Akira Nikaido

Driven by an impatient and rebellious nature, this brilliant student frequently skips classes, yet consistently maintains a top academic ranking. Though seemingly a member of the royal light lineage, he is actually Ryuko’s true successor. While his shadow form features striking black hair and red eyes, maintaining his human state requires external assistance. Initially wielding simple daggers, his combat prowess grows alongside his evolving weaponry as he struggles to reclaim lost memories of his former kingly power.
