The Man of Many Faces (20面相におねがい!! 20 Mensō ni Onegai!!?) is a manga by Clamp about a nine year old boy named Akira Ijyuin (Ijuin Akira) who steals beautiful and valuable objects to please his twin mothers and is known to the public as the dashing, clever thief named Man of 20 Faces.
While he is a master of disguise and an expert thief, nothing prepares him for his first meeting with the heartbroken Utako Ohkawa. The two fall in love, but what is Akira to do about his secret job?
This is one of Clamp's earliest original works and is a prequel to Clamp School Detectives. Akira, one of the protagonists, also makes a cameo in Duklyon: Clamp School Defenders, X/1999 (X), and the video Clamp in Wonderland. Though never animated, it did spawn a drama cd with both music and radio play. Akira also appears as Man of Many Faces in an episode of the Clamp School Detectives anime. The manga is published in English by TOKYOPOP retaining its right to left format, though it is now out of print. Part of the storyline happens coexistantly with the storyline of Clamp School Detectives, as seen in a conversation with Nokoru and Suoh that also takes place in Clamp School Detectives.
