Let’s talk about Mitsuba Sousuke for a moment — he’s one of the most talked-about characters in Toilet-bound Hanako-kun (also known as Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun). Right from the start, Mitsuba Sousuke stands out, not just because of his striking looks but also because of his complicated personality. He’s a ghost who used to be a student at Kamome Academy, and tragically died in a car accident, which left him bound to the school as a spirit. Since then, Mitsuba Sousuke has been wandering the halls, stuck between worlds, trying to find his place.

Now, if you ask anyone at Kamome Academy about him, they’ll probably roll their eyes and call him “the most disliked ghost.” And honestly? It’s not entirely unfair. At first glance, Mitsuba Sousuke comes across as arrogant, self-centered, and more than a little full of himself. He’s always dressed in his crisp school uniform, which, let’s be honest, does suit his handsome, chiseled features and muscular build. But despite how good he looks, his attitude tends to push people away — or rather, ghosts, since we’re dealing with the supernatural here.

But here’s the thing: Mitsuba Sousuke isn’t just a one-dimensional jerk. As the series goes on, you start seeing cracks in that tough exterior. He genuinely wants to connect with others, even if he doesn’t go about it the right way. You catch glimpses of vulnerability, moments where he actually cares — maybe more than he’d ever admit. His journey is all about growth. From being someone who only thinks about himself, Mitsuba Sousuke slowly begins to value friendships and learns how to show empathy. It’s subtle, but it’s there.

And honestly, that’s part of what makes Mitsuba Sousuke so compelling. He’s tragic, yes, but also kind of funny in a sarcastic, dry way. Fans love him not despite his flaws, but because of them. He feels real — well, as real as a ghost in an anime can feel. Over time, Mitsuba Sousuke transforms from the guy everyone loves to hate into someone you can’t help but root for.

So what’s behind this complex character? Well, if we look at personality types, Mitsuba Sousuke fits the ESFJ mold pretty well — that’s Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging, for those keeping score. He’s definitely outgoing, always inserting himself into social circles, trying to be seen and acknowledged. He picks up on emotions quickly, showing a surprising level of emotional intelligence, even if he hides it behind snark. Mitsuba Sousuke clearly values harmony and connection, even if his methods are clumsy.

He also likes structure — another ESFJ trait. There’s a sense of order in how he carries himself, how he expects things to be done a certain way. Rules matter to him, maybe because they give him a sense of control in a life that’s otherwise chaotic and unresolved.

Then there’s the Enneagram angle. Mitsuba Sousuke lines up strongly with Type 3 — the Achiever. This type thrives on success, recognition, and admiration. And yeah, that’s Mitsuba Sousuke to a T. He craves validation, wants to be the best, and puts on a confident front to mask deeper insecurities. But when things don’t go his way, that mask slips. You see the fear underneath — fear of failure, fear of being rejected or forgotten. That’s when he lashes out, defensive and sharp-tongued. It’s not pretty, but it’s human.

Of course, personality types aren’t set in stone. People — and ghosts — are messy. Mitsuba Sousuke might show traits from other types, but overall, the Achiever label fits. He’s driven, image-conscious, and deeply affected by how others perceive him.

In the end, Mitsuba Sousuke is far more than just the arrogant ghost with a pretty face. His arc is one of the most nuanced in Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, blending humor, heartbreak, and personal growth. Whether you love him or used to hate him, there’s no denying that Mitsuba Sousuke leaves a lasting impression. He’s flawed, he’s trying, and slowly but surely, he becomes someone worth knowing. And that’s why Mitsuba Sousuke remains such a memorable figure in the world of anime.
