Keita is a seventeen-year-old high school student who, following a chance reunion with his childhood friend Hinoki, finds himself recruited as a Head Diver for Akamatsu Industries. He differs significantly from the typical mecha pilot seen in most anime, being rather awkward and prone to panicking easily. However, on multiple occasions, he demonstrates his willingness to place himself in danger to protect those he cares about. He exhibits especially high readings as a Dual Kind, and at one point is even able to pilot a Neuronoid by himself. This capability results from a transplant of Dura mater he received as an infant, due to a serious head injury, from a woman named Laurier Noir. Although he shows an attraction to several girls throughout the series, he is especially fond of Hinoki, and makes no secret of his desire to pursue a relationship with her, despite the rather apathetic attitude she often displays towards him.
