**Kazuna Akairo** is the protagonist of Part 3 and also appears in Parts 4-6. Kazuna is the third and most recurring KaKa of the KaKa's Bizarre Adventure series.

He is a High School Student. Kazuna is a delinquent who lives an ordinary life until the Boruto Family's old enemy, Inazuma, returns. Kazuna travels to Drohnen in order to save his mother and stop the Demon once and for all.

Wielding the incredibly powerful Electro Vision, Kazuna is the first KaKa introduced with a Vision, and is among the most well-known characters of the series.

## Appearance

Like all Protagonists, He has ruffled, burgundy hair, combed back to expose his forehead and 2 tresses fall over his forehead, and wide, dark red eyes with white pupils that appear lighter around the lower section of his irises.

In Part 3, Kazuna wears a modified trenchcoat-length *gakuran/tsume-eri* with a tall, stiff collar, Underneath, he wears a fitted, red-colored sleeveless shirt and a pair of slim-fitting 20000 Wen pants of very short, sharp flares held up by thin belts, often differently colored, patterned in a row of alternately colored tessellated triangles. He also wears a pair of leather shoes (presumably) without socks.

In Part 4, Kazuna wears a small, open, lapel-less waistcoat patterned with alternating circles and crosses over a black turtleneck with the palm emblem on the neck. His hat has a row of black Venus symbols (♀) with an arrow at the bottom of the cross, that way, making them resemble anchors, along with another palm emblem. His two belts are no longer patterned, but the bottom has a small pouch attached to it, also sporting the palm emblem.

In Part 5, Kazuna wears light coat appears much more form fitting with its large collars adorned with metallic "K" symbols. It has rounded diagonal slits across the sides and only the top button is buttoned. Underneath Kazuna's coat is a dark turtleneck shirt with another hand symbol on his neck. The shirt displays two bright stripes intersecting with each other and his sleeves are rolled up. Kazuna's two vibrant belts are worn orderly and he has long pant legs appearing slightly pushed up above his shoes.

In Part 6, Kazuna again wears a dark overcoat; this time of more detail. Lines ring the top and the base of his collar; joining to run the length of the coat's opening. The surface of his collar bears two star pins, with one on the inside, along with a small chain piercing the left. Two lines run the top of the shoulders, with two more radiating from his collar to their sides. Two zips lie between the chest and the stomach. The sides of the shoulders bear large *mitsudomoe* symbol, beginning a light stripe reaching his cuffs (also bearing a star) that reads "KAKA", repeatedly. A line runs from the armpit to the end of the coat.

He wears a light under-shirt, printed at the chest with a large *mitsudomoe* symbol. His shoes and pants are of a piece in a snakeskin texture. He wears a single leather belt, studded in two rows, folded behind itself after the buckle.

## Personality

Kazuna's most noticeable trait is his seemingly aloof nature. He is a quiet individual, often satisfied with expressing himself in short phrases. His bio explains that he thinks anyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him, and probably thinks further effort in portraying how he feels to be a waste of time, making others tend to perceive Kazuna as callous. Related to this, Kazuna is an extremely cool individual, able to keep his composure in even the direst situations. The best example of his coolness would be against Thor, playing a dangerous game of poker during which he successfully bluffs the expert poker player into folding even if he didn't know what cards he had and wagered the souls of every companion and ally involved. While he was shown to be mildly anxious when something unanticipated happens, Kazuna almost never goes as far as to lose his cool.

## Abilities

**Immense Speed & Reflexes:** Kazuna possesses superhuman speed and reaction time, being able to travel faster than the eye can see and even move faster than Shinku, an extremely skilled sword master, and react to the blinding movement speeds of Agent of INAZUMA.

**Enhanced Eyesight:** Kazuna's **Electro Vision** utilizes eagle-like eyesight throughout *Thunder Crusaders*. Kazuna has used his vision to see four kilometers across a desert, as well as identify meaningful details, such as a specific type of fly in high-resolution images. It can also follow a card shuffle performed by a professional gambler, subsequently recounting the entire new order of the deck.

**Self-Preservation:** Kazuna's vision possesses the awareness and reaction speed to protect Kazuna in many instances that he himself seems unaware; halting a bullet he experimentally shoots at his own head; protecting him while frozen by INAZUMA's Time Stop; reviving him from near-death by directly pumping his heart.

**Immense Strengh:** Kazuna can use his vision to possesses immense strength, being able to throw a Jeep carrying four men and a girl out of the path of an 18-wheeler with one hand, later pulling the same Jeep out of a canyon with only a car as a counter-weight, and destroy large artificial diamonds within seconds.

**Swordsmanship:** Kazuna is an incredibly talented swordsman, especially in his proficiency in extremely fast Iaijutsu-like swordsplay and the **Boruto Art: Return of the Stars** technique, to the point he can create offshoots of the technique. His swordsmanship skill allowed him to fend off dozens of knives and defend 30 meters in Berlin that Enmu was constantly attacking.

**Indomitable Will:** Kazuna possesses an undaunted will and spirit, being able to fight and engage in battle against enemies stronger than him with his sheer will alone, when he sustained severe injuries and wounds. The death of his grandfather, Kasuke Boruto. during in the battle against INAZUMA also played a big role in his insurmountable willpower, his visions of his team members urging him on during times of crisis, allowing him to pull through any hardship.

**Electrokinesis:** As an Electro Vision user, Kazuna can manipulate lightning and electricity, specifically swift strikes and movements akin to lightning ripping through the sky, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms involve utilizing blinding speeds and immensely fast attacks to overwhelm the enemy in an instant.

* **Chronokinesis:** During the final battle with INAZUMA in *Stardust Crusaders*, Kazuna awakens the ability to stop time. The technique is referred to by Kazuna as **Boruto Art: The World**, named after the late antagonist's technique name, **The World**. When activated, Kazuna is able to halt the flow of time for a brief moment (several seconds from the point of view of him), causing everything around him to appear frozen in place. During these few seconds, Kazuna remains conscious, able to move or interact with any object or person within his range, and apply force to them. Likewise, he is able to act within a Time Stop activated by another source, such as INAZUMA, although his time limit remains (see the table below). He is unable to use the ability consecutively, requiring a few seconds in between each usage.
