Summary
Referred to as Ikki by his peers and nicknamed Babyface, Ikki is a free-spirited AT rider with a natural affinity for the sky. Orphaned and raised by the Noyamano family, he eventually establishes the Kogarasumaru team and takes on the Trophaeum. His chaotic nature is often symbolized by a small crow named Kū, which uses his hair as a nest, earning him comparisons to a crow. Ikki possesses a zany and eccentric personality, delighting in meat which is often rationed by his sisters. He is rash and impulsive, insisting on doing things his way. In combat, he shifts between his usual unpredictable craziness and a rare, intimidatingly cold demeanor. He is obsessed with Air Trekking, treating his ATs with meticulous care that even his sisters envy. His focus on Air Trekking is so intense that he initially missed Ringo’s affection during the Kyoto trip, being entirely consumed by deciphering the 'Windmill Theory' revealed by the Rumble King. A self-proclaimed genius proud of his fighting prowess, Ikki secretly trains relentlessly, as evidenced by the scars visible in his hidden training area in chapter 87. Despite his lowlife attitude and tendency for foolish antics, Ikki thinks beyond conventional limits and often shares deep philosophy that impacts others. During the Pomtemkin brothers' battle, his unconventional plan caused a rift in Kogarasumaru before revealing his hidden solution. Although he sometimes misses obvious signs, he is adept at spotting details, such as noticing how worn out Kazu’s ATs were in the first Parts War, indicating his own heavy practice. He is also developing a new skill, noticed by Kururu through the wear on his AT. When Ringo confessed her feelings as Croissant Mask during the Sleeping Forest and Genesis conflict, Ikki was shocked by his own obliviousness. This realization affected his concentration in their battle until he acknowledged her constant support. Recent chapters reveal this new technique is "Null Wind," which combines the power of Kogarasumaru’s major riders to create a wind storm that neutralizes Wing Road tricks, allowing him to defeat Sleipnir. His notable tricks include Spinning Wallride Overhang 1800°, UPPER SOUL 23Roll, Method Air to Spin That Grab Moonride, Backward Cross Ridefall Upper Fang "TWINCAM", Roof Gap To Disaster One Foot "Air line", and Moonstruck Numberless Grappler. He also utilizes Pile Tornado, which relies on "Vacuum Welding" to funnel air into a violent tornado. Ikki can ride the inner contours of this tornado, known as the Limited Express, to gain increased momentum.
