Itsuki Minami

Height: 167cm Team: Kogarasumaru Road: Wing Road Status: Sky King candidate Known as Ikki ? by his friends and also known as Babyface is a free spirited AT rider that has a natural affiliation for being in the sky. He is introduced to ATs by Noyamano family whom he lives with due to his parents deaths. He eventually forms Kogarasumaru and takes on the Trophaeum. Ikki is often characterized as a crow due to a small crow K using his hair as a nest. Ikki is able to see the Wing Road and his peers often consider him to be the best candidate to become the next Sky King. He possesses two passive traits known as Hawk Eye and Trick Pass which allow him to easily survey an area and utilize any part of it. Both are considered attributes necessary for a candidate to be Sky King. He trains under Sora to better utilize the wind and he eventually obtains the incomplete Wind Regalia. He is able to use it to move quickly and fly though he is unable to properly use its destructive power. The regalia is stolen by Sora and Nike who are revealed to be antagonists harboring a grudge against Sleeping Forest. This leaves Ikki despondent and depressed until Kazu reveals a message left behind by Spitfire after his death. Spitfire questions if Ikki has really lost his wings which leads to Ikki to be proclaimed the Storm King of the Hurricane Road by his Principal in Chapter 169. His tuner Kururu Sumeragi promises that she will complete a new regalia for him. Recently the Gram Scale Tournament has begun but it was revealed that Ikki failed to submit the final registration. It is later revealed that Kazu has found a way to gain them entry into the Grand Scale Tournament by challenging Falco the former Fang King and a member of the original Sleeping Forest. After defeating Falcos team which was in fact a computerized version of the first Sleeping Forest Kogarasumaru was awarded Falcos eternal seed and entered the Gram Scale Tournament. Ikki is a very upbeat zany person who seemingly is as eccentric as just about everyone else in the universe of Air Gear. He delights in eating meat a privilege he is often deprived of in the Noyamano household by his sisters. He is rash impulsive and determined to do everything his way whether for good or bad. In battle he either comes off as his odinary crazy and unpredictable personality or his more serious cold and steely side which other characters has described as a rare occurrence and as an intimidating scene. Ikki is totally hooked onto Air Trekking. He treats his ATs with care to such a standard that even his sisters feel jealous of and his mind is constantly on Air Trekking for example during the Kyoto trip he fails to notice Ringos affection initially deadset on figuring out a Windmill Theory that another Storm Rider has revealed to him as the secret behind the Rumble King. Ikki is a selfproclaimed genius and very proud of himself in particular his fighting abilities. In truth he works very hard behind the others back as is revealed when Kuu brings his friends to his secret training area where the scars left over by his training could be seen in chapter 87. Though his attitude can be described as a lowlife suitable for his gangsterlike persona and though he likes to go around doing insanely foolish things all the time Ikki has a tendency to think beyond others perceivable concept and at several intervals can spout deep philosophy that more often than not will impact others. One such incident was the Pomtemkin brothers battle where Ikkis plan caused an initial falling out among the Kogarasumaru where in fact he had his own solution around that matter. Ikki though easy to miss the obvious can be very adept when it comes to spotting small details. In their first Parts War he alone had noticed that Kazus ATs were the most worn out among them a mark of how much he practiced. He is noticed to be developing a new skill as Kururu noticed that his AT was worn out. The day came for the Sleeping Forest and the Genesis to fight Ringo went to the place where Ikki and his gang stayed and revealed her true feelings for Ikki while dressed as Croissant Mask. He was shocked and realizes that he is an idiot for not noticing Ringos love. Ikki thinks deeply and even in their battle he cant concentrate and then he realizes that Ringo was always there for him. In recent chapters its revealed that the trick Ikki was developing was called Null Wind. It combines the power of all the major riders of Kogarasumaru and creates a storm of wind around Ikki that stops all wing road riders tricks. With this Ikki is able to win his battle against Sleipnir.
