About Ikari Yaoroshi
Ikari Yaoroshi is one of Shiki's Rasetsu Academy classmates, a fierce fighter whose anger at the Momotaro runs deeper than the academy's rules allow. In the Nikko Kegon Falls Arc he makes the choice that drives the whole story: he leaves the academy to join the Oni Brigade, the rogue army that wants the Momotaro exterminated completely. Shiki's attempt to bring his friend back puts them on opposite sides of the war's hardest question.
Appearance
Ikari is a fierce-looking teenager with an intense, glaring expression that matches his name, 'Ikari' means anger, and he wears it openly. His uniform is rough-worn, his posture always forward, like a fighter halfway into the first step of a charge. Nothing about him suggests patience, because there is none.
Personality
Ikari is rage with a loyal heart inside it. His hatred of the Momotaro is total and personal, and the Oni Agency's discipline, protect, endure, follow the plan, chafes him like a leash. He is not cruel and he is not stupid; he simply believes the only honest answer to extermination is extermination back. That belief, and the Brigade's promise to act on it, pulls him out of the academy and into the war's hardest argument.
