Kageyama Zanto

**Kageyama Zanto** is a second-year at **YamiTsume High School** and is the mysterious drummer of the band **Majesty**. Zanto has the ability to see spirits and is able to interact with one. Aside from playing drums for his band.

Despite sometimes seeing rather grotesque spirits, he doesn't show any fear and usually befriends said spirits.

He has a small number of friends because he sometimes talks alone. (Because he talks to spirits).

Despite his ability, he is not in the **Occult Club**, but he was deemed interesting by the members. He is instead, in the **Astrology Club**, along with **Tamami** and **Bakin**.

## Background

Zanto is able to see spirits since he was born. Not much is known about him.

Zanto joins Majesty because of an ulterior motive.

## Appearance

Zanto has black hair with several strands of grey hair on ends. He has a rather normal appearance, and is taller than some members.

His summer wear includes a white shirt and blue pants, with brown shoes.

His winter wear and casual wear includes a black blazer with a grey t-shirt, and black jeans with a chain around the right pocket. He wears black shoes.

## Personality

Zanto is a very mysterious fellow. He has no actual personality and will just sit quietly at his seat, or will talk to himself (talking to spirits). It's because he thinks that people will think of him as weird.

Zanto is shown to respect every spirit he has ever encountered, seen when he still puts flowers on their graves despite their spirits are next to him. He also seems to dislike nobility for some reason, as seen when **King** first told him his name, causing his attitude to change towards him. Knowing that King is a "one of a kind", He keeps on telling King to "trust himself".

He expects every other person to stay away from him, because of his weird ability to see and touch spirits. He laughs a lot when King does the opposite instead. However, he do felt less lonely when someone understands him. He is also very resourceful due to his spirits, gathering information from around the city with the help of his spirits.

After the so-called "scalpel session" or the test of loyalty towards King's butlers and maids, Zanto respects **Palamedes** and tells King that he's earned himself a truly loyal maid, proving that Zanto could try to prove things in a very drastic measure.

Despite him having no previous experience in musical instruments, he is willing to learn how to play the drums to "realize King's path".

He also checks the news a lot, in case there's a dead body or something of the sort was found. If that did happen, he'll go find the spirit and help them find justice.

## History

### The Golden Dream of A Future King Storyline

Zanto first appeared when **Daisuke** and **Hitomi** comes across him while walking to school. After they left, a spirit of a little girl appeared and Zanto asked her what had happened to her.

Zanto was saved by King when two delinquents beat him in an alley near **Yahata Station**. After King fails to save Zanto, the two were left injured at the small alley. After introducing themselves and sharing a few sarcastic remarks to King, he later agreed to take King back to **Tintagel Castle**.

Back there, they were met with **Lancelot**, who panicked upon seeing his prince's condition. On Tintagel Castle's Medical Room, the bandanged Zanto decided to do a little "experiment" by threatening to stab King with a scalpel. He then proves **Bors**' thought of disloyalty, and sent him to the dungeon. His actions worked, as Palamedes is the only one brave enough to act in time to save King. After **Eiasviel** arrived, **Agravain** was ordered to send him to one of the guest rooms.

That night, King's younger brother, **Jack**, together with his retainers, **Mordred** and **Daniel**, came to the room he is currently at. Jack was about to ask him to become his retainer when they heard **Gaheris** and **Gareth** outside, causing Jack to leave quietly.

The next morning, Zanto waits for King along with Gareth, **Tristan** and Palamedes at Tintagel's Courtyard. Together, they walked to school instead of riding their horses, which surprises almost everyone. On the way to school, they happened upon Daisuke, who fell and is stuck in a trash can. The three men then helped him out and they later walked to school together.

At one point, Zanto is sitting at his chair, feeling the light breeze from the open school window when **Jinya**approached him to ask him of something.

Zanto appeared again when he and Daisuke are about to go home when they saw **Azama**, **Chosuke** and **Genrai** being chased by **Waichiro**. When asked some questions, they immediately ran for their lives. After escaping Waichiro, the group met up with Chosuke and they went to Goshogawara to have dinner.

He also joined them to search for Chosuke, the dinner at **GOLDEN LION Restaurant**, the autographing session of **Tokushima Yohei**, and he later asked Tokushima to train him to become an outstanding drummer to "realize King's path and make it a reality". Seeing such determination, Tokushima can't help but accept.
