Hidaka, Shurato

The show's main character and protagonist. Shurato is a hot-headed, reckless, and impatient 16-year-old. He is portrayed as having little patience or understanding of Tenkuukai's laws and inner workings, yet he is strong and pure-hearted. Like Gai, he is a martial arts master, and eventually becomes the most powerful of the Hachibushu and their de facto leader. His shakti and armor are both modeled after the lion, and his weapon is a vajra.
