Hayato

Hayato (ハヤト) is a supporting character of The Promised Neverland. Hayato, along with his teammate Jin, are allies with "William Minerva", whom they greatly admire.

History
Hayato was a test subject at Λ7214, which is where he gained his unusual abilities. At some point in 2046, Norman destroyed the facility and rescued all the children within, Hayato included. Thereafter, he was brought to the Paradise Hideout like everyone else, developed deep respect towards his savior, and began working under him.

King of Paradise Arc
Hayato is first seen struggling against a demon with Jin. Emma and Ray rescue them but are suspicious of them. Hayato gets on his knees and while crying, thanking them for saving his life. Then after seeing Emma's number, he informs the group that they were sent by William Minerva, who was worried about them after hearing about the raid on the shelter to find out if they were alright. He reveals that Minerva had saved them from a farm (Possibly the same experimental plant Adam was from) and tells them that they'll lead the way back to their base.

However, Chris' condition suddenly worsens luckily Hayato knows a way to sneak into a nearby farm to steal some medicine. He then goes with Ray, Emma, and Anna to retrieve the medicine. After sneaking in but almost immediately getting spotted Hayato helps Ray run the demons around while Emma and Anna get the medicine. He's next seen after Zazie saves Emma from demons telling Zazie to not attack Emma since she's their friend. He then explains that Zazie must have come because he and Jin took too long.
