Gen Asagiri

In the year 5739, around 3,700 years after the Petrification Event, he was de-petrified by Tsukasa Shishio, who then assigned him the task of finding out if Senku Ishigami was still alive or not after seemingly killing him. Gen later on discovered Senku was indeed alive. But rather than report this back to Tsukasa, he instead decided to join Senku's Kingdom of Science after being convinced he can bring humanity back to the way it was before everyone was turned to stone.
He's voiced by in Japanese and by in English.

Before turning into stone, Gen was first seen with a full set of black hair along with a tuxedo. After being de-petrified, the right side of his hair has turned white.

His current outfit consists of a hand crafted yukata covered by a purplish coat that reaches close to his feet, as well as long pants.

In perilous situations, he remains composed and collected, whether being interrogated, threatened, or in hostile territory. Nonetheless, Gen can display emotions such as surprise or disbelief, particularly when Senku unveils a new plan.
