A Certain Magical Index/Characters/Kiharas

This page is for the Kiharas, the family of Mad Scientists who (for the most part) work for Academy City.

Gensei Kihara


"Voiced by: Binbin Takaoka"

Head of the infamous Kihara family. He is. He is also responsible for beginning the Level 6 Shift Project.


 * Absent-Minded Professor: He himself admits to having a bad habit of becoming so excited when an experiment gives unexpected results, he stops paying attention to everything else. This has literally blown up in his face on more than one occasion.
 * Affably Evil: He never loses his grandfatherly demeanor, even when fighting.
 * Big Bad / Man Behind the Man: Arguably one for the Railgun series.
 * Body Double: He uses one in the Daihaseisai arc to avoid capture.
 * Combo-Platter Powers: :
 * Blow You Away:
 * An Ice Person:
 * Frickin' Laser Beams:
 * Telepathy:
 * X-Ray Vision:
 * Cyborg: Due to injuries caused by his experiments, most of his body is now cybernetic. This includes his right arm, which can be detached.
 * Evil Old Folks
 * Graceful Loser:
 * Hive Queen:
 * Hyper Awareness: Due to spending a long time immersed in the dark side of Academy City, he's become quite good at figuring out when people trying to deceive him. This allows him to detect and react to 's trap.
 * It Runs in The Family: All of his relatives are evil and/or manipulative just like him in some ways.
 * Lack of Empathy: What's worse is that he gleefully let hand themselves over to be used in his experiments, and he proceeds to mess them up in some way or another.
 * Mad Scientist
 * Meaningful Name: "Gensei" literally translates to "Illusory Life." It can also be read as "Primitive/Primeval".
 * Out-Gambitted:
 * Perpetual Smiler: IS ALWAYS SMILING, since he has absolutely no remorse for his actions.
 * Talking Is a Free Action: Averted. When he gets excited over, he rambles on about how he needs to observe the situation, allowing his captive to escape.

Amata Kihara


"Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara"

Commander of the Hound Dogs black-ops unit who serves directly under Aleister Crowley, Amata is a sadistic scientist, and the one who originally discovered Accelerator and taught him how to control his power.


 * Awesomeness By Analysis: He easily exploits Accelerator's weak points with surprisingly simple logic. (i.e. Pulling back his punch right before it connects to avoid a vector redirect, or rewriting sound vectors with a whistle to counter a vacuum blast from Accelerator).
 * Badass
 * Badass Labcoat
 * Badass Normal: He's a Level 0 with absolutely no powers whatsoever...and is fully capable of kicking Accelerator's ass. Take a few minutes and let that sink in...
 * Curb Stomp Battle: He knows virtually every aspect of Accelerator's power. Their happy reunion was completely one-sided.
 * Evil Mentor: His methods of teaching Accelerator on how to control his power? By regularly kicking the shit out of him and torturing him. When he was just a kid.
 * Face of a Thug: He certainly doesn't look like a scientist...
 * Genius Bruiser
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Prince Ali has returned!
 * Hoist by His Own Petard:
 * In Love with Your Carnage: Gets very impressed when Accelerator slaughters a bunch of his mooks without using his powers.
 * Lack of Empathy
 * Misanthrope Supreme: Because he finds all humans to be nothing more than garbage, has no effect on him, since he can't technically bear her any ill will.
 * Tattooed Crook: He certainly looks like one.
 * Unwitting Pawn: Is completely unaware of the Magic Side. During Vento of the Front's attack on Academy City, Aleister Crowley used him to

Byouri Kihara
One of the three Kiharas sent to attack Baggage City in New Testament Volume 4.


 * Badass Transplant: She has transplanted Dark Matter into her body. Under normal conditions, it allows her to walk and heal rapidly from injuries. When she removes the limiter, it allows her to transform into a variety of cryptid-themed forms.
 * Evil Cripple: Being a Kihara, the evil goes without saying. However, she only pretends to be unable to walk to make people let down her guard.
 * Healing Factor: Thanks to her Dark Matter implants.
 * Off with His Head:
 * Meaningful Name: "Byouri" means pathology.
 * Super Wheelchair: Her wheelchair is armed with a machine gun, cannon and machete-like blade, and the wheels can transform into spider-like legs. It's also marked with "Made in Kihara".
 * Voluntary Shapeshifting: By using the full potential of Dark Matter, she can transform her body into forms modelled after various cryptids. These include: Skyfish (her arm grows barbs that can be shot with a force greater than a sniper rifle), Yeti (her arm becomes massive and furry, capable of crushing a shipping container), Little Grey (her limbs expand to a grotesque extent, seemingly giving her a psychic power of causing explosions) and Loch Ness Monster (her entire body grows into a dinosaur-like form).
 * Wounded Gazelle Gambit: She pretends to be a helpless, kindly woman to make her enemies drop their guard.

Ransuu Kihara
One of the three Kiharas sent to attack Baggage City in New Testament Volume 4.


 * Ironic Death:
 * Master of Illusion: He can create realistic illusions using cocktails of chemicals that affect emotions.
 * Meaningful Name: "Ransuu" means "Random number".

Enshuu Kihara
One of the three Kiharas sent to attack Baggage City in New Testament Volume 4.


 * All Your Powers Combined: She has access to the combined thought patterns and skills of over 5000 people, including Kiharas.
 * Awesomeness By Analysis: She learned advanced science without any formal education, just by studying everything available to her in one room.
 * Book Dumb: She was raised without any formal education. While she learned a suprising amount on her own, she doesn't know basic mathematics or katakana.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: She wears different boots on each foot and her stockings are torn in a different way on each leg.
 * In the Blood: Her upbringing demonstrates this. She was abducted at a young age by someone who wanted to be smarter than a Kihara, even if it meant forcing a Kihara to not learn anything. However, Enshuu still demonstrated the Kihara love for science and lack of morals.
 * Meaningful Name: "Enshuu" means "Circumference".

Kagun Kihara

Noukan Kihara
A golden retriever who became a Kihara when his brain was modified to have human-level intelligence. He is among the most influential of the Kiharas, and works directly for Aleister.


 * Combining Mecha: He personally enjoys these, and he uses the Anti-Art Attachment - a collection of powerful weapons that link together around him.
 * The Dragon: To Aleister.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Unlike virtually all other Kiharas, he has a strict code of ethics and prefers to minimize collateral damage. That said, he won't hesitate to get his paws dirty if he absolutely must.

 * The Hunter: His main role is to combat and kill immortal beings.
 * Kill the God:
 * Meaningful Name: "Noukan" means "Brainstem".
