"I'll become the hell cat that will take over the Underworld!"

- Kaneko's Declaration Kaneko Toujou is a main male protagonist appearing in DxD Black Lamb. A member of the Toujou clan and one of the few Nekoshu who was created with the intent of repopulating the race. He is a descendant of Koneko Toujou which causes him to seek out Aurora Lucifer, believing him to be her top rival due to her being the descendant of Kuroka. After the Vampire Witch incident he becomes Aurora's knight and enrolls as a student in the middle-school division of Shitori Academy being 14 years old in age.

Appearance
Kaneko is a boy with spiky shoulder-length white hair and hazel colored eyes. Due to his constant training he is shown to have a athletic figure. He is one of the shortest males of the series being 4'6 in height. Enrolling as a student of Shitori Academy later adopts the typical uniform however outside of school he wears more casual clothing and during fight ninja-like outfits.

Because of his dragon ancestry he is shown to possess sharp black dragon-like nails and two black devil wings.

Personality
At the beginning of the series, Kaneko is noted to be loud mouthed, strong willed, and arrogant. He is someone who loves to fight and rushes into battles without concern for how it will affect or hurt others, shown when he clashes with Yami wanting to test out his newfound demon sword and later when he rushes to save Yami, without concern for Ex Gremory's and Aurora's plan. Aurora later explains that this is due to the fact that he believes he is the protagonist of his own story, believing that because of his ancestry with Issei Hyoudou and Koneko Toujou that he will take over the Underworld and that nothing can stand in his way which is why he typically rushes into battles with no strategy shouting his own name and insulting his opponents.

During their first rating game, Aurora manipulates these traits in order for Kaneko to help her reach her sister. However after suffering such a humiliating loss this is shown to completely break him, causing him to become a silent and timid individual until Yami and Aurora help break him out of his shell. After the incident he is shown to be much more humble, learning to strategize and work with others, taking into account his allies's strengths and weaknesses. While he still carries on his loud mouthed and strong willed traits Ex states that he was indeed changed after the battle.

Kaneko is shown despite his brash nature to care about others, shown when he tries to save Yami, and when he tries to help Aurora break from her engagement. He also expresses anger and states that he would fight Lord Lucifer himself if it would save Aurora, believing the two to be connected because of their heritage. He is known to tease Kuisha Abbadon, often playing childish pranks on her. He also has a great deal of respect for his ancestors, the former heroes of the Underworld to the point where he bowed when he met Riser Phenex.

During his first interaction seven of his younger siblings were following him playing instruments and flags during his arrival. Showing that they have a great deal of respect for him to what Yami describes to a abnormal degree.
