TOGAINU NO CHI
I know, it's sad, but I love Togainu no Chi so much that I had to dedicate a page to it! So, I'll be listing all the characters, the storylines that I know of for each, and yadda yadda...I don't even know if I have all of the characters...oi...
Akira
So, I'm uploading the most dramatic pictures I have of each and this is Akira! He's a young man put in jail for "murdering" somone, whether or not he did. He claims innocent, but the court says he's guilty. As a way out, a lawyer-like woman, Emma, and her bodyguard, Gwen, permit him to participate in a game called Igura. If he defeats Il-re, he's free. Sadly, his life is still on the line. Reluctantly, he joins the competition. He wields a knife and is the protagonist of the story. (Though, I don't know why because he's not as cool as the other characters!)
Keisuke
Yikes! He's only like this through part of the story when he really gets into the competition! This is Keisuke, Akira's best friend. They grew up together in the orphanage and Keisuke has always followed Akira...so much that he finds himself in the Igura competition, but Akira complains, saying that Keisuke will only weigh him down and that Akira will only end up protecting him. Because of this, Keisuke takes the drug Rain, which can make one stronger and lose their sense of pain, in order to become powerful enough to compete in Igura. Sadly, this makes him lose his mind and he becomes a blood-thirsty monster. Though, I'm uncertain of the events leading up to it, except that he does attack Akira, Keisuke is killed, leaving Akira devistated.
Rin
This is Rin and, yes, this picture is both cute and morbid! He's one of the main characters in the story, sharing a close bond with Akira. He helps Akira around Igura and they share fairly decent memories. Things happen to where Rin is "arrested" by Arbitro's henchmen, but, I believe, he escapes. As it turns out, he's Shiki's little brother...worst of all, however, he kills Shiki at the end of the story and inherits Shiki's legacy. For this very reason, I hate this little brat!
Shiki
OI OI! HOT BODIES LIKE THIS SHOULDN'T EXIST! He's hot, he's cruel, and he's cold. Still, he has his way with whoever he wishes and everyone runs away from him in fear when he draws his katana. He might have a weakness: Rin...but this is unsure and he seems to have an attaction to Akira: just like everyone else! (What is with these people? Akira isn't that good-looking!) He also has made enemies of Gunji and Kirio (Not a surprise!) So, as it goes, he dies at the end. Also, as it goes, he might very well be Il-re! EEK! He's hot enough...actually, well, he's strong enough too, but he's hotter than he is strong!
Arbitro
Arbitro is the main guy around here. He's the referee of the Igura competition and he's in charge of the drugs going around...though...he's got an issue with an unknown character that has been taking some of his business. As you can see, I hate him so I put up the most embarrassing picture of him that I could find! (And it was also the most dramatic that I could find!) I seriously hope he doesn't take off his mask because I'm afraid to see what's underneath! He's got a huge crush on Akira, but he's also really into Kau. His relationship with Kau seems to be one of master and slave, but it's the strongest relationship he's got.
Gunji
Well, everyone knows that I love him! He's hot and he's crazy. Also, he's never really seen without Kirio. They are the badass punishers in Igura and they take out anyone that carries around fake dogtags...however, they're a lot like sharks: once they start ripping things apart, they don't care what's "prey" and what's "bystanding". They tear up anything. It seems as if Kirio controls Gunji a little...as he's always beating him up!
Kirio
Yup. Of all the characters, he's certainly one of the hardest to get a good picture of. This is one of the few that I could get that doesn't have him right next to Gunji. As I said before, they're always seen together and Gunji seems to be controlled by Kirio. Kirio also seems to have more of a head on his shoulders, using what little brain he has to keep Gunji from losing it altogether. He's a punisher too and that pipe in his hand isn't because he's a plumber; he uses that thing like a club...and it has GOT TO HURT!
