MAJOR SPOILER--------------------------------------------------------------Fukubei is friend, Sadakiyo is friend's friend (lol, you will get it if you read the manga). There's someone who replaced Sadakiyo during the childhood time and replaced Fukubei after he died. That will be Katsumata.OMG, MAJOR SPOILER!

Does anyone know if the manga is released in the US yet? I want to buy it to support the author.

You are right of course. He is mentioned a couple of times and actually it's quite fitting when all is said and done. It really shows that during childhood, someone can go completely unnoticed. It's also fitting how the rumor about Sadakiyo also applied to him. He was more of a copy of Sadakiyo than Friend when it came down to it.

If you really paid attention to every detail, you kind of know who he is. His name was mentioned once or twice in 20th Century Boys during the random flashbacks to Kenji and groups' childhood.
