[[quoteright:158:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/itaru_full.png]]

A mysterious foreigner who joins the Mankai Company after seeing their street act. Citron is the moodmaker of the Spring Troupe due to his jocular nature helped by his many linguistic flubs and jokes at the expense of his country's cultural customs.

At times, it is said that he has a bearing of nobility...

[[quoteright:166:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chikage_fullbody.png]]
A mysterious man who appears in the Winter Troupe's second and third stage play stories. Chikage is Itaru's senior at work, and expresses an interest in joining the Spring Troupe as an actor when the opportunity is presented to him by Itaru. He is a competent actor, but lacks emotional range and an understanding of character relationships due to his own walls imposed around himself. In addition to his closed off nature, he has an unknown connection with Hisoka's forgotten past.

* [[spoiler: IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Tying into his character development, his MANKAI Glitter card and the event ''Magicians' Pure Love'' has Masumi learn this. He grows to accept unrequited love. He still wants to win over Izumi, but also accepts that Izumi should be the one to choose whom she loves.]]

* [[spoiler: AnnoyingYoungerSibling: He was a prince and Guy was his attendant, but their relationship comes off as a downplayed example of this. Citron enjoys calling Guy names such as "dense", poking at his "on/off switch", and ordering him around even after he is no longer officially his attendant. Although, Guy doesn't really mind, and Citron still cares for him despite his antics and name-calling.]]

* [[spoiler: WorldTour: He was supposed to be on one of these, but stayed in Japan because he fell in love with it and the Mankai Company. He wanted it to be his last act of defiance before the crowning ceremony.]]

* [[spoiler: EasilyForgiven: The company was suspicious of Chikage's intentions, and knew that he kidnapped Izumi, but Izumi choose to lie to cover Chikage's mistake. The director is a known bad actor who cannot lie convincingly, therefore the company knows that it is an act of kindness to forgive and accept Chikage. ]]

* [[spoiler: FriendshipTrinket: In the past August, Hisoka, and Chikage wore the same rings to symbolize their bond. Chikage is the only one that still wears his ring.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Mukokuseki}}: Wherever Chikage and Hisoka were originally from, it's not Japan, but both can pass as Japanese.]]

* RealMenHateSugar: [[spoiler: His lack of a sweet tooth in contrast to Hisoka, and August was/is still made fun of.]] Woe is Chikage every Valentine's Day where his popularity leads to him receiving armfuls of chocolates.

* NotSoDifferentRemark:[[spoiler: Sakuya confided in Chikage that the loss of his biological parents, and constant shuffling around various biological relatives left him without a place he could truly call home.
