Bakuman: Moritaka Mashiro [ISFP




Introverted Feeling (Fi): Mashiro is passionate about many things. Manga, his freedom as an artist, and of course his fiance Azuki. He keeps his strongest opinions to himself until he feels that they are threatened and then he defends them fiercely and explosively. His entire life is driven by a powerful need to stay true to himself by actualizing his dreams. Even though he was fourteen at the time Mashiro has little misgivings about proposing to Azuki and his love for her is wholesome, if a bit naive. However, he only sees her under extenuating circumstances, staying true to their mutual vow to not see each other other until Mashiro is a successful Manga artist. Mashiro will do almost anything to fight for what he believes in, even working himself hard enough to end up in the hospital. Once in the hospital, he still won't stop drawing, even when it could threaten his life.


Extroverted Sensing (Se): Most of Mashiro's Se is channeled into drawing, at which he excels. He is natural artist who's work far surpasses that of other artists his age. He reacts impulsively to anything that threatens his Fi convictions, taking huge risks when he sees something that will bring him closer to his dream.


Introverted Intuition (Ni): Mashiro has a strong and unwavering vision of the future, were he is a popular manga artist and can marry Azuki. He has very good instincts when it comes to manga and the direction that he and Tagaki should take. He trusts those instincts to be accurate and uses them to form his Fi convictions. While he leaves the writing to Tagaki, Mashiro envisions evocative character well enough to bring them to life in his art. 


Extroverted Thinking (Te): Mashiro's Fi/Ni has big plans, so he is forced to dig deep and use all of the tools at his disposal, especially his Te. He is pragmatic and critical when it comes to his work, tirelessly working to improve art that he is not satisfied with. He critiques Tagaki's ideas ruthlessly, unapologetically informing him of the flaws that could endanger their projects. Mashiro often sets his own deadlines and  would work into the night rather than fall behind. He keeps careful track of the time, as illustrated by his meticulously kept calendar that keeps him on schedule.
