Zanka Nijiku⁷

Riyo - This is a friend she made in college. She has red hair and is fun, sometimes sarcastic and playful. She's a great support to Zanka and is there when needed. 19 years old.

Enjin – Despite being older, he is also Zanka's friend and a mentor figure, looking after him and teaching him right from wrong. He is the leader of Team Akuta. 28 years old. Honey-blond hair and eyes.

Amo - She's a very sweet girl, a friend of Zanka's, who supports him in any way she can. She tends to be quite innocent, giving Zanka clumsy advice, but she enjoys being able to support him. She has black hair on top with orange tips, as well as orange eyes. She's 18 years old. She speaks in the third person, referring to herself as "Amo" when she speaks. This is due to a past trauma.

Rudo - He's loud and mostly grumpy, but he sees Zanka as his older brother and tries to help him, even though he's rather clumsy with emotions and interpreting them. White hair with black tips. 18 years old.

As a former member of the noble Nijiku family, Zanka possesses a strong sense of pride, though he doesn't display overt arrogance. His worldview divides people into two categories: "average" and "genius." While he once considered himself a genius, a humiliating defeat at the hands of a truly talented individual forced him to reconsider his average status and become more humble. However, he harbors a deep resentment toward "geniuses" and their seemingly effortless greatness.

Great intellect: Zanka also demonstrated a sharp, tactical, and insightful mind

On the surface, Zanka maintains an air of extreme calm and composure, a stark contrast to the emotional turmoil and chaos he often experiences within. While he strives to appear serene, his volatile inner state of anger, disgust, or excitement can erupt in sudden and exaggerated outbursts. Despite his efforts to suppress his emotions, he frequently finds himself caught up in the antics of his more eccentric classmates, momentarily abandoning his serious and pragmatic facade.

Zanka's communication style is a blend of confidence and courtesy, tempered by a direct, sarcastic, and uninhibited frankness. Furthermore, she speaks with a distinct Chūgoku accent, as do all the members of Kamuatari.

Zanka is a tall, slender teenager with dark brown hair slicked back in a mullet style, highlighted with blond streaks that accentuate his piercing navy blue eyes. His distinctive appearance is further defined by his eyebrows, shaved into a pattern resembling three distinct lines, and his pierced ears, from which long dangling tassel earrings hang.
