He holds a face that could be considered handsome, but no girls at school has so far praised him for his looks. <p style="margin-top: 10.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 2.4pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 17.25pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(71, 70, 70); border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0cm; padding-right: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">'''Backstory ''' According to the records, Kou is a normal kid as any other, with a slight few tweaks. He had lived together with his parents to the age of eight, but upon their divorce he came to live together with his uncle for a while. Thereafter, Kou grew up living with his uncle and living a normal life there until finally he ended up living by himself in the dorm of Kamachi School.

Of course, this is a complete lie. As Kashou knows, Kou has spent at least the last eight years of his life training to be a saint of the Organization. Known and called by the name of Saint William, Kou commands formidable strength in the battle against Aether's.

His true backstory is unknown, at this moment. All attempts to approach it will have been remorselessly avoided and ignored. No doubt would Kashou have known had she had Walle thinking out a strategy to make Kou talk in the past, but now she didn't. And so Kou's past remains a unknown mist. <p style="margin-top: 10.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 2.4pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 17.25pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(71, 70, 70); border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0cm; padding-right: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">'''Adventures ''' Kou first appeared by Kashou's side as vice of the Student Council. He read notes and wrote paper-work for the Council.

This then resulted in Kou becoming captured, and used as a mental hostage against Kashou, as she was cornered by a group of Ravantanians. However, Kou managed to free himself and show up. Seeing Kashou once again free of constraints, the Ravantanians quickly withdrawed. Kashou, having been wounded earlier in the fight, fainted but was picked up by Kou. Kou then led Rodney Oshiro and Azusa Janako, two other people who had been present during the fight.

Misinterpreting this as a violent provoction, Rodney punched him. This, however, was simply a bad choice of words on Kou's part. Here Kou introduces himself, and reveals his identity as partner of Kashou and member of the Aether fighting Organization.

Following on Kashou's plans, he joined in on the Friday Showdown and was present during the formation of the Aether Club. He hanged around either Kashou or the club since. Until...

In fact, Kou was the one who dragged Kozu and Tsukada Risami with the party, radically changing the lives of both people. While there Kou proved to have the transformation of a Wolf Anikind.

He has also shown ability to keep cool and make decisions that others would question before they see his logic. Kou also somewhy knows the techniques of playing a violin.

As an Aether Hunter, Kou needed a power with an impact. So to say, Kou holds the power to create an explosive matter directly from his body or his armor. His armor includes a pike, and he is able to create it from there too. When covered in it, Kou is capable of letting out explosions with varying purposes. They can be used for breaking walls as well as for propulsion, and few can resists the pure power in his explosion pike attack. That said, unfortunately, Kou is not the most agile or focused person ever, and tends to do bad things during combat, such as missing at vital times or simply being clumsy.

The longer the sunlight is shining on the wolf, the more power is being stored. The stored energy can then be used for beams, boosting of physical attributes and self-healing. After having used it for any of these, Kou will be forced to charge up more sunlight in order to use more powers. It is unknown exactly how Kou uses the energy within him, as when Cilantro Oshiro tried to use his powers while transformed the only energy he produced was an unhealthy dose of heat. It is easy to see how charged the wolf is. The more golden it is, the more energy it contains. The more like a real grey wolf he looks, the less energy is stored. <p style="margin-top: 10.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 2.4pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 17.25pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(71, 70, 70); border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0cm; padding-right: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">'''<span style="font-size:13.5pt; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; color:#D5D4D4">Personality ''' <p style="margin-top: 4.8pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 17.25pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(71, 70, 70); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#D5D4D4;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">A usually calm person, Kou is used to taking care of the debris left behind his President. He is a thoughtful and careful person, often acting through sharp, well reflected decisions made in the blink of an eye. However, this demeanor falls when he becomes agitated. When stressed, Kou can show a rough, very blunt side of himself that might come across as a rash, short-tempered person who acts on impulse. Though don't worry. It is still Kou, straight through. This change usually comes when someone he cares about comes into danger. <p style="margin-top: 10.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 2.4pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 17.25pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(71, 70, 70); border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0cm; padding-right: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">'''<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:#D5D4D4;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Quotes ''' <p style="margin-top: 4.8pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 17.25pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(71, 70, 70); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#D5D4D4;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">(May come later) <p style="margin-top: 10.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 2.4pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 17.25pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(71, 70, 70); border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0cm; padding-right: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">'''<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:#D5D4D4;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Trivia ''' <p style="margin-top: 4.8pt; line-height: 17.25pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(71, 70, 70); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#D5D4D4; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">(May come later)
