- You're... pretty cute.

Seijuro Mikoshiba (御子柴 清十郎 Mikoshiba Seijūrō) is one of the main supporting characters of the anime series Free!. He is the butterfly swimmer and was the captain on Samezuka Academy's swimming team until he graduated, giving away his position to Rin Matsuoka.

Appearance
Seijuro has slicked back, tousled, short, bright red hair and golden eyes. He has a darker complexion compared to others and is well-built from swimming and other exercises done at Samezuka Academy. He wears Samezuka Academy's black jacket most of the time. While swimming, he wears black swim briefs.

Personality
Seijuro is an enthusiastic person, and seems to be instantly attracted to cute girls, like Gou. This attraction goes as far that his room is full of Gou's photos, as Haruka, Makoto, Nagisa, Rei and Gou discovered then they went to visit Rin's room, but accidentally entered Seijuro's. Nagisa once stated that he had thought that Seijuro was only an enthusiastic person and that he hadn't been a good swimmer, however, this was proven wrong when Seijuro won 1st place on the swimming tournament.

Contrary to his happy-go-lucky personality when around things he likes and girls, Gou mainly, Seijuro is a strict, serious captain of a swimming team. Even though he's strict, he sometime tends to give comic reliefs in the show, such as when he told The Swimming Team that a fearsome new face will enter the club in April and started frantically laughing, making Rei wonder "what kind of villain is he supposed to be". He is said to defy logic, being able to swim 100 meters one hundred times, not loosing one single time.

History
A little is known about Seijuro's history, but it's known that he won swimming competitions in elementary school. However, he always placed second with Haruka always being first.
