Issa Mihotoke (Buccha)

• Voiced by: Hitoshi Bifu (Japanese), Mark X. Laskowski (English)

Known as Buccha to his friends and teammates, Issa Mihotoke (御仏 一茶, Mihotoke Issa^?) is a level E AT user who uses his immense strength as his weapon. Before he became part of Kogarasumaru, he was the leader of the team Night King (夜王 Yaou) which was broken up after Buccha lost a Parts War with Ikki. Buccha is often characterized as a tank. He attends Higachu Junior High School. He appears to be obese, but his body is only ten percent fat. His size is actually caused by a large amount of blood pooling in his gut from overeating. He also has the ability to manipulate that blood and send it to his muscles, causing him to temporarily have a slimmer, cut figure and even cause his limbs to become longer. He also has a semi-split personality similar to that of Akito/Agito. When not in a fight is simply cares for food and relaxing. But when the topic of battle comes up his other half takes hold, and he becomes a devastating killing machine. He can also dance. While he make look fierce, he is actually a friendly person. He uses brass knuckles-esque gloves in combat, which combined with his superhuman strength is truly devastating. His character design is based on the wrestler Abdullah the butcher note the three lines on his forehead, and his nickname "Buccha". He is a "Power" type rider.

Onigiri

• Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (Japanese), Greg Ayres (English)

One of Ikki's childhood friends, Onigiri (オニギリ, Onigiri^?) is also part of Kogarasumaru. His head is in the shape of an onigiri. Onigiri is a pervert and characterized as a pig. He has an unusual way of using his perspiration, usually during overall perverted moments, to create illusions. He also has a strange way of using his AT by sitting upside down on it (to the chagrin of his female schoolmates whose skirts he tends to look up while doing this). This way of riding proved to be very dangerous, for both Onigiri and his opponent, as he flails his legs back and forth(doing damage if he's close enough), but can also fall off, landing directly on the point of his head and streaking on the ground until he stops (this, however, is never shown, only an image of an actual onigiri in said position). He is in the same class as Ikki, and follows the "Smell Road." (the authenticity of this road is arguable, since one can't really tell if this was just another one of Oh!Great's jokes. However stated by Akito/Agito in Kyoto, there are "hundreds" of roads. But out of those only 8 roads can be called Road of King.) He can also go as fast (or possibly faster) for short spurts than Ringo, when the right motivation is present. At chapter 171 Onigiri is seen trainning with his friends in order to get stronger than before, most of his techniques have the ability to affect the enemy's senses, create illusions. On many chapters he's seen as an upside down buddha with supernatural powers.

 

Akito Wanjima

• Voiced by: Kokoro Kikuchi (Japanese), Blake Shepard (English)

He is an innocent, cute and cheerful boy who has a double personality. When the eye patch is covering the right eye, he is in dominance of the body. Ironically, Akito was the original Fang King. He enjoyed riding Air Treks for fun but realized his brother Kaito was only using him for violent purposes to further the Wind SWAT team's agenda. After his realization, Kaito began forcing Akito to do his bidding by taking away his freedom. In desperation, Akito created a violent alter ego, Agito, to ride for him and take his place in the Wind SWAT team. Since Agito took over for him, Akito has become mediocre at riding Air Treks (though he has been shown to still be able to ride well enough to use a Fang on Ikki's Tuner). Ikki eventually shows him the meaning of freedom by telling him the story of a frog that yearned for the sky. Moved, Akito kisses Ikki and develops a crush on him. Ikki 'rescues' Akito, and even though reluctant at first, let him stay at his house. Akito now lives with Ikki and the Noyamano sisters, and attends Higashi Junior High School. He then becomes one of the five founding members of Kogarasumaru. Up until now, Akito is the first person Ikki has kissed. He apparently likes to cross-dress, to the chagrin of Agito. Akito has been said to be the link-tuner for his alter ego Agito.

 

Agito Wanijima

He is Akito's dark half. When the eye patch is covering the left eye, he is in dominance of the body. Because of his violent and bloodthirsty behavior, he is often characterized as a shark. He uses the four hooks dangling from the straps on his legs to battle and tear other ATers apart. After Akito is 'rescued' by Ikki, Agito becomes an unwilling member of Kogarasumaru. Agito is a Class A AT user and also the current Fang King, making him one of the most valuable members of Kogarasumaru. Out of the group, Agito has the most knowledge about the world of Air Trek in general. Even though he has a rude and arrogant attitude towards his teammates, he respects them as comrades but still keeps up his behavior. He cares deeply for Akito and his only desire is to protect him. It should also be noted that, if the eye patch is taken off, Agito is still in control but gains much more power with the help of Akito.

 

Emily Adachi

• Voiced by: Shouko Ishii (Japanese), Kira Vincent-Davis (English)

Along with Nakama Yayoi, Emily Adachi (安達 絵美理, Adachi Emiri^?) is part of the track team and used to look down on Ikki and his friends. However, after the incident between Ikki and Buccha, she has come to admire them. She and Yayoi are also the first to admonish them whenever they come up with something stupid (which is rather often). She has a big crush on Kazu.In some of her dreams she dreamed she married Kazu and have two babies,she even once dreamed having sex with Kazu.

She eventually joins the Kogarasumaru and acts as back-up. Even though her Air Treck skills aren't all that great, she seems to at times be able to summon up super strength and endurance, like taking hits from powerful storm riders brushing the hits off easily to her super powerful kicks and wrestling moves, through her pure strength of will and "The Power of Love". Currently she is an official member of Kogarasumaru, during the fight with White Wolf Clan she replaced Buccha after he was beaten by an old man with a cybernetic armor. While fighting Emily and the others decided to win by beating the other team to a pulp. Currently she doesn't have a Road. It will possibly be a "love road".

OH! great's notes at the end of volume 3 show that he may like her more now than he did when first writing her into Air Gear. "A cute girl with a nice figure, but not much appeal. Appeal is zero as a matter of fact, probebly because she has such a bad personality."

Yayoi Nakayama

• Voiced by: Rieko Yoshimoto (Japanese), Stephanie Wittels (English)

Emily's friend and part of the track team, Yayoi Nakayama (中山 弥生, Nakayama Yayoi^?), used to look down on Ikki and his team, but now is a big fan. Nakayama has the ability to communicate with Ikki's crow and to tell the exact time, down to a second - a trait that is shared among prospective tuners of Tool Toul To. She has also shown some feelings for Ikki.
