**Kyo Kusanagi (voiced by Greg Chun) - a dashing and brave hero and martial artist who saved the world on many occasions, having initially planned on retiring before getting visited by Ash and convinced that Sisyphus might be a threat, reluctantly working with both him and Iori to attempt and stop Sisyphus.
