Ibuki Taki

Appearance
Ibuki is a boy of average height and build. He has messy, spiky white hair with faded blue highlights and black streaks, and blue eyes. His outfit consists of a black collared shirt with yellow and blue details. The bottom of the shirt is made of a dark, sheer material.

He completes his outfit with white socks decorated with a blue stripe along the edge and high-top, tight-fitting black sneakers.
Etymology
Taki is written with 滝 (taki; waterfall). Ibuki is written with 維 (i; fiber, tie, rope) and 吹 (buki; to blow, to breathe). Additionally, when written with different kanji, the name Ibuki can mean breath (ibuki, 息吹).
Trivia
He prepared American sushi for Niki, Rinne, Tatsumi, and Jun after realizing that Japanese sushi was different from what he had been eating. The sushi included ingredients such as grilled meat and avocado. [5]
Ibuki is from Ryukyu and was born in Okinawa. He uses a self-identification term specific to the people of Ryukyu (mainly Okinawa), referring to himself as uchinaanchu (うちなぁんちゅ). [ 6 ] [ 7 ]
He is also shown speaking several words and phrases in Uchinaaguchi, a native language of the Ryukyuan people. [8] • Curious and proactive: He possesses a great desire to learn and explore worlds he does not know firsthand. Upon joining the AKATSUKI group under the Rhythm Link agency, he is shown to be deeply motivated to discover the meaning of "true Japanese style."
• Logical thinking and eloquence: Despite his youth and having a character sometimes described as "My Way" (doing things his way), he is surprising for being an eloquent speaker and possessing very logical thinking for his age.

Personality and Traits

Souma comes from the prestigious Kanzaki family, widely recognized in the world of kendo. Because of this, he possesses a serious, rigid, and very stubborn personality. He firmly adheres to a strict code of honor and speaks in an archaic or very formal Japanese dialect.
He has the peculiar habit of carrying a traditional Japanese sword (katana) everywhere, and, being impulsive and prone to misinterpreting situations, he often tries to draw it immediately when his emotions are heightened or he detects dishonesty. Despite his quick temper and tendency to jump to conclusions, he is extremely honest, readily admits his own mistakes (which often leads him to punish himself with rigorous training), and is deeply loyal to those he respects.
Among his hobbies and interests are cooking, mental concentration exercises, and he possesses the unusual ability to fall asleep while standing completely upright.
