My Time at Portia Wiki

Sanwa
The 3rd of the Hulu brothers, Sanwa arrived at Portia when the brothers came with their grandmother. Due to his skills with scissors, he opened up a barbershop in Portia. The word on the street is that whatever hair style the customer wants, Sanwa can make it happen.

Sanwa is a resident of Portia that the player can befriend and eventually marry.

Profile[]

Personal summary[]

Sanwa was born on Autumn of Day 15 and is the third of the Hulu Brothers. At some point, Sanwa, his brothers, and his grandmother, Yeye, moved to Portia. Despite being colorblind, Sanwa is renowned for his skills with the scissors learning to style hair after visiting Walnut Groove. Sanwa became adept in hairstyling within 10 years. After competing in the local hairstyling competition, many of the citizens mocked his colorblindness, even accidentally dyeing Remington's hair green at one point. This caused Sanwa to stop pursuing his career as a barber. However, he was given Color-blind Correction Glasses to help with his condition; as a result, he reopened his barbershop once more.

Sanwa loves to eat vegetarian foods, such as Fruit Salad and Vegetable Salad. Sanwa dislikes eating hot pot during the Winter Solstice and on dinner dates due to the spiciness of the dish. He once believed a friend who told him that the hot pot was not spicy, only to strain the relationship between the two. Sanwa also dislikes the texture of noodles, regardless of how it looked and smelled.

Physical appearance[]

Sanwa, like all of his brothers, is a rather rotund man. He has short, dark hair under an yellow bucket hat with a orange headband. (After the player gives them to him), he wears glasses with blue and green frames and he has a full beard. He wears his yellow sweater vest emblazoned with the trademark calabash gourd and Hulu name over the top of a white short-sleeved shirt with red stripes on the sleeve. His red shorts are patterned with yellow hearts, and he has pink shoes on over his yellow socks.

Related characters[]

Sanwa has lots of family members in Portia, including his grandmother, Yeye; his older brothers, Dawa and Erwa; and his younger brothers, Siwa, Wuwa, Liuwa, and Qiwa.

Social talk Chat[]

Dialogue

Chat is a basic social interaction available at any relationship level. Chatting with Sanwa once a day can increase his relationship by 1 point, or 2 points with the Smooth Talk skill; subsequent chatting, on the same day, only results in the same conversation without any relationship gain.

Sanwa's dialogue may change every day and every season. Sanwa may also comment about certain events or missions. Higher relationship levels, including romantic involvement, also change Sanwa's dialogue.

Social play Play[]

Once the player has become buddies with Sanwa, they can schedule a play date together.

Social date Date[]

After the player has successfully confessed how they feel to Sanwa, the player can schedule a romantic date with Sanwa.

Social Dine Dine[]

If the player chooses to dine at The Round Table with Sanwa during a play date or date, it is recommended to order dishes he will like. If asked before ordering, Sanwa will sometimes tell the player exactly which dishes to order; other times, he will just give little hints. In the event that Sanwa does not specify the exact foods desired, the player should order between three and six dishes, depending on what hint he gives. It is recommended to order each of those dishes from different courses, ex. ordering one Appetizer, Meat, Vegetable, Dessert, and Drink course each, rather than five Desserts.

Sanwa's food preferences are listed below. The player is advised to use these preferences only when Sanwa does not tell the player what to order. If Sanwa tells the player a list of dishes to order or gives a hint, it is advised to follow his wishes instead. The full restaurant menu can be found at The Round Table page.

Such visits will earn the player relationship points each time, with the amount dependent upon the relic.
