Profile
Sesame is easily frightened and introverted, but also tends to be very curious, so much so he often gets into trouble for it. Not many people trust Sesame due to his irresponsibility, which seems to discourage him. His hobby is catching bugs, and his favorite food is toast with ogura, a type of red bean jam.[3]
Sesame's hair is blonde with straight bangs that partially cover his eyes, which are teal. He wears a big gray hoodie that covers most of his body, and sports a brown backpack filled with bugs, rolled-up test papers, dirty socks, and leftover food.[4] He wears his hood up all year round, since it acts as a sound amplifier that helps him hear the buzzing of insects.[5] He also wears a pair of pale green sneakers.

Biography
Early life
Sesame was always obsessed with bugs, and would grab caterpillars and moths with his bare hands. Because he always carried living and dead bugs in his pockets, he earned a bad reputation among the female students at Will-o'-Wisp Academy. His room's walls were also piled up with beetles and caterpillars in glass jars. After getting into an argument with a friend one day, Sesame poured a bucket of dung beetles in his classroom as payback. This caused the students to panic and class was cancelled for the rest of the day. On other occasions, he lead a procession of ants into the academy, and even peeled back the chrysalis of a swallowtail butterfly that was raised in his class. His parents have gone to the academy to after each incident to apologize.[2]
Magical Vacation
Before the students left for Valencia Beach, Sesame and Kirsch talked with the protagonist and Pistachio about their upcoming trip to Valencia Beach. When Candy, Lemon, and Blueberry joined their conversation, Sesame told an elated Kirsch that he could ask Candy out during their stay. Kirsch, however, grew frustrated after Candy assumed he would confess to Arancia, so he left for the magic bus in a huff while Sesame followed. On the ride to the beach, Sesame nearly revealed Kirsch's crush on Candy, but was quickly silenced.
Later that evening, Sesame explored the beach and came across a boulder lodged in a rocky arch, catching a glimpse of a cavern on the other side. He invited the protagonist to join him, and they gathered more classmates before kicking the boulder away. Exploring the other side of the arch, Sesame and the others found Ganache and Olive standing outside the cavern. Sesame ordered them to leave, proclaiming he saw it first, to which Ganache warned Sesame of what might be inside, then left with Olive. Exploring the eerie cavern, the students came across a treasure chest left by pirates. Unfortunately, the chest contained nothing but a poptail and pinecones, to Sesame's dismay. The group left the cavern at dusk, returning to the beach cabins for a bonfire. Sesame fled to the cavern afterwards in search of bugs, until suddenly, creatures called enigmas emerged from a vortex where the treasure chest was located. Luckily, he managed to stay hidden from them, while his classmates were warped to another plane of existence called the Light Plane. The protagonist, having survived the abduction, went to the cavern and reunited with Sesame. Sensing a strange energy from the nearby vortex, the protagonist stepped inside while Sesame announced he would stay behind. He insulted the protagonist once they warped off to the Light Plane, but an enigma jumped in and abducted him.
After the protagonist, Blueberry, Lemon, and Pêche cleared Rēmittsu Palace, they spotted Sesame running around Ibense Crag, enamored by rare bugs. The party was about to pass through the quarry to Pipplestown, when they heard Sesame shriek in the distance. Running back to investigate, it turned out Sesame had bumped into a putty, and got scared because he did not know putties could speak. Once the putty left for Pipplestown, Sesame resumed his hunt for bugs. However, just as the party returned after rescuing Café au Lait, an enigma enigma abducted Sesame under Equillekrew's orders to bring all the students to the Dark Plane. Sesame ended up in the Enigma Forest, trying his best to hide while the party looked for a way to chase after their remaining classmates. Luckily, Sesame was safely brought to Tapiocatea Village by Musk, who hired him to seek out dodos with his pet Fennel, hoping to use their blood to treat his sister Cocoa's sickness. The party would later venture to Riginio Jungle where Nectar had created a sanctuary for dodos, as his twin brother had been transformed into one by an enigma. Suddenly, Sesame stormed in with Musk's Fennel and ordered it to kill the dodos, to which the party put the Fennel down in order to keep them safe. Musk apologized to Nectar for the incident, unaware dodos were really people put under curses that took one thousand years to wear off. As for Sesame, he was enraged over how his classmates never seemed to care for him, though Cidre said everything that happened to Sesame was of his own doing, since he paid more attention to bugs than his surroundings. Sesame proceeded to flee Riginio Jungle, vowing to defeat his classmates by fusing with an enigma.
The party chased Sesame through Enigma Forest, where he approached Rad Hasnel and offered his heart for fusion. He admitted to his friends that everything was his fault, from the students' abduction, to getting distracted by bugs, to being Musk's lackey. With all those weighing on his conscience, Sesame found it better to fuse with an enigma than continue to be his careless self. Cidre, on the other hand, told Sesame how fusion would not resolve his issues, and that he was not expected to see eye-to-eye with his classmates. This helped Sesame realize that it was not power he was after, but rather, he sought independence, and so joined the party to fight Rad Hasnel. Afterwards, he bragged to the others that by convincing him to not fuse with an enigma, he essentially saved the world from destruction. Sesame then told his classmates that Treeman Colony and Kugande Village were beyond Enigma Forest, confident they could learn where Chocolat, Ganache, Candy, Olive, and Cabernet had gone.
As their journey progressed, Sesame and the other students eventually rescued Olive and Cabernet. Ganache and Candy departed for the Death Plane in search of the enigma king Kerurendu, whom Ganache planned on fusing with in order to save his sister Vanilla from imprisonment for succumbing to an enigma's power. Reaching Moginasu Magic Grotto after rescuing Candy, the students and Miss Madeleine saw Ganache confront Kerurendu, each explaining why he should not perform fusion. In Sesame's case, he knew Ganache and Vanilla were both strong enough to destroy the world. Despite Madeleine and Principal Biscotti knowing that as well, they hardly intervened in the students' affairs, which Sesame found shocking since no one ever trusted him that much with anything before. He found independence because people had faith in him, and wished for Ganache to decide for himself, too. Surely enough, the students were able to defeat Kerurendu in the Hall of Rebirth, putting an end to his cycle of reincarnation. The students and Madeleine warped back to the magic bus now that their journey was over, all except for Sesame. He stayed behind, proudly declaring himself the strongest in the universe for having defeated the strongest monster. In the midst of his celebration, Madeleine came back to into the grotto and warped him to rest of the class.
After Magical Vacation
Sesame became a renowned ancient technology researcher and published several papers on the subject. He also ran Café au Lait under all kinds of modifications,[6] the last of which was a rocket, and launched him into outer space from Valencia Beach.
Trivia
- Sesame is very similar to Kale, the main antagonist of Magical Starsign. Kale has the power to summon magic bugs, as seen in his insect bullets spell and the creation of the odd beetle. Sesame and Kale even share similar traits such as blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, and a moustache (as seen in Sesame's ending).
Nomenclature
His name comes from sesame, a type of edible seed.
