[edit] Appearance
Physically, Kaito's brother is a effeminate-looking teenager with a slight build and shoulder-length, dark blue hair; specifically, he is 14 years old, 142 cm tall, weighs 38 kg and has bloodtype AB. His usual attire consists of a collar, black pants and black jacket with the Kogarasumaru emblem emblazoned on the back. He also carries straps with hooks that can be wound around his legs and used to bind enemies. Additionally:
- As Agito, he has amber feline eyes and fanged teeth.
- As Akito, he has normal black eyes and cross-dresses frequently.
- As Lind, he has Over-Cross Twinkle Eyes, spiky hair and fanged teeth.
[edit] History
At some point in the past, Kaito's brother was part of Professor Minami's Brain Charger project, which led to the creation of his first persona, Lind. After escaping from the lab facilities, Kaito took his brother - then under the Akito persona - under his wing, training him to be the Fang King. After realising the violence he was causing, Akito created Agito as a solution to his mental conflict. As Agito, he and Udō Akira were the star members of Wind G-Men until Akira quit, took his Fang Regalia and formed Behemoth. This betrayal shattered Agito, creating a deep mistrust of others that would not abate until he joined Kogarasumaru.
As Kogarasumaru's strongest member, Agito was responsible for triggering its meteoric rise by engineering a D-Class Cube match against Behemoth. The resulting victory established Kogarasumaru's position in the A.T. world, and Agito reclaimed the Fang Regalia from Akira. In subsequent battles, his physical limitations become evident, and he begins to harbour doubts in his ability. They are eventually overcome when triggered by Lind's awakening, Agito perfects his signature move. Against Inorganic Net, Agito unleashes the full power of the Fang Regalia for the first time after being tuned by Yayoi Nakayama. Currently, he is engaged with another product of the Brain Charger project, Sleipnir's Thor.
[edit] Personalities
Kaito's brother has 3 personas who refer to each other as brothers. They are listed in order of dominance and inverse order of seniority.
[edit] Agito
The youngest and dominant persona, Agito was created by Akito to cope with the mental stress created by his pacifist nature and responsibilites as Fang King. As such, his strength is derived from his desire to protect Akito. His devotion to Akito is shown in his match against Akira Udou, where he nearly sacrifices himself, believing himself to be the cause of his physical deterioration. Otherwise, he is aloof and foul-mouthed character (his most-oft used phrase is "FUCK!!"); despite this, he is nonetheless a valuable asset to Kogarasumaru. However, he is somewhat immature when it comes to romance, and is completely oblivious to Nakayama's infatuation with him.
[edit] Akito
The dominant personality prior to Agito's creation, Akito is Agito's polar opposite in almost every aspect. Timid and gentle, he was trained by Kaito to be the Fang King, and is referred to as his 'pet'. Nonetheless, he is even more frightening than Agito when angered. Feminine both in behaviour and appearance, he makes no secret of his infatuation with Ikki. For unknown reasons, he is terrified of the Trophaeum Tower.
[edit] Lind
The last persona to appear in the series (but the first chronologically), Lind is the 'First Personality' of the body and is actually a copy of Kaito's personality. He is metaphorically referred to as the "Seed of Judas", planted within Kogarasumaru to sabotage them. When his persona was grafted on, Lind's consciousness was too much for his body to handle; Akito, and by extension Agito were created from the resulting mental turmoil, while he went into hibernation, awaiting his body's maturation. He is Brain Charger No. 0 and prototype for Sleipnir, making him their senior. Ruthless, sadisdic and disdainful, Lind regards his other personas as 'babies', and has a playboy attitude towards women.
[edit] Abilities and A·T
All 3 of the personas are King-Level Bloody Road riders in their own right, and share the shadow Leviathan, which appears as an elongated, multifinned shark. Nonetheless, there are distinct differences in their abilities:
- The current Fang King, Agito ranks among the top riders of the A.T. world, and is the strongest and most experienced member of Kogarasumaru. In combat, he is exceptionally collected and focussed, possessing keen instincts and analytic acumen. This, combined with his ability to perform moves after having seen them just once, has earned him the moniker of Genius Fighter. His inital R.E.A.D level is 88, which rises to 99 in his duel with Akira; currently, it stands as 122.
- Akito, a former Fang King, is actually even stronger than Agito; however, he refuses to ride A.T. due to his pacifist nature. Nonetheless, he is able to fight indirectly through Agito by lending him strength, boosting his capabilities significantly. Akito was also Agito's tuner prior to Nakayama's 'awakening', although he could not fully realise Agito's full potential because he lacked the ability to sense biorhythms.
- As a Brain Charger, Lind displays inhuman skill with A·T. In his only appearance to date, he easily dominates an opponent that Agito/Akito combined could not even put a scratch on.
His A.T. is named Sand Tiger, which has a bladed ridge on its vamp and serrated wheels. The Fang Regalia's core, Bloody Armor, is installed in its wheels. Initially, Akito was only able to bring out 24% of Bloody Armor's total power; when appropriately tuned and deployed, Sand Tiger's front wheel guards jut out to resemble a shark's fin, and the wheels split along their serrations into a sawblade configuration.
[edit] Tricks
AGITO Ride fall Bloody roll, soul 1800° - A brutal move that twists the opponent's body as Agito "rolls" the opponent from all sides, its distinctive 'finisher' is a spurting spiral of blood. [1]
Backward Cross Ridefall Upper Fang "TWINCAM" - A tag-team move used by Minami Itsuki and Agito. Ikki executes a 360 degree spin while holding Agito, who then executes a flying hook kick using the resulting momentum.[2]
Fang Grind - A tag-team move where Ikki 'grinds' one of Agito's Fangs, simultaneously increasing the lethality of the Fang and the distance Ikki travels.[3]
AGITO Bloody fang Ride fall "Leviathan" Akito's signature trick, it is the basic 'Fang' attack. Agito is able to perform it without Bloody Armor, a spectacular feat in and of itself.[4]
Geigers Cross - Originally Udō Akira's technique, Agito has also used it. It is a pair of fangs fired in a cross-shaped configuration. [5]
Cage of Fangs - Originally Udō Akira's technique, Agito has also used it. As its name implies, it is a criss-crossing collection of Fangs which converge upon the opponent. [6]
Bloody Fang: Infinity Jail - Lind's signature trick, it invokes the Infinity Atmosphere of the Bloody Road to create a ball of Fangs, resembling Akito's cage, that encloses the opponent. It is essentially a refined, more elegant version of the "Cage of Fangs", as the 'Jail' can be imploded at the user's will.[7]
AGITO Bloody Blade Fang - Agito's signature trick, it is essentially an evolved form of the Leviathan Fang developed as an answer to his weak stamina. It takes the appearance of an oversized Fang with ribbed protrusions.[8]
- Agito & Akito & Kazuma Grand Fang Fire Bird - Agito creats a giant fang while Kazuma sets it a blaze with flames making it easly capabile of taking down a plane.
[edit] Trivia
- Female doctors and nurses love him, but it freaks him out. He also finds giant boobs to be unnecessary.
- Agito is shown to be very weak while sleeping, which is a running gag in the series.
- He has wind chimes hanging from his ceiling made of A-T parts.
