Mantaro is born as the long-awaited heir to a wealthy sake brewer, Mineya. He loved plants and had a cheerful disposition, but he was a frail child. His mother, Hisa, died of illness when he was very young, and he was raised by his grandmother, Taki. Taki wanted to raise Mantaro as a respectable boy, the heir to a prominent family, and enrolled him in Meikyokan, an academy for children of samurai families, but he did not fit in with the children of samurai families and refused to go to school. However, he did not fit in with the samurai children and refused to go to school. However, Ikeda Ranko, the head of the school, taught him about the mysterious ecology of plants, and he learned the joys of learning. Later, Mineya's sake was to be exhibited at an exposition to be held in Tokyo, and the 18-year-old Mantaro, as the head of the family, accompanied Takeo to the flower capital of Tokyo. At the exposition, he had a fateful encounter with Jueko, a confectioner's daughter, and visited Noda and Satonaka, botanists whom he had admired since he was a child, and was greatly inspired. Mantaro returned to Kochi and promised to give up his botanical research and live as the owner of Mineya, but he met John Manjiro who told him, "Life is short, don't regret it," and he told Taki of his desire to devote himself to the botany field. Aoi Miyazaki's name is officially called Tatasaki ( ).
