He was known as the "Ice King" as he seemed to be able to use ice instead of the natural Kylotean fire. After taking over the colder south regions of Kyloto, Touma fought against Haruto in a battle known as the War of Fire and Ice.

Kusari Gikoku was the son of Kodai Gikoku, and was the commander of the High Tower, a battle tower in the western-most point of Old Kyloto (Now part of Kratonia), which served to defend Kyloto from attacks from the Sabarians.

Due to the build of both their armies, Haruto and Touma are the only Overlords of Kyloto to have ruled at the same time, but only had control of the north and the south, respectively, at that time.

Senkyoshi Gikoku was the previous head of the Gikoku Family, as Sageru's eldest son. Senkyoshi was known for taking back the power of the Gikoku family from the Asterians during their time in poverty and enslavement. Senkyoshi gathered together the nation and sparked what is known as the Grudge War, a revenge war against Asteria and Haphae. Despite his successes, h was betrayed by his younger brother, Uragiri, which resulted in his death.

Uragiri Gikoku is the second son of Sageru. He was known for assisting his older brother during the Grudge War. Eventually, Uragiri developed an interest in taking the throne for himself, and betrayed Senkyoshi to the Asterians, in exchange for clemency, rewards, and an agreement to end the war.

### Era of the Pureborn

Shen Gikoku is the current head of the Gikoku Family, as Senkyoshi's eldest son, and thus is the current ruler of Kyloto. Shen came into power at the age of 18, after he murdered his uncle, Uragiri, who had claimed the throne after betraying and causing the death of Senkyoshi.

Louxia Chōuyān (born Rukio Gikoku) is the second son of Senkyoshi. Rukio turned his back on the family, changing his name to Louxia to reflect on his choice. He later delved into piracy, where he founded the Kemuri Pirates. Louxia and his crew are a currently feared crew who have amassed a strong fleet. Despite his title and legacy, he serves under the Pirate King, Ryloth Onyx. His flag is based around the Gikoku name during Tetsu's reign, resembling a Kraken and crossbones. He is known to have murdered his relatives Fanren and Koga Karai.

Fanren Gikoku is the only daughter of Senkyoshi. She was killed by Louxia following unknown circumstances.

Yuri Karai is the daughter of Koga Karai. She is currently in hiding.

### Future

It is known that Shen will eventually be succeeded by his son, Oda Gikoku. He is the first Gikoku since Origin to be recorded on having black skin, an extremely rare phenomenon in Kylotean society.

### Illegitimate Family Members

Kenji Kaneko was the bastard son of Kusari Gikoku. He took over Kusari's role after his death. He was reported to have been killed by Solgus. It is unknown if he had any children.

Touken Gikoku is the bastard son of Touma Gikoku. He was named after his father.

Seishin Gikoku is the son of Touken Gikoku. He was named as such as a reminder of his father and grandfather's anger at the rest of the Gikoku family.

### Secret Family Members

Saga Gikoku was the son of Natsumi Gikoku. He chose not to inherit the throne. Saga later became a ronin.

Etsuko Gikoku is the son of Saga Gikoku. Knowing of his heritage, Etsuko chose not to pursue the throne. In an agreement with his father and his wife, Etsuko chose to hide his own son by changing hus last name to match Enoshima own name. Etsuko changed his last name to "Enoshima" to completely obscure the true heritage of Natsumi Gikoku, in the hopes that one day a trueborn Gikoku will come into existence.

Tanzar-Ion Enoshima is the current heir to the Kylotean throne. Should he die, heritage would pass on to his first-born son, Angel-Ion.
