Kouki Amanogawa

Kouki Amanogawa is a main character from the "Arifureta Shokugyō de Sekai Saikyō" series.

He is one of the students from Japan who got involved in the Summoning Incident, and ended up in Tortus along with his other classmates. He is somewhat like the leader of the whole class, as students look up to him.

Appearance
Kouki is a typical  (good-looking man). With good looks, athletics, smarts, and a good personality. He has silky brown hair and gentle eyes. His body is toned and slender at about 180cm.

Personality
Kouki is a kind, fair, and overflowing with sense of justice. However since he never thinks he's wrong, he has a bad habit of interpreting adverse situations to his own convenience. This stems from his childhood. During his childhood he greatly admired his grandfather that would teach him his ideals of righteousness and justice. After his grandfathers death, Kouki held to his grandfathers teaching of ideal righteousness. Even so, the righteousness that his grandfather taught didn’t recognize good and evil at all. To further say it, Kouki came to think that what the majority of people thought as right was the absolute right. As he grows, he is capable of overcoming many problems while holding to his ideal. As a result, without realizing it, Kouki came to not doubt his own righteousness. Despite being cautioned by several people close to him, especially by his parents and Shizuku, he ignore it and simply believe in his righteousness, making him quite arrogant about himself.

Because of this, Kouki can't accept things when it doesn't go the way he wants. Such as when Kaori decide to follow Hajime on her on will, he cannot accept it as he always believe that they should be together forever and would rather believe that Hajime is the one that took her away. He further mistake that all the girls who were following Hajime were being force by him and tried to get them to come with him instead, which only greatly disturbed them because of how far off the mark he was. Hajime noted the reason why he didn't bother telling him and the rest of their classmates about the gods was because Kouki wouldn't want to believe what he's been doing was completely pointless and would just get mad at him instead.

Kouki tends to get easily swayed by his emotions, leading him to act without thinking. This has proven to be his greatest weakness, as he will hesitate when he learns new information about his enemy and end up giving them an opening to defeat him. During his second battle against Cattleya, Kouki stopped his blade when he was about to kill the demon because he just realized demons were people too, something Cattleya berated him for doing. Eri made uses of this weakness by making the undead Meld appear as if he could be saved, causing Kouki to stop his blade once again before he could finish his opponent, getting defeat as a result.

He has a large amount of charisma, but always charges straight forward without thinking of the consequences. He also has a naive, childish outlook on the topic of love and the topic of killing. Kouki is often too optimistic for his own good, usually failing to consider the possible dangers surrounding him at times. Even when the situation in the palace was becoming strange, he still failed to consider the possibility that there were enemies inside the palace. This ends up also affecting most of his classmates as they all look up to him; so when he says there's noting wrong, they believe it without considering whether it's true or not.

A another noticeable trait about Kouki is his denseness. Despite being very popular with many different girls on both Earth and Tortus, he failed to notice this. Similar, he completely failed to notice that his childhood friend Kaori had feelings for Hajime back on Earth and instead believed she only talked to Hajime because she felt bad for him. Even when she confessed to Hajime right in front of him he still couldn't believe it. It's because of how dense he is that neither Shizuku or Kaori ever found themselves attracted to Kouki despite knowing him for so long.

Biography
Kouki is your typical ikemen (handsome boy). He was very popular on Earth, but he didn't notice it. When he was 7, Kouki met Shizuku Yaegashi when he came to learn kendo at the Yaegashi dojo. Kouki was very popular in school and thought to be attractive by many of the female students, but none of them approached him due to him always hanging around Shizuku. The two of them later met Kaori Shirasaki, and she would frequently hang out with them as well.

Kouki's skills in kendo earned him several interviews and magazine photoshoots.

When he first saw Hajime after he fell into the abyss he couldn't believe it was him.

Relationships

 * Hajime Nagumo - at first, Kouki considers Hajime a bother, viewing him as constantly fawning over Kaori due to his convenient interpretation of her attitude towards him. Later, after their reunion in the Orcus dungeon, seeing him becoming stronger and surrounded by many girls along with Kaori, who eventually decided to follow Hajime, he became jealous of him. This also coupled with fact that both of them have different way of thinking. After being saved twice during the attack on the kingdom, rather than being grateful, he became even more jealous of him. Kouki was further upset that despite his immense power, Hajime didn't believe he need to uses his power for "justice" because that's not what he wants. He eventually snapped after seeing Shizuku with Hajime. Seeing him as a monster that would brainwash everyone to get what he want.
 * Ryutarou Sakagami - one of Kouki's closest friends.
 * Kaori Shirasaki - one of Kouki's closest friends. Kouki has always respected Kaori for being a kind person. But due to his denseness, he never notices that Kaori loves Hajime and thought she felt bad for Hajime who is always alone. More than once, he doesn't realize that what he says hurt Kaori more than help her, such as after Hajime falls into the abyss. When Kaori confesses to Hajime and declares that she would be going with him, Kouki couldn't accept it or believe that she really loved Hajime the whole time.
 * Shizuku Yaegashi - one of Kouki's closest friends. They have known each other for around 10 years and are usually seen together. However, unlike Ryutarou who blindly supports Kouki, Shizuku usually try's to get Kouki to think before acting. At times, Kouki will open up about his feeling to Shizuku, but to his dismay, she tends to point out where he's wrong rather than tell him what he wants to hear. After Kaori decided to travel together with Hajime, he plead Shizuku not to leave him, which she doesn't promise.
 * Eri Nakamura - Eri see's Kouki as her savior and will do anything for him to be her's.
 * Meld Loggins - Meld pays special attention to Kouki due to the later's vocation of "Hero". He would begrudgingly prioritize his safety over the safety of the other students. After the fight against Cattleya in the Great Orcus Labyrinth, Meld apologizes for not teaching Kouki that he will have to be ready to kill his enemies when the time comes, a mistake that almost cost Kouki and the others their lives because Kouki failed to bring himself to kill the demon when he had the chance. When Eri later uses Meld as one of her undead soldiers, Kouki was shocked and sadden to see what had happen to his mentor. Despite knowing Meld was already dead, Kouki couldn't bring himself to strike him down and end up hesitating too much.
 * Moana de Shelt Synclea - the Queen of another world that Kouki is summoned to in order to save her people from a race of creatures called the "Dark Beings". The two of them develop a mutual attraction for each other, and she now accompanies Kouki on his journeys in Tortus.
