Kimishima, Kunihiko

君島邦彦

Kimishima is Kazuma's friend and supporter. He is a businessman who frequently uses his connections to obtain valuable information, and it was through these connections that he met Kazuma. Although he lacks alter powers, he is often willing to place himself in dangerous situations, such as defending the Lost Ground from a HOLY crackdown. A running joke in the series is that every vehicle he acquires is either unintentionally destroyed by Kazuma's actions or by another Alter User. He has a crush on Ayase Terada. In the anime, he is severely injured and later dies from wounds inflicted during a conflict with HOLY, specifically Darth, an event that drives Kazuma virtually insane with anger and grief. In the manga, he is alive and well, now married to Ayase Terada. He first appears in Episode 1.
