Agito Wanijima

**Agito Wanijima**, also known as **Akito** and **Lind**, is one of the main characters of the *Air Gear* anime and manga.

Agito, Akito, and Lind Wanijima are the three personas inhabiting the body of Kaito Wanijima's younger brother. He later becomes a member of Kogarasumaru.

In the AWA fics, Agito is a student at the AWA Academy and is part of Class 13.

## **Appearance**

Bearing a striking physical resemblance to their mother Gazelle, Agito, Akito, and Lind are an effeminate-looking teenager with a slight build and shoulder-length, dark blue hair. They are 14-15 years old when first introduced, aging only 6 months as the series progresses. They are 142 cm (4'8") tall, weigh 38 kg (84 lbs) and have blood-type AB. Their usual attire consists of an eyepatch, black pants, and black jacket with the Kogarasumaru emblem emblazoned on the back. They used to carry straps with hooks that can be wound around Their legs and used to bind enemies. When first introduced, their attire was an orange straight-jacket with stripes along the sleeves and front, an eyepatch, white pants, with their usual straps with hooks. Additionally, each personality has its own distinct physical appearance and traits:

* As Agito, he has amber eyes with slitted pupils and fanged teeth. His left eye is covered.
* As Akito, he has amber eyes with normal pupils. His right eye is covered.
* As Lind, he has Over-Cross Twinkle Eyes, spiky hair and fanged teeth.

## **Personality**

### **Agito**

The youngest and dominant persona, Agito was created by Akito to cope with the mental stress created by his pacifist nature and responsibilities as Fang King. As such, his strength is derived from his desire to protect Akito. His devotion to Akito is shown in his match against Akira Udou, where he nearly sacrifices himself, believing himself to be the cause of his physical deterioration. Otherwise, he is an aloof and foul-mouthed character (his most-often used phrase is "FUCK!!"); despite this, he is nonetheless a valuable asset to Kogarasumaru. He is not to fond of romance, and is completely oblivious to Yayoi Nakayama's infatuation with him. Like everyone else, he refers to Ikki as "Crow."

### **Akito**

The dominant personality prior to Agito's creation, Akito is Agito's polar opposite in almost every aspect. Timid and gentle, he was trained by Kaito Wanijima to be the Fang King, and is referred to as his "pet". He was originally the Fang King. It is hinted by Agito that Akito is more frightening than Agito when angered during Kogarasumaru's first encounter with Tool Toul To. Feminine both in behavior and appearance. He is homosexual considering he "stole" Ikki's number 1 and 3 kisses. For unknown reasons, he is terrified of the Tropaion Tower, probably due to the Brain Charger Project, which subsequently resulted in his creation, or the fact that Lind's personality, the senior and original personality, was the first generation Thorn King later to be revealed as the Thorn Queen Gazelle.

### **Lind**

The last persona to appear in the series, Lind is the "First Personality" of the body. Lind's personality is actually a copy that of Gazelle, the first generation Thorn Queen, also known as the "Wings of Beginnings". He inherited her abilities and memories and is the mother of Agito and Akito. He is metaphorically referred to as the "Seed of Judas", planted within Kogarasumaru to sabotage them. When his person was grafted on, Lind's consciousness was too much for his body to handle; Akito, and by extension Agito were created from the resulting mental turmoil, while he went into hibernation, awaiting his body's maturation. He is Brain Charger No. 0 and prototype for Sleipnire, making him their senior. Ruthless, sadistic and disdainful, Lind regards Akito and Agito as "babies" possibly referring to the fact, Lind technically has the personality of their mother, and has a playboy attitude towards women. He does have a caring side though, as he was smiling when his youngest "brother" Agito reasserted control of the body. He is also very protective of Kaito Wanijima, seeing as he mentally snapped when he saw Arthur and Shalott beating him up and proceeded to attack the duo with the intent of killing them. He also has a vendetta against Nike, as he calls him his "prey" and says he's been after him for a long time. Lind is also most likely the sole male character in the series that can use the Sonia Road due to the fact that he has the memories of the original Thorn Queen Gazelle who owned the original Thorn Regalia.

## **Abilities**

All 3 of the personas are King-Level Bloody Road riders in their own right, and share the shadow **Leviathan**, which appears as an elongated, multi-finned shark. Nonetheless, there are distinct differences in their abilities:

* The current Fang King, Agito ranks among the top riders of the A-T world, and is the strongest and most experienced member of Kogarasumaru. In combat, he is exceptionally collected and focused, possessing keen instincts and analytic acumen. This, combined with his ability to perform moves after having seen them just once, has earned him the moniker of **Genius Fighter**. His initial R.E.A.D Level is 88, which rises to 99 in his duel with Akira Udou, and 122 during the battle with Sleipnire. During the battle with Arthur and Shalott, Akito mentions that he and Agito's R.E.A.D Level is now standing somewhere above or close to 200.

* Akito, a former Fang King, is actually even stronger than Agito; however, he refuses to ride A-T's due to his pacifist nature. Nonetheless, he is able to fight indirectly through Agito by lending him strength, boosting his capabilities significantly. Akito was also Agito's tuner prior to Yayoi Nakayama's "awakening", although he could not fully realize Agito's full potential because he lacked the ability to sense biorhythms.

* Inheriting the "Wings of Beginnings", Gazelle's abilities and memories as a Brain Charger, Lind displays inhuman skill with A·T's. In his debut, he easily dominates an opponent that Agito/Akito combined could not even put a scratch on. When he lends 'half' his strength to Agito, they have a R.E.A.D level of 302. Considering that information if he did indeed lend Agito half of his power that means Lind would have a R.E.A.D level around 360. The secret behind his strength is a hybrid combination between Sonia Road's flexibility and Bloody Road's sharpness and destructive power. Controlling these two powers is the Flying Heart, the "Virgin Blade".

His A-T is named **Sand Tiger**, which has a bladed ridge on its vamp and serrated wheels. The Fang Regalia's core, **Bloody Armor**, is installed in its wheels. Initially, Akito was only able to bring out 24% of Bloody Armor's total power; when appropriately tuned and deployed, Sand Tiger's front wheel guards jut out to resemble a shark's fin, and the wheels split along their serrations into a saw-blade configuration.

### **Tricks**

* **Solid Fang -**The creation of this Fang is through the collection of Inertial Energy that comes from landing and breaking and allows it to be remitted. However this Fang is more concentrated than normal and is able to actually cut things.
* **AGITO Ride fall Bloody roll, soul 1800°** - A brutal move that twists the opponent's body as Agito "rolls" the opponent from all sides, its distinctive 'finisher' is a spurting spiral of blood.
* **Backward Cross Ridefall Upper Fang "TWINCAM"** - A tag-team move used by Itsuki Minami and Agito. Ikki executes a 360 degree spin while holding Agito, who then executes a flying hook kick using the resulting momentum.
* **Fang Grind** - A tag-team move where Ikki "grinds" one of Agito's fangs, simultaneously increasing the lethality of the fang and the distance Ikki travels.
* **AGITO Bloody Fang Ride fall "Leviathan"** Akito's signature trick. With Akito, Agito is able to perform it without Bloody Armor, a spectacular feat in and of itself.
* **Gigaers Cross** - Originally Akira Udou's technique, Agito has also used it. It is a pair of fangs fired in a cross-shaped configuration.
* **Cage of Fangs** - Originally Akira Udou's technique, Agito has also used it. As its name implies, it is a criss-crossing collection of fangs which converge upon the opponent.
* **Bloody Road: Infinity Jail** - Lind's signature trick, it invokes the Infinity Atmosphere of the Bloody Road to create a ball of fangs, resembling Akito's cage, that encloses the opponent. It is essentially a refined, more elegant version of the "Cage of Fangs", as the "Jail" can be imploded at the user's will.
* **AGITO Bloody Blade Fang** - Agito's signature trick, it is essentially an evolved form of the Leviathan but perfected due to the Tuning of Yayoi Nakayama as an answer to his weak stamina. It takes the appearance of an oversized Fang with ribbed protrusions.
* **AGITO & AKITO × KAZU: Grand Fang Fire Bird** - With Akito, Agito creates a giant fang while Kazuma sets it ablaze with flames making it easily capable of taking down a plane.
* **Bloody Road: Saucer Crush** - One of Agito's only non-fang based techniques. Using his attached hooks, he slashes at everything in a horizontal circle around himself.
* **Virgin Blade**- Lind creates a fang that has thorns attached to increase the cutting power.

## **Trivia**

* Akito enjoys using lots of proverbs.
* Agito is shown to be very weak while sleeping, which is a running gag in the series.
* He has wind chimes hanging from his ceiling made of A-T parts.

* Akito's favorite animal are birds, especially crows, whereas Agito's favorite animal are sharks.

* During chapter 166, it seems that Agito is able to use the Flame Road, as seen when he ignites part of a factory, after watching and criticizing Kazu's run, much to Kazu's surprise.
* Agito/Akito's mother Gazelle was rider of the Sonia Road which is the opposite of the Bloody Road.
* The OVA reveals the Bloody Blade Fang to be deep blood red.
