The Character Sheet for Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon. Needs More Love and is expected to get it as the anime airs.

Tori "Impossible" Aoi (Voiced by Jun Fukuyama)
Protagonist of the series, Tori Aoi's a carefree young man of utterly average talents. He was placed as President of the Musashi Ariadust Academy Student Council because he thought it'd be easy to control, and even recognizes himself as a poor leader. He doesn't seem to care much, and enjoys his role at his own leisure. He knows a lot of strip jokes and usually plays the idiot. Tori is also the energy of Class 3-Plum, literally: he acts like a living mana battery that can recharge and supply his companions with unlimited reserves, controlling a quarter of Musashi's ether supply, thanks to being one of two viceroys in the city. -
 * Buxom Is Better - He certainly thinks so; in fact, when he writes down a love letter confession to P-01s, his classmates are surprised he doesn't mention her bust size in describing the automaton's "positive traits".
 * Dark and Troubled Past
 * Kicked Upstairs
 * Genki Boy: He literally does not know the meaning of "depressed"..
 * Perpetual Smiler
 * Heart Is an Awesome Power: His support powers don't mean much to his friends when they reside in the city and academy grounds of Musashi, as these places are rife with ether for their daily needs and training. Outside Musashi, however, Tori is the key to success, as he can supply his allies with infinite ether reserves to continue fighting without worry.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: He's Lelouch/Zero! Though in this series, he's behaving much more like Kakeru Daichi, and he supports oppai.
 * Heroic BSOD:.
 * Large Ham
 * Non-Action Guy: Not the useless kind, but he's plenty lacking in the combat field.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: Despite all that perversion, Tori's quite sharp, to wit:

 * A-Cup Angst: With a damn good Tear Jerker reason, too.
 * Bifauxnen: A swift Deconstruction: her transgender backgound has left her in this position permanently. She initially wanted to help her family through this, due to being an only child and only males being accepted for succession of the family name, but stopped partway through when her father was dismissed as a vassal. Hence, she ended up not actually being male, but having a flat chest. To the viewer, however, this only complicates her pronoun usage.
