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 by saying he will treat them better than Hajime, 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 is easily swayed by his emotions, making him increasingly reckless as he tends to act without thinking about the present situation. Even through this has been pointed out by Shizuku several times and has even almost got him kill, he rarely reflects on this issue. 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 due to the realization that he was able to kill a sentient being, something Cattleya berated him for doing. Eri also 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 defeated 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 suspicious, he still failed to consider the possibility that there were being surrounded by the enemy. This ends up also affecting most of his classmates as they all look up to him; so when he says there's nothing wrong, they believe it without considering whether it's true or not.

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 his denseness that neither Shizuku or Kaori ever found themselves attracted to him, despite knowing him for so long.

While traveling through the Frost Cravens of Schnee, Kouki showed signs of growing increasingly unstable. Despite repeating saying he would save and protect everybody, he continually failed at every turn, including failing to clear the Haltina Labyrinth. Worse for him, Kouki's own teammates were doing a better job than him and were getting praised from Hajime and his party for it. While facing his copy during the final part of the trail, Kouki continue to deny everything his copy said, which only made his copy stronger as he wasn't accepting his negative qualities. Once he saw Shizuku sleeping peacefully on Hajime back, he completely snap, choosing to believe Hajime was brainwashing everyone and everything would be return to being "right" if he killed him. His logic likewise grew increasing insane as well, as he didn't even make any sense anymore yet still believed he was in the right.
