and Others

Sabato is detested by many other shinigami, including Ageha, Kain, and others who see him as a threat or target for elimination. His reputation as an irresponsible villain is well known.

President of Damashinigami Company

Sabato operates as the head of a company that employs rogue shinigami to steal souls instead of sending them to their proper rest. Many of his underlings are truly villainous, though Sabato himself is portrayed more comically.

A Legacy of Debt and Scams

Sabato’s reckless spending habits and womanizing have burdened Rinne with crushing debt. He uses every opportunity to make Rinne his co-signer and even takes advantage of Rinne from infancy, such as making him sign promissory notes as a baby and seizing his elementary school gifts. He expects Rinne to become his successor and inherit not only the company but also its enormous debts.

Manipulating Love and Relationships

Upon learning that Sakura Mamiya is special to Rinne, Sabato uses Rinne’s money to buy an engagement ring, then tries to force them into marriage. His attempts almost always fail due to his selfish motives and incompetence at true sincerity.

Tools and Gadgets

Sabato wields various unique shinigami tools to support his schemes. His surveillance gadgets, such as autonomous video cameras, are used for spying but tend to malfunction humorously. His old shinigami scythe, poorly maintained and long neglected, breaks easily.

Signature Techniques

Sabato is notorious for his move called "Leaving One Blow," a tactical technique that weakens an evil spirit without fully sending it to rest. This allowed him to gain the attention of female shinigami by letting them deliver the final blow, creating an impression of kindness. During his school days, this technique supposedly landed him around 200 girlfriends at once.

• Sabato’s voice actor, Kappei Yamaguchi, is known for voicing other half-blood protagonists in Takahashi’s works, usually heroes, making Sabato a notable villainous exception.
• He is infamous within the story’s universe and is a common target of retribution from both protagonist and supporting characters due to his abysmal ethics.
• There is a recurring theme of characters being controlled or manipulated by their fathers in the "Rin-ne" universe, with Sabato being a prime example.
