Q-ta

Q-ta in the Kara no Kioku manga cover

**Q-ta** (Q太 ***Kyuu-ta***) is the Alter Ego of Rei Tsukumo in the *Kara no Kioku* manga.

## Personality

Q-ta is fairly cheerful and up-beat, while also being carefree and tends to wander as he likes while also being a bit stubborn. Q-ta holds fondness over Rei and sticks to his side the majority of the time. Despite Q-ta's friendly look, they can become very aggressive when they see someone/something that appears as a threat to them approach, but otherwise he might just talk to other zingais.

Q-ta language

Chirp: Hello

Chu: Maybe normal type of talk

Gyu: Shows he’s altered

## Appearance

Q-ta has a big, plump body. They are creamy white, have a pair of pointed ears with two black stripes at the tips, stubby and short legs like marshmallows, and a small tail. Q-ta's eyes are round and black on the sides (Prey animals normally have eyes in the sides), with a large wavy mouth and a big tongue. But when altered his eyes might get in front and have pupils similar to a cat. When Q-ta is altered he starts forming a mouth in its back like a crack and more ears start growing in its back.

## Plot

Q-ta appears in chapter one after negative emotions pour down on Rei. Before he could just ignore them, but now he couldn’t. His chest started to hurt and it started to crack and 2 big blue eyes looked outside with a smile. When Rei wakes up from a long sleep at school, he finds Q-ta smiling on top of his desk. He freaks out and runs. Rei crashed with a Zingai, Q-ta followed him and helped him out in that situation. On the following days he acted like a dog. When they met Hitotsume-Sama, he saw how he opened Rei’s chest, he got aggressive and started to bite his arm making hitotsume a bit surprised. When Rei felt unconscious he waited for him to wake up, but ended up getting shouted at. The following days he just messed up with Rei, sleeping on his desk, chair, being with the teacher and more. But something he just wanders around. He tried to warn Rei when a shadow appeared, and tried to help him in dealing with the shadows. But got abducted. He was consequently saved by Tobi Otogiri. He fell unconscious for a moment. When he woke up and saw Tobi he shouted out of fear. When things calmed down he played around when Tobi and Rei were talking. In chapter 4 he got his name from Rei who called him Q-ta. And smirked at the exhaustion of Rei by his fault.

## Relationships

### Rei Tsukumo

Rei is Q-ta's Zingai host, or Q-ta is Rei's alter ego/shadow. Q-ta shows a lot of like for Rei and is fairly happy when with him. They are very willing to protect Rei from other Zingai as shown when he tried biting Hitotsume while Rei was in their grasp,

### Hitotsume-Sama

It appears that as of now Q-ta dislikes Hitotsume after the following event with Rei.

### Tobi Otogiri

It appears that, even though Tobi saved him, he is a bit weary about him. When he was saved by him Q-ta shouted at him, but over time he seems to have relaxed over him. And is frustrated when Tobi pinched where his nose should be.

### Bird

When Q-ta senses the presence of Nagi shadow he starts to bark aggressively like if he was warning Rei of it. He seems to have a grouch against him.

## Trivia

* The kanji character **太** *(ta)* means "thick/plump" while the Q in the beginning of Q-ta is a reference to how often they say "Kyuu" ***(キュウ)***
