Suzaku Kururugi

Suzaku Kururugi, also known as White Knight, Knight of Princess Euphemia, Knight of Seven, Knight of Zero, White Grim Reaper and Zero, is one of the main characters from the Code Geass series.
== Charactah Account ==
Suzaku is the rival and best friend of Lelouch. Suzaku is a rather controversial character. Instead of following Lelouch's ideals to crush Britannia to save Japan, Suzaku opted to change Britannia from the inside, to help Japan, and he is willing to crush Japanese freedom fighters and terrorists in order to achieve this (even those that share his ultimate goals, such as the Kyoto Group). Speaking of that, he got chosen to pilot the Humongous Mecha Lancelot, which enables him to kick tons of ass. He becomes even better when Lelouch gives him a Geass to live, allowing him to do otherwise-impossible physical feats. He often tells people that "results obtained using the wrong means are meaningless," which means he opposes Zero for using terrorism to achieve his ends.
Later, Suzaku finds love in Princess Euphemia li Britannia, and got picked as her Knight, nonetheless. But after a certain incident that made him lose her very cruelly and messily, he blamed Zero for it and became more "honest", showing more brutality and less restraint. Even after the revelation that Zero is Lelouch, Suzaku did not falter and turned against his best friend.
In the second season, Suzaku becomes a Knight of the Round as the Knight of Seven and hopes to advance to the rank of Knight of One, since it will grant him honorary rule of any area. He plans to take control of Area 11 (Japan) and use his position to help the Japanese people.

== Trivia ==
* Both Suzaku and his father, Genbu Kururugi, have the same names of two of the Four Symbols in the Chinese constellation; Suzaku being the Vermillion Bird of the South and Genbu being the Black Tortoise of the North.
* In Code Geass Novel 0, Suzaku kills his father months before the Invasion of Japan. The prime minister plans to hand over the country and execute Nunnally vi Britannia to gain favor with the royal family. In an attempt to stop his father, Suzaku kills him with a sword Kyoshiro Tohdoh had in the family training hall.
* Due to Suzaku's physically impossible and unintentionally humorous signature spinning kick attack, fans have given him the unceremonious nickname of "Spinzaku". This in turn has led to an Internet meme where fast-paced gifs of the kicks are set to the song "You Spin Me 'Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive, such that it looks like he is twirling in place while in mid-air.
* Suzaku appears to have affinity of number seven,as his first Knightmare Frame is Lancelot,a 7th Generation Knightmare, solely fend off seven Knightmares of The Order of Black Knights during Tohdoh's prison break and earn the title of Knight of Seven.
* Suzaku's relationship with Lelouch somewhat mirrors the relationship between Lancelot and Gawain. After Lancelot killed Gawain's unarmed brothers, Gaheris and Gareth, when he rescued Guinevere from the stake, Gawain swore vengeance and challenged him at every opportunity, though Lancelot refused to finish him off. He finally ended up killing Gawain using a sword known as The Sword With the Red Hilt, mirroring the red sword Suzaku used to run Lelouch through in the Zero Requiem. Gawain's last moments expressed his forgiveness of Lancelot. Gawain has also been occasionally referred to as "the man [Lancelot] loves most", also suiting their relationship.
* Takahiro Sakurai voiced McGillis Fareed from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans which is another Sunrise show. As a reference to the series, McGillis dons a Montag persona similar to Suzaku sporting Zero due to the fact that they have masks that represents them as a Char Clone. McGillis has some similarities to Suzaku as both are willing to betray their friends to gain power to change their nation. Both have an ally who would later turn into an enemy Shin Hyuga Shaing/Gaelio Baudauin (Vidar) who shares the same Seiyuu.
* Suzaku's character design bears similarities to Syaoran from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. The two are also acrobatic and utilize kicks in their fighting style. They also bear similar personalities where they are both kindhearted and determined to see their goals through, and are affected deeply by a loved one, Suzaku's being Euphemia, and Syaoran's being Sakura.
* Suzaku's appearance is almost identical to that of Kira Yamato from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Additionally, Suzaku's love interest Euphemia bears a similarly identical appearance to Kira's love interest, Lacus Clyne.
