Nagasarete Airantou/Characters
Read the manga first so as not to be spoiled by some characters here. Need some help as well.
Human Characters
Touhouin Ikuto
Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi (Drama CD), Hiro Shimono (Anime)
- Abusive Dad: Has one.
- Accidental Kiss: with Ayane.
- Accidental Pervert: And HOW.
- Arbitrary Skepticism: He has gradually become accustomed to talking with the anthropomorphic animals on the island, yet still refuses to believe in anything of paranormal or mythological origin even if it is right in front of him.
- He doesn't have any problems believing in Aliens and Robot Girls either.
- He winds up on the other end of the spectrum, when he tries to convince the islanders on the existence of the aforementioned aliens.
- He did have trouble believing in the anthropomorphic aspect of Airantou's animals, but that quickly died away when Shima-tora made a...convincing argument.
- A recent chapter had him get sick and get a fever which made him start to believe in magic. Then when he was still recovering he started to mix science fact with magic, and then he freaked out when he realized what he was saying.
- It's revealed that his skepticism was the result of a spell cast on him by Machi's father. After the spell is broken, Ikuto casually mentions that the Touhouin family has a history of interaction with the supernatural.
- Attack Its Weak Point: How he defeated the Northern Leader.
- Badass Abnormal: He can punch ghosts with his bare fists.
- Bag of Holding:
Ikuto: Well... I'd say there is a knack to it... Don't ask about it.
- Balloon Belly: When Suzu gave him CPR.
- Berserk Button: Saying "It's impossible." to his face.
- Big Brother Mentor: to Shinobu.
- Also, although Ikuto doesn't know it, his Big Brother Mentors from before he came to Airantou are the fathers of Suzu, Ayane and Machi, Rin, Chikage, and Yukino.
- Big Damn Heroes: On one memorable occasion, he saved Ayane and Michiru from an enraged Taiga, the Northern leader, by throwing his sword to hit Taiga's weak point.
- He also brought lunch.
- Blessed with Suck/Cursed with Awesome: for having an Unwanted Harem.
- Butt Monkey: At times.
- Celibate Hero
- Chick Magnet: Being the only human male in the island helps.
- Clueless Chick Magnet: If there are other men around, he is considered as this.
- Contrived Coincidence/Identical Stranger: He resembles Takatora, Suzu's father.
- Determinator
- Imagine Spot: Has a few.
- Innocent Cohabitation: with Suzu.
- Groin Attack: He gets because he doesn't believe Tohno is a kappa.
- Harem Hero: Type 2A —> Type 2B.
- Lap Pillow: He is the pillow for Machi while she is sick and vice versa.
- And for Suzu because she asked him which causes a three way brawl for his lap...
- Made of Iron: In the beginning he would actually have to rest a day after being beaten to a pulp.
- Now he can fight all 4 guardians, fall in a river, get eaten by a fish, and still be perfectly fine the next day. He has come a VERY long way.
- He may have always been this. He drifted at sea for 7 days without any food or water with no visible discomfort. He may have just been recovering from that still in the get go which explains how weak he was in the beginning.
- Master Swordsman: In his duel with Shinobu, she was so fast that, despite her lack of skill, he couldn't hit her -- but he was so able to read her movements that, despite her speed, she couldn't hit him. In later sparring with her, he's got to the point that he can flick Shinobu's sword out of her grip, then simply hold out his hand and her sword drops into his grasp.
- Mentor Ship: See Big Brother Mentor above.
- Never Got to Say Goodbye: to his family.
- Oblivious to Love: This is the most memorable example among many others.
- Don't forget that this guy's the celibate kind of hero.
- He thinks that the only reason the girls are after him is because of Gender Rarity Value.
- Don't forget that this guy's the celibate kind of hero.
- Panty Shot: A lone guy on an Island full of girls who wear skirts, he's bound to get a view.
- Please Put Some Clothes On: He says this to Suzu mostly because he lives with her, but he says it to just about every girl in his Unwanted Harem at one point or another.
- Red Herring: in the second Beniyasha Story Arc.
- The Runaway: Type 2 beacause of his dad.
- Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: His swordsmanship is outstanding, but he sucks at ball games.
- Stone Wall: His fighting strategy.
- Thanks for the Mammary
- Took a Level in Badass: The reason he became a Type 2B harem hero.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Curry.
- Training from Hell: He had this in the past from his grandfather.
- Weak but Skilled: He is one of the physically weakest people on the island, at least at first more arguable now, but that does not stop him from defeating his opponents.
- Wooden Katanas Are Even Better
- Why Did It Have To Be Heights?
- Acrophobic Bird: Training in the island has gave him impressive Ninja-like skills, and then he uses that to jump to a high branch of a tree...HilarityEnsues.
