Kazuki Aoyama

Gender - Male Birthday - May 18th Height - 174 cm Weight - 57 kg Clans - Minato (Former) Chieda (Former) Tribe of Scraps (Current)

a mysterious figure who suddenly appears out of nowhere and demands to be admitted to Minato's clan team.

His left arm is bandaged, and it seems he won't be used much on the field, but for some reason he knows a lot about XB gameplay and the ray bat. Witty, he leads Minato's tribe to victory. He seems to have some goal in approaching Minato's tribe, but what could it be?

The guy has blue hair and blue eyes. Kazuki is wearing a dark blue suit with a black t-shirt featuring white patterns, and a black glove on his left hand. He's wearing tall black boots.

A former member of the Minato tribe, he founded the Trash Tribe as a force of rebellion against Zero. While he can be quite unbearable, his intelligence and cunning cannot be denied.

Kazuki is tactless and often tells others exactly what he thinks of them.

In the end, he leaves his friends in the Minato tribe at the end of the anime to help the now reformed Ojiro start over. Naturally, his appearance in the game shows that he eventually founded Trash Tribe with Q after Zero's arrival, and he is still a very valuable member of the Minato tribe.

While Tenshin Ohtori broke his left arm to prevent him from ever playing XB again, Kazuki manages to recover enough to use it to fight Ojiro in the battle with Chiodo, though his arm is still severely injured. Although he seems to be able to use it perfectly normally by the present day in the game, he still wears a glove and a strap on his left arm, indicating that he may still feel at least some effects of his old injury.

While Kazuki is unparalleled in interrupting enemy actions and can protect allies with his shields, he needs to spend stacks of [Memory] to use these incredible tools, and he only has a limited number at the start of a fight. If the battle drags on too long and he runs out of [Memory], his effectiveness drops sharply, and while he can recover his stacks using his Ultimate, this comes at the cost of potentially preventing another ally from using their Ultimate. His third Transcendence upgrade helps mitigate this somewhat, granting him a stack of [Memory] for every 20 hits he lands.

It turns out that he was taken from an orphanage along with Ojiro and subjected to brutal training to become Tenshin Oitori's secret weapon in the XB games, but Tenshin considered him a worthless loser before Ojiro broke his arm and kicked him out.

Almost every word that comes out of his mouth is some form of snark.

He wields a pair of dual blades, called the Venomous Serpent in battle, which were actually made from an XB bat. They can also be combined to become a double-bladed weapon.

He never stopped caring about Ojiro even after everything he did, and dedicated himself to doing everything possible to save his best friend from himself.

He often likes to tease or insult others to get a reaction from them, with Santaro, Hyakuitaro, Eiji, and Jio being his favorite targets for teasing.

He was an unbearable genius who wore a cast on his left arm after Ojiro broke it on the orders of Tenshin Oitori. Not quite so in the present during the game's events, as he now seems to be using his left arm fully again (though he never lost his wits or his drug habit).

He's generally a heroic figure fighting for the liberation of Neo Tokyo, but he has no qualms about using more unscrupulous means to get what he needs. Fittingly, he's the only one who isn't shocked or horrified by Yo's unexpectedly brutal blow against Sui, when he speaks of how Ichinose completely deserved his fate.

With Q. They are very close and usually stay together, and have been since Q's youth, like Ojiro Otori. The "Rebuke" tension card explicitly describes him as the only person Q can call family, and that he saved Q when he was about to be lost in darkness forever.

In addition to providing him with [Memory] stacks to continue using his strongest abilities, Kazuki's Ultimate will also temporarily increase his attack by a portion of his maximum health if his accumulated Memory stacks exceed his maximum amount, giving him a short window of time to deal significant damage.

After Kazuki discovers that Ojiro has lost his memories of his life before joining the Trash Tribe after being resurrected by Zero, he insists to the Akiba Ninja Legion that they should simply call him Q, claiming that Q is exactly what their master went through in the Trash Tribe, concealing that "Q" is all he can see himself as now.

One of the smartest people in Trash Tribe and smart enough to become one of the main strategists of Tribe Minato in the anime alongside Saori. He also never stops making sarcastic remarks.

He's essentially calling Tsukki out for clinging to the bond she and Yo once shared with Sui, even though they're now on opposite sides, pointing out that no one can truly understand another person's heart. Despite his harshness, he's absolutely right, as it's very clear Sui refuses to even consider reconciliation with Yo and Tsukki, making the conflict inevitable.

Kazuki is an unbearable and sarcastic jerk who loves to get a rise out of people, but he also shows a caring side towards those he trusts, especially Q. Similarly, while he started as a huge jerkass and a frankly manipulative bastard when he first joined Minato's clan in the anime, he eventually becomes this by the end of the series, and he still cares deeply about his friends in Minato's clan currently.

Kazuaki makes time to feed stray cats when he can, as shown in the Tension Card story, and his profile picture on NINE is a cat.

Kazuki attacks with incredible speed and can create strong barriers to protect his party from incoming damage.

He started out like in the anime, joining the Minato clan and using them as pawns so he could get revenge on Ojiro Oitori for breaking his arm before Tenshin Oitori kicked him out of Chiodo City. However, he softens considerably after they accept him despite his deception, and decide to help him with his true goal – saving Ojiro from himself. In the present, he'll now be, at worst, a pragmatically good hero.

After defeating Magata in XB, Ojiro rushes off alone, knowing that NUMBERS was about to reactivate the U-DX robot and destroy Neo Chiyoda City, and Kazuki chooses to let him go, under the impression that Ojiro should do something on his own. This turns out to be a serious mistake, for which Zero gleefully mocks him.

While Kazuki often acts like a self-satisfied jerk, he quickly shows a more concerned and caring side when it comes to Q/Ojiro, especially when the Trash Tribe heads to Neo Chiyoda City, where he and Ojiro grew up together under the tutelage of Tenshin Oтори. Similarly, the only time Kazuki is shown to be truly angry and desperate is when he discovers that Ojiro has lost all his memories after his death and resurrection at the end of Chapter 3, and can now only see himself as Q. Kazuki screams in rage and anguish when he confronts Zero about what he did to Ojiro.

Firmly on the side of good, Kazuki makes sure he has many favors to cash in on, both from friends and enemies, and will be as manipulative as necessary to leave him and the Trash Tribe in the most advantageous position. This is best illustrated in the Lux-Phantasma event, as he leaves both the Influencer and Sci indebted to him, giving the former a fake and helping the latter escape, all while simultaneously stringing along the unfortunate Tsuruko, giving the appearance that he wasn't letting Sci go the whole time.

While Kazuki doesn't bring a lot of raw firepower, he compensates with his incredible ability to disrupt, leaving enemies wide open to him and his team. He can also provide some protection to allies by deploying shields.

He removes the cast from his left arm before taking on Ojiro in the final episode of the anime, though this isn't enough to defeat him, as he's still badly injured.

If he performs a chain attack with Q, he's very close to uttering his real name before quickly retreating.

When Yo confronts Kazuki for hiding Kyu's identity as Ojiro Otori, Kazuki defends himself by accidentally stating that Yo never asked.
