Katsuya

Light Novel

**Katsuya** is a young Hunter, and a member of Drankam. He is recognized as one of the most talented hunters in Drankam, achieving spectacular growth as a hunter, which brought him the admiration of many and the hatred of others.

## Appearance

Katsuya's most attractive feature, aside from being a talented young hunter and having a burning passion for justice is his appearance. It is said that the leader of Drankam specifically raised Katsuya along with his appearance and charms to increase allies and subordinates within the gang. Which without a doubt, works perfectly as we can see girls fawn over him day and night. It goes without saying that another factor in his charms is his undeniable talent with the gun as we can see him attract some hunter individuals with it, which in turn, gives more clout to Drankam.

## Personality

He believes that hunters should always help each other and tries to rush to the aid of hunters pinned by monsters, regardless of how ready he is for the actual fight. This also bites him when he's placed in charge of multiple teams of hunters, as his insistence on helping everyone results in orders being cancelled halfway and confusion among the ranks, leading to many other young hunters dying under his watch. He suffer from chronic Hero Syndrome tends to blind him to downright suicidal circumstances or how to fix his own failures that would help him become a better hunter, instead rebounding his trauma and effort into trying to one-up Akira or continue to try to prove himself to greater extents. This just puts the problem on repeat and endangers those around him more.

## Abilities

### Gifted

Unlike Akira, whose greatest virtue is his adaptability, Katsuya is naturally talented in handling weapons and in combat in general.
This, added (unknowingly) to the support of the second Alpha, made Katsuya's growth meteoric, being considered the most talented and successful hunter in all Drankam.

## Relationships

### Yumina & Airi

His teams he respects them and will listen to what they have to say their the one who knock so sense into him sometimes quite literally because actions and words and hot blood personality will lead into trouble monster or other hunters(Akira).

### Elena & Sara

Katsuya admires Elena and Sara for their abilities as well as their kindness. Whenever he meets them he seeks their advice and recognition.

### Shikarabe

He does not like shikarabe for seeing him a dead weight

### Akira

Katsuya sees in Akira his natural nemesis, since he is the complete opposite of Katsuya, Akira achieves great feats alone, he does not feel remorse when murdering someone and is completely indifferent to the people around him.

He's envious of Akira's alleged battle prowess and continually compares himself to him, desiring more power every time Akira performs some amazing feat. Unbeknownst to him, Akira is equally critical of his own skills due to his reliance on Alpha and also, Akira is aware that Katsuya is far more talented than him.

### Sheryl

Since he saw her, Katsuya felt an immediate attraction for Sheryl, which caused the jealousy of his companions. This attraction is so strong that a few words from Sheryl are enough to lift Katsuya's spirits and he tends to believe her words blindly.

For her part, Sheryl is only interested in the information she can get from Katsuya, this in order to help and please Akira.
