Homura (Sekirei)

Homura, commonly known by his alias Kagari, is one of the main protagonists of the manga/anime series Sekirei. He is a Sekirei, designated #06, and works as a host club entertainer in an attempt to find a female Ashikabi. He has an unstable gender and there are few Ashikabi able to wing him. Ultimately, he becomes Minato Sahashi's sixth and final Sekirei.

He is voiced by Yuki Kaida in the Japanese version of the anime, Hiromi Hirata in the drama CD and by Leah Clark in the English version, the former of whom also voices Riki.

Biography[]

One of the residents of Izumo Inn, Homura goes by the alias of "Kagari" and works at a host club while concealing his identity as a Sekirei. He also is dedicated to his role as the Sekirei Guardian and wields flame abilities, protecting unmerged Sekirei from harassment from other humans or attacks by other Sekirei. Stated to be a prototype, his powers are extremely unstable and he has no fixed sex, though he identifies as male. Over time, his body begins to change sex in reaction to Minato and in despair, he attempts to either kill Minaka or himself. After being talked down by Minato and be emerged, he comes to accept himself.

Personality[]

Homura is calm, collected and described by those who know him more or less like Yasaka as a cool person with a good and gentle personality. When anxious he has a habit to start smoking. He can be, however, very quick-tempered when the subject involves Minaka, as he's aiming to kill him. A good example is when he couldn't resist the temptation to release his anger on Minaka's speaking doll during the third match. Also, when Minaka offers to cure Chiho from her "incurable" disease, Homura immediately rejects the idea because he believes that Minaka must be up to something. This hatred of Minaka seemed to stem from the fact that Minaka plays with the lives of Sekirei, and even after Minato wings him, Homura says that his goal of killing Minaka has not changed.

He starts as the most aloof member of the harem and refuses so strongly to accept Minato as his Ashikabi that Minato has to more or less wing him against his will to save Homura from being killed by his own flames. Sometime later, Homura realizes he has long stopped hating Minato and is falling as hard as the girls for him, but still doesn't show it openly. By the end of the series, Homura has fully accepted his love for Minato and no longer tries to deny or hide it around him and becomes more open with him than before.

Abilities and Powers[]

Homura has the ability to create, control and manipulate fire. He has a habit of smoking when anxious and lights his cigarettes with his own power. His name literally means "flame", referring to his element. He can give it the shape of a dragon, a snake, or cause it to appear as just a ball of fire. Before he was winged, he would constantly lose control of his power. Because of this, it almost consumed him a couple times, leaving him in danger. When he was winged by Minato, his powers were at the point where he couldn't control it at all.
