## Appearances

**Keiri Ashine** (足根(あしね) 敬離(けいり), *Ashine Keiri*), also known as **Handsome** (ハンサム, *Hansamu*), is a minor character from the *Monogatari Series*. He was a student of Naoetsu Private Academy and one of Koyomi Araragi and Sodachi Oikura's former classmates from class 1-3.

## Personality

Keiri was a good-natured and friendly individual. Due to his attendance number being so close to Koyomi's, he was one of the few classmates to be on speaking terms with the boy, and he was also on good terms with Sodachi. He had some level of influence on every girl in the class, as he was very good looking, which lead to his straightforward nickname.

## Appearance

Aside from the fact that he is very good looking, Keiri's appearance is never described.

## Background

Keiri was a member of class 1-3 and the flower arrangement club of Naoetsu Private Academy. He, along with all his classmates, was invited to the class meeting held by Sodachi.

## Trivia

* Keiri's last name, Ashine, is written with the same characters as the Japanese word for "tarsal" (足根(そくこん), *Sokukon*).
* Keiri's first name is written with the characters for "respect" and "separation".
* During midterms in his first year, his overall placement was 9th. His scores were:

## Title

The original Japanese title of the series features the first name of the main character, Iroha, which also doubles as a reference to the *Iroha*, a Japanese poem which doubles as an ordering for the *hiragana* syllabary, similar to the English ABCs.

**Katanagatari Chapter One: Absolute Sword, Plane** (刀語(かたながたり) 第一話(だいいちわ) 絶刀(ぜっとう)・鉋(かんな), *Katanagatari Dai Ichi-wa Zettō Kanna*) is the first novel of the *Katanagatari Series*, written by Nisio Isin and illustrated by Take. It was released on January 10, 2007 in Japanese and on November 27, 2018 as a part of the first English Omnibus.

## Synopsis

From the pen of the author of the legendary MONOGATARI novels comes another unique offering, available in English for the first time! The basis of an animated series, KATANAGATARI brings to life a swordless “swordsman” and a self-described “schemer” who embark on a quest to obtain twelve peculiar masterpiece blades. Featuring a gatefold color insert, beautiful interior art, and copious bilingual footnotes, this hardcover edition is the first of a quartet scheduled to collect the entire original run. Brimming with action, romance, and unexpected wisdom, often as tongue-in-cheek as The Princess Bride, and shot through with ninjas, samurais, and secret moves, Sword Tale is Musashi for a new generation and a gift for any fan of adventure.

Kubimura

"*After all, someone who does good things will feel good about themselves. Isn't that obvious?*"

— **Kubimura**

## Professional Status

### Occupation

Representative of the Department of Global Space Countermeasures

### Affiliation

Department of Global Space Countermeasures

## Media

### Manga Debut

Oogiri, Chapter 1

**Kubimura** (クビムラ, *Kubimura*) is the antagonist of one of the short stories in Oogiri. He is a representative of the Department of Global Space Countermeasures who showed up at Heitarou's house to retrieve Hako.

## Personality

When initially seen, Kubimura acts pleasant and polite, in a professional manner. However, he has no hesitation to do bad things in order to achieve his objective, as he promptly ordered his men to hold Heitarou at gunpoint and ravage his house in search for the girl. Despite this antagonistic behavior, he is surprisingly nice to Heitarou, even after seeing that Hako is gone, making casual conversation with the boy and telling him that it's natural to feel good after doing good deeds. Although his means aren't very peaceful, it seems that Kubimura's intentions, as well as his organizations's, weren't entirely malicious ones.

## Appearance

Kubimura is a middle aged man with long, neatly combed, light-colored hair and sharp eyes. He has a constantly furrowed brow and almost always dons a confident smirk. He wears a white suit over a white shirt with a black tie and black pants.

## Background

After detecting that the Astroid Schrodinger has hit the Earth around Japan, Kubimura was tasked with finding the offspring of Biological Organism Nr. Seven, AKA Hako. He tracks the alien down to be living with Heitarou, and initially asks the young man nicely to give her over, before barging in with armed forces.

## Quotes

* (Kubimura to Heitarou, when talking about a supposed cat the boy picked up) *"Did the cat... run away from you? Well, even if they seem like a race you'd like to hug, that's wrong. They'll forget about someone like you right away."*
* (Kubimura to Heitarou, when talking about delinquents doing occasional good deeds) *"I would not get angry over something like that. After all, someone who does good things will feel good about themselves. Isn't that obvious?"*

Abnormality

**Abnormality** (異常性(アブノーマル), *Abunōmaru, lit. "Strangeness"*) is a central concept in the world of *Medaka Box*. It is a type of Mentality, as categorized by Hakoniwa Academy, which very few humans possess, and which predisposes them to being born with special abilities known as **Skills** (能力(スキル), *Sukiru, lit. "Ability"*).

## Polarity

There are two main types of Abnormality: **Plus** (幸せ(プラス), *Purasu, lit. "Blessing"*) and **Minus** (過負荷(マイナス), *Mainasu, lit. "Overload"*).

Plus Abnormalities are the more common type of Abnormality. They encompass abilities with fundamentally positive effects for the wielder, abilities that can be cultivated, developed and ultimately mastered. Even if the Abnormality causes damage to others and is destructive in nature, it can still be considered a Plus ability.

Minus Abnormalities, on the other hand, are extremely rare, and unlike their positive counterparts, which can still be logically analyized, Minus abilities completely defy logic and physics. Minus abilities are impossible to fully control, and are fundamentally detrimental to the owner, being a reflection of their trauma. The more deteriorated the owner's mind becomes, the more impactful the Minus is.

As a result of the Flask Plan, a new category of Abnormality called **Zero** (持たざる者(ゼロ), *Zero, lit. "Have-not"*) was created, to which only Zenkichi Hitoyoshi belongs. Zeros are completely separate from either Pluses and Minuses, and are completely unaffected by fate or destiny.

## Abnormals

This is a list of every Abnormal mentioned in the story. This list only includes characters who are directly classified as having the Mentality of Abnormal, not those that are given Skills through other means.

## Skills

This is a list of all known Skills in the world of *Medaka Box*. A person that possesses a Skill is called a **Skill Holder** (能力所有者(スキルホルダー), *Sukiru Horudā, lit. "Ability Owner"*). Skills are generally named in kanji, with furigana spelling an English word or multiple words in katakana, though some Skills don't follow this scheme.

* Plus Skills
* Minus Skills

**Unnamed Abnormalities**

### Najimi Ajimu's Skills

The few Skills in Ajimu's repertoire that have been revealed have not been categorized by their polarity, instead using a different system of classification with nine categories:

* **Sword Skills** (刀剣系(とうけんけい)スキル, *Tōkenkei Sukiru*)
* **Martial Arts Skills** (格闘系(かくとうけい)スキル, *Kakutōkei Sukiru*)
* **Magic Skills** (魔法系(まほうけい)スキル, *Mahōkei Sukiru*)
* **Mental Skills** (精神系(せいしんけい)スキル, *Seishinkei Sukiru*)
* **Biological Skills** (生物系(せいぶつけい)スキル, *Seibutsukei Sukiru*)
* **Final Boss Skills** (ラスボス系(けい)スキル, *Rasubosukei Sukiru*)
* **Gun Skills** (銃火器系(じゅうかきけい)スキル, *Jūkakikei Sukiru*)
* **Ninja Skills** (忍者系(にんじゃけい)スキル, *Ninjakei Sukiru*)
* **Protagonist Skills** (主人公系(しゅうじんこうけい)スキル, *Shūjinkōkei Sukiru*)

Any other skills that do not fit in any of these categories will be referred to as **Miscellaneous Skills**.

Cipher Academy

**Cipher Academy** (暗号学園(あんごうがくえん), *Angō Gakuen*) is the main setting of the *Cipher Academy* manga series. It is a Japanese all-girls' academy dedicated to teaching the principles of cryptography and cryptanalysis, which has recently begun accepting one male student per class, one of which being Iroha Irohazaka.

## Uniform

Reflecting its origins, the design of Cipher Academy's uniform is similar to that of a military uniform. The base color of the uniform is a light, desaturated green with dark green accents on the cuffs and in the form of stripes running along the sleeves, divided by a thin white stripe in the center. The shoulders bear two yellow shoulder pads, and on the front of the uniform, there are two pockets on the chest area. The students also wear long black boots. Uniquely for a Japanese school, female students also wear pants instead of skirts.

Densetsu Series

The **Densetsu Series** (伝説(でんせつ)シリーズ, *Densetsu Shirīzu*), translated in English as the **Legend Series**, is a novel series written by Nisio Isin.

## Background

The Densetsu Series debuted on the 26th of April, 2012, with the novel *Himei Den* (*Legend of the Scream*), and concluded on the 28th of March 2018 with *Hijuu Den* (*Legend of the End*), with a total of 10 volumes, all published by Kodansha. The first novel of the series was adapted into a manga series, illustrated by Osamu Mitsutani. Its first volume was released on the 6th of May, 2016, and it had a total of 23 chapters, collected into 4 volumes. Unlike every other series written by Nisio, the *Densetsu* Series has no illustrations, with the exception of the last volume of the series, which depicts the protagonist, Kuu Sorakara, looking at the sky, from behind. Said cover was illustrated by Fuu Midori (also responsible for illustrating the cover of *Shoujo Fujuubun*).

## Premise

The story follows Kuu Sorakara, an unfeeling boy who always puts on a mask of emotion to hide the fact that he can never feel any emotion. One day, a scream was heard all around the world, killing a third of the human population. Six months later, Kuu confesses his unfeeling disposition to a doctor during a check-up, thinking nothing of it. The doctor, however, has ties to an organization known as the Earth Eradication Army, a force fighting to destroy the Earth itself, as it is trying to terminate the human race (the scream being caused by it). The Army deems the boy to be a perfect candidate to become a hero, logically determining that since Kuu is unfeeling, he can never have any weaknesses born of human compassion, and therefore can become the best fighter against the Earth. And so, they send Kenka Kendou to kill Kuu's parents and siblings, and also dispose of every one of his aquaintances, no matter how insignificant their interaction may have been, in order to "sever all of his attachments to his old life". Thus, Kuu joins the Earth Eradication Army, having nothing better to do.

## Title

Kabukimonogatari

* Japanese
* English

**Kabukimonogatari** (傾物語(かぶきものがたり), *Kabukimonogatari*), also known as **Dandy Tale**, is the second volume of the **Second Season** (セカンドシーズン, *Sekando Shīzon*) and the eighth overall volume of the *Monogatari Series*, written by Nisio Isin and illustrated by VOFAN. It was released on December 24, 2010 in Japanese and on May 29, 2018 in English.

## Synopsis

How far does one go to help a lost child? In the case of returning narrator Araragi, the answer is too far, across the veil of time. Dutifully (if unknowingly) following up on Hachikuji’s cheeky foreshadowing, he concerns himself with his young lady friend and her fate in this installment of the cult-hit series, heroically unable, once again, to find his own way home.

Thus the tale is also, or more so, about the journey itself, the dark honeymoon of a trip he takes into the past with the dweller in his shadow, Shinobu. Even among a cast that routinely disrespects chronology with their meta-commentary, she takes the cake, or the donut, by rewinding the clock for a perverse road movie, one that by and large goes nowhere, spatially.

It’s Kabuki not as in the theater, but with the character for “tilt”—as in a slanted attitude toward the world, the posture of a bohemian. Or, perhaps, of a legendary vampire who once sought death, and of a high school senior who once tuned out life doing their dandy best to attend to an embarrassing wealth of aberrations in a provincial town.
