X (manga)/Characters

If you want to know more about the characters of X 1999, this is the place.

It is to be noted that characterisation and purpose are often different whether it's the manga, the TV series or the film. If the main trio, the premises and the whole plot in general are grossly the same from one media to another, the support cast often sports notable differences as you will see.

As always with Character pages, SPOILERS AHEAD!!

Kamui Shiro


The Hero of the series is a dark-haired teenager whose destiny is to fight for the eventual fate of Earth: either it is destroyed to be reborn without humanity, either it shall live on as it is. In short, he is a stock Messiah.

After living his childhood in Tokyo, making friends with Fuma and his sister Kotori, his mother, Toru Magami, towed him away to Okinawa so they could live in peace until

After coming back to Tokyo, he gradually meets the Dragons of Heaven, fighting with Arashi, Sorata and Mauve Shirt Daisuke, Aoki's nephew. Behaving like a Jerkass at first, he only does so in order to keep people away, knowing beforehand that his fate will be far from all pink, sparkles and flowers. After meeting Princess Hinoto and eventually bonding with his fellow Dragons, he tries to recuperate his Shinken, an Empathic Weapon

Despite his rather classical characterisation, Kamui still keeps the spotlight to himself due to his own complex personality. His frail and scrawny appearance (perhaps for Yaoi-slash purposes) seems almost a joke in comparison to his crushing responsibilities. Yet, his reactions are pretty realistic and quite akin to the ones a Real Life teenager would display.


 * Adventures in Coma Land: Right after losing to Fuma.
 * Bishonen
 * Break the Cutie: Like many other characters but even more so for being The Chosen One.

 * Messianic Archetype

Fuma Monou


The taller and stronger childhood friend of Kamui is actually destined to be his Evil Twin of sorts, depending on who Kamui chooses to side with.

Both Fuma and Kotori, his sister, lived happily in Tokyo and were friends with Kamui until their mother Saya died a horrific death upon. Fuma then went to High School and became a famed basketball player. Upon meeting Kamui again, he tries to rekindle with him but, since Kamui wants to protect him, his attempts meet an icy response. After Kamui makes his choice, Fuma makes a major Face Heel Turn and goes to Kanoe in order to take his place amongst the Dragons of Earth.


 * Authority Equals Asskicking: Despite what many male viewers may contend, blatant Ho Yay doesn't deprive you from being Badass and from being able to kick major ass.
 * Badass Longcoat: And how!.
 * The Big Guy
 * Bishonen
 * Evil Counterpart: To Kamui.
 * Eyes of Gold: In the manga.

 * "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Often does this to Kamui as well as his companions.

Kotori Monou


The resident Shrinking Violet is Kamui's childhood friend and who has a (reciprocated) crush on him.

Like Fuma, Kotori was scarred for life upon watching the gory death of her mother. However, unlike Fuma and Kamui, she doesn't fight physically. Psychologically and physically fragile and pretty much defenseless, she snaps and breaks down upon. As foreseen by Hinoto and Kanoe. She and Kamui share a romantic bound before her untimely death.

 * Break the Cutie
 * The Chick
 * Damsel in Distress: Not her fault. Look below.
 * Ill Girl: Has a severe heart condition.
 * The Ophelia: She loses her mind after seeing.
 * Shrinking Violet: Sweet-tempered, serious, discreet and rather shy. She was more outspoken in the TV series, though: Kamui shows her his Jerkass Facade but she still tries to re-befriend him, telling him about her dream of becoming a kimono designer able to use indigo dye, which is Serious Business in Japan.
 * Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Hence her fate.
 * Unlucky Childhood Friend: To Kamui but somewhat subverted at one point.
 * Waif Prophet
 * Faux Symbolism: A certain scene in The Movie, in which
 * Yamato Nadeshiko: One in training.

Sorata Arisugawa


The tall, upbeat, goofy Lancer of the Dragons of Heaven talks with a distinctive Kansai accent.

Despite being taken from his parents at an early age and, he constantly acts friendly, generous and protective, especially towards Kamui and his initially unresponsive crush, Arashi. Raised and trained by Buddhist monks in the Koya shrine, he primarily uses thunder and light-based attacks as well as some holy magic.

He eventually meets his fate in both the anime and the film. The manga also hints a similar end for him.


 * Badass: Especially if Kamui or Arashi are threatened, in which case he'll be ruthless.
 * Bi the Way: It is made pretty obvious that Arashi is his one true love, but he gets pretty flirty with Kamui in the early chapters of the manga. He even comments while Kamui and Arashi are on either side of him how grateful he is to be between "two beauties".
 * The Big Guy
 * Chivalrous Pervert
 * The Idiot From Osaka: Has a heavy Kansai Regional Accent.
 * The Lancer: To Kamui.

 * Shock and Awe
 * Warrior Monk
 * Shock and Awe
 * Warrior Monk

Arashi Kishu


Beautiful but dark, frigid and distant, this Lady of War is one of the first to arrive in Tokyo and meet the Princess Hinoto.

Orphaned at a young age, she was found in the streets and then raised by Miko priestesses (who actually were the friends of her Missing Mom, a former comrade of them) and eventually became the Hidden Priestess of the Ise temple. A very skilled swordswoman with the ability to summon her sword from her left hand. She initially coldly rejects the rather forward propositions of Sorata but, like Kamui, she gradually warms up to him and reciprocates. But consummating their love implied. Ultimately, she performs.

In the anime,  but in the manga. Her terminal fate is different in the film than in the TV series:.


 * Action Girl
 * Badass: One able to hold her own alone against Kamui himself deserves the title, especially if she's female!
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: Thanks to Sorata's upbeat personality.
 * Emotionless Girl: Initially.
 * With a side dish of
 * Hime Cut
 * Lady of War
 * Orphan's Ordeal: Her early childhood was tough to say the least...

Subaru Sumeragi


Like his Arch Nemesis, Seishiro Sakurazuka, he hails from another CLAMP work: Tokyo Babylon where his origins are explained with more details. Appearing as a stock Bishonen, he mourns his dead sister that was killed by Seishiro.

Unlike the other Dragons of Heaven, he is rather reluctant to join the group and mostly goes on his own story arc that is actually the end of the one he started during Tokyo Babylon. Nevertheless, he significantly helped out during Kamui's Adventures in Coma Land and succeeded in healing his soul and bringing him back. His final showdown with Seishiro Sakurazuka leads to tons of Ho Yay and Foe Yay. In battle, he uses a mix of soul magic and arcana that he channels in cards.

His end is very different, depending on the media. In the Manga, ; in the film   and in the TV-series.

 * Tall, Dark and Handsome
 * Took a Level in Badass: Remember that shy, frail-looking kid from Tokyo Babylon?
 * Yaoi Guys: With Seishiro, oh yeah!

Karen Kasumi


A devoted Catholic call-girl, Karen appears sporadically at first before taking a more active role in the plot. She appears as a redhead bombshell.

Gifted with pyrotechnics, she is usually aloof towards everyone despite her benevolent disposition and her sensitivity. She forms an unrequited crush on Seiichiro Aoki and never acts on it out of respect for his wife and child. In the anime she eventually

 * Unrequited Love: Towards Aoki, who cares for her greatly but not in that way.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: With lingerie!

Yuzuriha Nekoi


A petite, fresh and naive 14 years-old girl that often lightens up the mood and is never seen without her spirit dog, Inuki, that is invisible to regular humans.

Bullied all her childhood long because no one could see her dog but her, she has sworn to never accept a man who couldn't see her pet. Ironically, the first man to see Inuki is none other than a Dragon of Earth: Shiryu Kusanagi. She immediately falls for him. She can turn Inuki into a sword when in battle and her pet will do anything to protect her. Upon battling Satsuki Yatoji in the anime, she loses her dog and gets horribly depressed. After getting a Hannibal Lecture from Fuma and Satsuki,.

In the film,. In the anime,.


 * Action Girl
 * All of the Other Reindeer: Was shunned by her schoolmates all her childhood long due to her special abilities.
 * Anguished Declaration of Love: In the anime, to Kusanagi.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: In the anime and in the manga, Fuma meant to kill her but her will to live alone was enough to repel him and she could eventually revive Inuki.
 * Chaste Teens: Variation. Despite being occasionally hit on by guys, her firm resolve to never accept a man who'd be unable to see Inuki makes her one of these... until she meets Kusanagi.
 * Friend to All Living Things
 * Genki Girl: A mild version of this. She is cheerful and happy-go-lucky but not to the point of being unable to focus on serious things.
 * Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Kusanagi who is easily twice her weight and towers high over her..
 * Joshikousei: Subverted. Despite being involved with an older guy, her schoolgirl status, although obvious, is never brought up as part of why he likes her, nor is it ever alluded to otherwise in story.
 * Magical Girl: Variation. She has all the characteristics but doesn't use actual magic.
 * Meet Cute: Her first meeting with Kusanagi in the anime and the manga fits this, slow motion, white feathers of fate and all. Also a case of What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic.
 * May-December Romance: With Kusanagi who is more than twice her age.
 * Naive Everygirl
 * School Uniforms Are the New Black: Subverted mid-story. She wears it all the time but Kusanagi buys her a new set of clothes once hers are too dirty to be worn.

 * Yukana: Her seiyuu in the movie and the CD dramas. Replaced by Kumi Sakuma in the anime series.

Seiichiro Aoki


The least seen member of the Dragons of Heaven, Seiichiro Aoki is the oldest of them. Married with a child, he is also a Wind Master who tutored his nephew Daisuke Saiki.

After discreetly and amiably divorcing his wife Shimako in order to protect her and their child Yuuka from the disaster of the upcoming battles, he works as a journalist and manga editor in his daily life. He bounds specifically with Karen upon interviewing her and comes to help her when she goes in his stead to battle Yuto Kigai,. He uses his power over wind in battle.

He appears as a brown-haired man in his mid-30's with glasses. Does that physical description look familiar?


 * Blow You Away: His signature power.
 * Dramatic Wind: Due to the above.
 * Hot Shoujo Dad: Oh, my...
 * Nice Guy: Mostly easy-going and non-aggressive. Unless you push his buttons, that is.
 * It's Not You, It's My Enemies: Why he left Shimako and Yuuka.

 * Satellite Character: The least developed of all Seven Seals. What a pity.
 * Ship Tease: With Karen.
 * Team Dad
 * Yamato Nadeshiko: A possible male example.
 * You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry: A very good example. He himself states that it's very hard to make him angry, but when you do...

Yuto Kigai


A very mannerly and well-groomed blond Public Service clerk, Yuto is one of the most amoral and cynical of the Dragons of Earth. Not much is known about him except that he is pretty happy to work for the Dragons of Earth. Additionally, he playfully flirts with his proteee Satsuki and sleeps regularly with Kanoe. In battle, he uses a long rope with a dagger at the tip that he uses like a whip.

His end is pretty similar in each of the three media. And none of them are pretty. (Except the manga, that is. For now, at least...)


 * Affably Evil: Very well-mannered and proper- one of the nicest, friendliest people you have ever met, yet almost completely amoral.
 * Badass and Child Duo: He's the Badass and Satsuki is the teenage girl.
 * Badass in a Nice Suit
 * Badass Longcoat: Which makes him look like a pimp according to Sorata...
 * Badass Bureaucrat: Works in the public service, uses water and his Weapon of Choice.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Too nice and polite to be good.
 * Blond Guys Are Evil: Or at least amoral.
 * Card-Carrying Villain
 * Chivalrous Pervert: Sleeps with Kanoe and flirts with Satsuki, but doesn't take advantage of the latter's crush on him.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * The Dragon: To Kanoe.
 * Handsome Lech
 * Kill It with Water and Making a Splash: Cut and pasted over to Kakyo stand-in Shogo in the film, but is the crux of his supernatural powers in the anime and manga.
 * Morality Pet: Subverted. His CD drama track reveals that Yuto has a little sister named Tomoe (in fact, said drama is presented as a message in her phone's answering machine), but even when the guy does genuinely love her and shows remorse for not being in contact with her, he still will continue in his villain ways.
 * Replacement Goldfish: Satsuki seems to be, for him, a stand-in for Tomoe.
 * Subordinate Excuse: To Kanoe.
 * Whip It Good: His Weapon of Choice.

Seishiro Sakurazuka


Along with Subaru, he hails from Tokyo Babylon and plays the end of his own story in X 1999. A one-eyed Bishonen, seldom seen without his Cool Shades, he and Subaru are established Yaoi Guys.

Like Subaru, he is not actually close to his fellows and pretty much follows his own path. However, his role in the awakening of Kamui and Fuma was determinant. He is also the murderer of Hokuto Sumeragi, Subaru's sister and holds an interesting relationship with his Hot Mom, Setsuka. He mostly takes on Subaru, his former lover and current Arch Nemesis, and uses an evil version of his powers which often includes Cherry Blossoms.

He dies

 * Mommy Issues: Oh, Seishirou.
 * Oedipus Complex: His relationship with his Hot Shounen Mom borders on the unhealthy...Yes that one.
 * Borders? It's straight spelled in the CD dramas, people. No evidence about sexual encounters, thankfully, but the Subtext is heavy..
 * Self-Made Orphan: Apparently standard practice in his family, considering the Sakurazukamori stuff.
 * Invisible to Gaydar
 * Tall, Dark and Snarky
 * The Other Darrin: Goes through this twice. Takehito Koyasu voices him in Tokyo Babylon, then Tohru Furusawa succeeds him in the X movie and CD dramas, and finally Otoya Kawai succeeds both of them in the TV series.
 * Yaoi Guys: With Subaru.
 * Yaoi Guys: With Subaru.

Satsuki Yatoji


A nerdy-looking Emotionless Girl, college-aged Satsuki is the youngest of all the Dragons of Earth and the only female of the group aside of Kanoe. She always look serious and is absolutely uninterested by the mundane world, finding solace only with her computers.

Born in a very wealthy family, she manifested her powers at an early age and can connect herself directly to computers by letting them invade her body with their cables. She spends most of her time connected to her giant PC, the Beast, that she got from Kanoe and that stripped her from the last remnants of interest in humans. She thoroughly lectures Yuzuriha upon battling her and. She also develops feelings for Yuto who is amused by her crush, even though he openly sleeps with Kanoe and doesn't really encourage her advances. This drives the Beast mad with envy. She uses the Beast for reconnaissance purposes and uses him to control electric cables as offensive weapons.

In the movie and anime, Satsuki dies upon trying to help Yuto against Seiichiro and Karen, impaled by the many cables of the Beast who refuses to lose her to anyone.


 * All Love Is Unrequited: The closest to affection that she ever seems to feel is for Yuto, who's much older and seems to treat her as a stand in for his sister Tomoe.
 * Blue Eyes-In the anime.
 * Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: And in her case, your body as well.
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Emotionless Girl: Due to her complete disinterest towards human beings as a whole.
 * Evil Genius
 * Hollywood Nerd-Type II.

 * Loners Are Freaks: Subverted. Despite her dismissive behaviour, she is appreciated by her fellows and other people in general.
 * Motive Rant: Upon battling Yuzuriha.
 * Meganekko
 * Replacement Goldfish: May be one for Yuuto, if we take his CD drama track in consideration.
 * Self-Made Orphan: In the TV series, she kills her Education Papa because he controlled her life WAY too much, using her powers to arrange his death in a car accident.
 * Shiny Midnight Black
 * The Stoic
 * Not So Stoic: In the movie, she screams and snaps when
 * The Spock: A quite classical example.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * Technopath

Nataku


A genderless, cybernetic clone of the dead granddaughter of a scientist, Nataku has pretty much no personality other than that of a lost child. He appears as your usual white-haired Bishonen.

He is first seen as being sustained in a glass chamber. After heading out to steal the Shinken from Kyogo Monou, he eventually joins the Dragons of Earth. Upon seeing just how much Fuma ressembles his father, he immediately takes him as a father figure and loves him unconditionally. He fights several times against Kamui, Yuzuriha and. He mainly uses fabric tendrils in battle.

He eventually dies upon merging with Fuma and becoming part of him to heal him, in the anime. He meets a similar end in the film and is killed by Fuma in the manga, partially because he interpretes His Only Wish as dying for Fuuma himself.


 * Barbie Doll Anatomy: Justified. He is supposed to be genderless due to his Gender Flip.
 * Emotionless Boy
 * Facial Markings
 * Flat Character: Due to his status as a clone.
 * Gender Flip: Was originally a girl but was turned into a boyish (but still genderless) figure upon being cloned.
 * Hermaphrodite
 * Ill Girl: Kazuki Tonjou, his original persona, was a very sickly little girl. Since she was destined to become a Dragon of Earth but died before her time, when Nataku was created as her clone by her Mad Scientist grandpa, he took her place.
 * Love Martyr: Arguably, to Fuma.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy

Shiyu Kusanagi


The bulky, towering and Badass Air Force agent is actually a Technical Pacifist who is inherently linked with the spirit of Earth. His characterisation is the most uneven between all three media of X 1999.

In both the anime and manga, he is actually the least aggressive and asocial of all the Dragons of Earth. He is the most reluctant to participate in the end of the world but joins in regardless even though he doesn't share his views with everyone else. His enemy Yuzuriha Nekoi develops romantic feelings for him.

In the anime, he protects Yuzuriha from his fellows various times and ultimately switches side. In the manga, she confesses to him, and he accepts her feelings, though he doesn't openly return them.

In the film, he is the most aggressive and violent of all and is nothing more than a Blood Knight who simply wants to kill the Dragons of Heaven. His relationship with Yuzuriha doesn't exist.

In battle, he mostly uses brute force and is able to shatter the ground open with one punch.


 * Ax Crazy: In the film.
 * Anti-Villain: Is actually the least anti-social of the Angels.
 * Badass: In all medias but put to the extreme in the film where he is a Blood Knight.
 * The Big Guy
 * Big Ol' Eyebrows: And how!

 * Bruiser with a Soft Center: Although the physically strongest of the Seven Angels, even more than Fuma himself, as well as being able to shatter the ground open with one punch, he is a very kind-hearted man indeed.
 * Capulet Counterpart: To Yuzuriha in the anime. A very, very rare male version of this trope.
 * Gentle Giant: Except in the film.
 * Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Yuzuriha. A lot!
 * Love Redeems: He eventually reciprocates Yuzuriha's feelings, despite their big age difference,.
 * Minion with an F In Evil: Feels no real animosity towards the Seven Seals nor towards humanity as a whole.
 * Redemption Equals Death
 * Technical Pacifist: Except in the film, he is not that much into fighting despite being a soldier.
 * Technical Pacifist: Except in the film, he is not that much into fighting despite being a soldier.

Kakyo Kuzuki


A frail and comatose young guy that seldom comes to his senses in the real world and spends most of his time in Comaland where he dreams about the future, a constant sad look on his face.

A dreamseer like Hinoto, he was sequestrated for a long time by ill-intentioned politicians. During one of his dreams, he meets Hokuto, Subaru's twin sister and falls in love with her. Upon seeing her eventual fate in his dreams, he breaks out of his coma and tries to save her but is shot by his jailers and put in a never ending coma. He also befriends Kotori in the dream space, )

In the manga, he is convinced to join the Dragons of Earth by Fuma after trying to prevent the murder of Kotori. In the anime, Fuma coerces him to manipulate Hinoto's dreams so as to mislead her predictions. But he eventually turns on Fuma on the urgings of Kotori and Hokuto. He eventually dies peacefully in his sleep and leaves for Heaven with his beloved Hokuto.


 * Adventures in Coma Land: All the time.
 * The Fatalist
 * Ill Boy
 * Lonely Rich Kid: Born in a very rich and traditional family, and also kept in isolation by politicians due to his bad health and enormous dream seeing powers.

 * Non-Action Guy: Due to his comatose state.

 * Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: He and Hokuto mix it with Star-Crossed Lovers, and also are among the saddest examples of the trope.
 * You Can't Fight Fate: He genuinly thinks so.

Princess Hinoto


A blind and crippled dreamseer, she is actually in charge of the whole political life of Tokyo and can see the future in her dreams. She appears as an albino Woman in White that possesses a wide range of psychic abilities and some power over Shikigami magic.

Although Hinoto has never once failed in her predictions, she was initially unable to determine the eventual path Kamui would take, so she tried to influence him to side with the Dragons of Heaven but Kanoe informed Kamui about his possibility to choose between the two. She functions mainly as the Dragons of Heaven's Mission Control and is able to use spells to see outside her hidden place. She also constantly fighting her Enemy Within.

In the manga, Hinoto is confronted directly by Sorata about her actions, yet the outcome is (still) not clear. In the TV-series,. In the film,


 * Blessed with Suck: The most powerful of the dreamseers, but her body simply can't keep up with such tremendous powers.

 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Is much older than what she seems.
 * Waif Prophet: Blind, dead, mute and crippled... Yes all of it.

Kanoe


The Seven Angels's counterpart to Hinoto is actually her younger sister. She is the one responsible for bringing the dragons of Earth all together and helps them in their mission by providing them with headquarters and material. She is a tall, dark-haired Femme Fatale with the customary long nails to hint at her evil.

Although being born in the same family as Hinoto, Kanoe isn't gifted with the power of dreamseeing but can enter the dreams of others. Hence, she was always treated as less important than her sister. She is mostly flirtatious and Affably Evil towards her companions. She has an open affair with Yuto and flirts occasionally with Satsuki. Despite claiming to hate Hinoto, her sister's death seems to affect her all the same.

In the film,. In the TV series,. In the manga,.

 * Arguably, with Kotori in The Movie. She was awfully touchy-feely with the unconscious girl, huh.

 * Noblewoman's Laugh: A truly scary one!

 * The Unfavourite: Hinoto has always been considered better due to her ability as a dreamseer, which she lacks.

"SEISHIROU: I wonder how old she was. I still am not completely sure. The one that always smiled quietly forever seemed to be a young girl..."
 * Dark Action Girl: Was the former Sakurazukamori.

"SETSUKA has an ikebana arrangement: Camellias. Red camellias. SEISHIROU: Your favorite flower. SETSUKA: I love it. I love camellias best when they fall (gets a dreamy look) It falls on the ground.... plop, like a human head. I love it."
 * The Ophelia: She often talks about things that look like nosense, then counteracts with something quite unsettling and does so smiling.

 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Trickster Mentor: To a degree, towards Seishirou. She's always playful and creepily sweet to him, specially in the CD dramas.
