Aikurō Mikisugi

Aikurō Mikisugi (美木杉 愛九郎 Mikisugi Aikurō) is a major character in the anime and manga series Kill la Kill. He is Ryūko Matoi and Mako Mankanshoku's enigmatic homeroom teacher. Initially appearing dull and easily flustered, he secretly observes and aids Ryūko by leading her to Senketsu. It is later revealed he is working undercover at the school as a spy for the Nudist Beachrebel group.
He is voiced in Japanese by Shin'ichirō Miki and in English by Matthew Mercer, the later of whom also voiced Levi Ackerman, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Chrom, Shigure, Ryoma, Jotaro Kujo, Yusuke Kitagawa, and Yamato, Cassidy
==Appearance==
In his disguise, Aikurō looks like a middle-aged man with blue messy hair, with a bent back and an unsteady gait. His blue eyes are hidden behind large reflective glasses. When in his true persona, Aikurō removes the glasses and sweeps back his hair, revealing that he is actually a young and very handsome man. 
==Personality==
Aikurō can easily be described as flamboyant and flirtatious, but can be serious and direct when he needs to. Appearing at first glance to be Ryuko's bumbling homeroom teacher, this mysterious man is an agent of Nudist Beach who has infiltrated the school to spy on Satsuki. Aikuro aids and protects Ryuko under the Student Council's radar, providing her with vital information on Senketsu and the Kiryuins, usually in the middle of an inexplicable striptease.
==Biography==
He once worked as an assistant to Ryūko’s late father, Isshin Matoi, who was one of the few that knew of the potential of Life Fibers. After the death of Isshin, Aikurō received his letter that guided him to the whereabouts of the Kamui Senketsu and the task to give Senketsu to his daughter.
To learn more about the Life Fibers, he infiltrated Honnōji Academy and went undercover as a high school teacher.
