Kyouta Asujibashi

"Wha...what's happening to me?"

- Kyouta Asujibashi Kyouta Asujibashi is a major character of the story, "Highschool DxD: King's Conquest." He is a second-year at Kuoh Academy, and a member of the Occult Research Club, where he is Rias Gremory's Rook, alongside fellow peerage member Koneko Toujou.

Also known as the "demon child" because of his deformed arm, Kyouta has been bulled and ostracized for the majority of his life, finding only solace in the company of Koneko, whom he quickly became friends with. It wasn't until the start of his second year that they became a couple.

Kyouta is also known as the Fafnir Knight, due to his artificial Sacred Gear, which was the result of countless years research by Mioko Kotowagatari and her partner, in hopes that they could discover the secrets to immortality, as well as transcendence to a higher plane. As a result, it has aptly been named the Holy Grail, containing various portions of samples obtained from dragons, most notably Fafnir, who's held the most power.

Appearance
Kyouta is a young teenager with snow-white hair and gray eyes, having tanned skin and a muscular build. He wears various outfits through out the story, but commonly dresses in his Kuoh School uniform, though he wears a yellow hoodie over it. His right arm is also wrapped in bandages, in order to conceal his demonic limb.

His right arm, when shown, reveals silvery armored skin with a glowing emblem found in the back of the hand, and the fingers becoming sharpened claws.

Personality
Kyouta, for the most part, is a kind and gentle person, and rather dislikes violence. If he can help it, he would rather not get involved in a fight, and does not strike back against his aggressors. This trait has caused many people to bullying him, especially those who are aware of what his arm looks like underneath the bandages, but he doesn't let it get to him. Inwardly, however, he is deeply pained and saddened by how his arm alienates everyone away from him, and wishes that they would look past one's obvious features and instead by how they are.

Despite his aversion to violence, he is not completely pacifistic, and will fight if need to be to protect his friends. Like Issei, he does not take others insulting his friends, and peerage members, and is visibly enraged. Koneko describes him as one who does like violence, but walks hand in hand with it. It bests fits him, as while he is against hurting others, he won't hesitate to beat down anyone who even so much as insults the people he cares about. One such example was when Riser insulted Issei, and ordered Mirai to attack him, only for Kyouta to intervene, and retaliate, warning Riser than if he even so much as lays a hand on his friends, Rias' fiance or not, he will beat him down. This trait has earned him loyalty and admiration from his peerage members.

Kyouta can be considered to be the polar opposite to Issei. He is not perversed in any way, in is instead flustered when he sees something deemed in inappropriate in any way. He is also clueless on what he can do to make Koneko happy, having never been in a relationship before, and asks for advice from various people, including Issei, though this often leads to Konkeo punching the brunette, due to some of his perverse suggestions.

"I don't remember much about my past... all I remember about me with certainty is that this arm was given to me in order to protect the people I cherish."

"No more games... GIVE ME POWER!"
