Age: 15 Team: Kogarasumaru Road: Wing Road Status: Sky King candidate After Sora's betrayal: Road: Hurricane Road Status: Storm King Known as Ikki (イッキ?) by his friends and also called Babyface, he is a free-spirited AT rider with a natural affinity for the sky. Introduced to ATs by the Noyamano family, whom he lives with following his parents' deaths, Ikki eventually forms Kogarasumaru and challenges the Trophaeum. He is often characterized as a crow due to a small crow named Kū nesting in his hair. Ikki can see the Wing Road, and his peers consider him the best candidate to become the next Sky King. He possesses two passive abilities: Hawk Eye and Trick Pass, which allow him to survey an area easily and utilize any part of it. Both traits are essential for a potential Sky King. Training under Sora, he learns to harness the wind and obtains the incomplete Wind Regalia, enabling swift movement and flight, though he cannot fully utilize its destructive power. The regalia is stolen by Sora and Nike, antagonists harboring a grudge against Sleeping Forest. This leaves Ikki despondent until Kazu reveals Spitfire’s message after his death, questioning if Ikki has truly "lost his wings." Subsequently, Ikki is proclaimed the "Storm King of the Hurricane Road" by his principal in Chapter 169. His tuner, Kururu Sumeragi, promises to complete a new regalia for him. Recently, the Gram Scale Tournament began, but it was revealed that Ikki failed to submit the final registration. However, Kazu found a way to gain them entry by challenging Falco, the former Fang King and a member of the original Sleeping Forest. After defeating Falco’s team, which was a computerized version of the first Sleeping Forest, Kogarasumaru received Falco’s "eternal seed" and entered the tournament. Ikki is an upbeat and eccentric person, fitting well into the Air Gear universe. He loves eating meat, often deprived of it at the Noyamano household by his sisters. He is rash, impulsive, and determined to do things his way. In battle, he can be unpredictable or serious and cold, which intimidates others. Ikki is deeply passionate about Air Trekking, caring for his ATs meticulously. His mind is constantly on Air Trekking; during a Kyoto trip, he focuses on figuring out a 'Windmill Theory' rather than noticing Ringo’s affection. Though his attitude may seem lowlife, suitable for his gangster-like persona, Ikki often thinks beyond others’ expectations and can provide profound insights. For instance, during the Pomtemkin brothers' battle, Ikki devised a plan causing initial friction within Kogarasumaru but had a solution around the matter. He is adept at spotting small details, such as noticing that Kazu’s ATs were the most worn out among them. He is developing a new skill, as Kururu noticed his AT was worn out. On the day of the battle between Sleeping Forest and Genesis, Ringo revealed her true feelings for Ikki while dressed as Croissant Mask. Shocked, Ikki realizes his obliviousness to Ringo’s love. During their battle, he struggles to concentrate and ultimately recognizes Ringo’s unwavering support. Recently, it was revealed that Ikki’s new trick, "Null Wind," combines the powers of Kogarasumaru’s major riders, creating a windstorm that neutralizes Wing Road riders' tricks. With this, Ikki wins his battle against Sleipnir.
