Appearance
Inaba is similar to other Kickmaster Rabbits to where they have he has large hind legs, long rabbits ears, and white fur with red streaks, and that is where the similarities end. While the red streaks would normally pulsate with mana on a regular monster, Inaba's are more like a pattern that shines attractively on his white fur, and his hind legs are developed beyond the normal limitations of a normal rabbit, which was something that Hajime found as the most peculiar trait about him. After he officially meets Hajime, he is suited with leg armor artifacts that were made by him before the final before the final battle.

Biography
Prior to Inaba drinking the ambrosia in Hajime's old hideout, he was just another Kickmaster Rabbit living in the 1st floor of the True Orcus Labyrinth. He eventually stumbled upon Hajime's fight with the claw bear, which was considered the "Lord of the Floor", but after Hajime managed to beat it, Inaba considered him the new lord, and was very wary of him.

For a time, he observed Hajime's behavioral patterns from a distant spot, but he then found his hideout and confirmed that he must not approach the place through pure instinctual understanding, he then enter the hideout where he found the small puddle of ambrosia Hajime left behind and proceeded to drink it in a trance until there was none left. Inaba then started to feel mana surge and well up throughout his entire body, his mind began to become clearer and was able sense the presence of his surroundings several times stronger than he did before, he also had gained true sentience.

Inaba decide to go find more ambrosia, while kicking monsters along the way, but due to his recklessness, he then ran into the claw bear, unlike the other monsters who knew the difference in their strength and would try to run away, Inaba on the other hand did not cower in fear and challenged it in desperation. As a result, he survived the death match and awakened "Steel legs" the derivative skill of "Air Dance".

After his victory, Inaba decided to on a journey to meet Hajime and give his thanks while showing his strength. After that he would head off to see the world. Along the way Inaba grew in maturity being able to descend to the 80th floor through his own strength and thinking ability which was equal to an adult's.

He eventually meets Suzu while she was searching for monsters to subdue with Metamorphosis Magic when she noticed him accending from the floor below her, full of vigilance while agilely and silently moving from shadow to shadow, Inaba also noticed her and stopped in his tracks. Kaori and Ryutarou who were with Suzu, also noticed him as well approached him cautiously.
