konoe kaoru

A tomboyish athlete, Kaoru was haunted by her past experiences on the track team. She unlocked her Gate of Close Combat, which amplifies her natural physical abilities to extraordinary levels, enabling her to set a sprinting world record so unbelievable that it was disqualified. Eager to join A.E.G.I.S., she saw it as an opportunity to use her powers freely and to 'win Ukiya from Ruriko.' When battling Invaders, she wears her PE uniform—a white shirt with her class tag and blue bloomers. Her combat techniques include 'Kaoru Punch' and 'Kaoru Kick,' along with other self-named close combat styles. Her incredible strength and ability to lift and throw heavy objects, reminiscent of Wonder Woman or Supergirl, are showcased in her Hustle move. Her Gate color is blue, just like Shun's.
