Her birth name is Hozumi ( 穂積) and she was named Mumei by Biba when he "saved" her as a child. Constant fighting can leave her sleepy and like Ikoma, she requires blood to stop herself from attacking other people. She became a Kabaneri through a surgical operation as the result of her brainwashing by Biba, making her believe unless she became stronger, she would also end up like her mother. She is revealed to be a Kabaneri as well as a very strong and agile fighter, capable of killing dozens of Kabane with ease. 'No name') Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi (Japanese) Janice Kawaye (English) A mysterious and anonymous girl who boards the hayajiro Kotetsujo and appears at Aragane Station. Ikoma is the lead protagonist of the Kabaneri series. Ikoma makes a promise to Mumei to someday turn her back into a human as he failed to do so in his childhood for his sister. Ikoma and Mumei are often fighting alongside each other against many Kabane and work exceedingly well as a duo. He gains incredible strength and endurance, even shrugging off gunfire and being bitten by Kabane multiple times. After becoming a Kabaneri, his fighting prowess increases. He is able to prevent the virus from reaching his brain by blocking his carotid arteries, transforming him into a human/Kabane hybrid, a Kabaneri.
When Aragane Station is invaded by Kabane, Ikoma is able to successfully test his piercing gun, killing a Kabane with the bullet destroying the metal cage protecting its heart, but is unfortunately bitten in the process. He is very intelligent and a great craftman, even going as far as to invent and create a piercing gun with enough strength to break the metal cage around a Kabane's heart. He and his good friend Takumi developed a bolt gun-like weapon called a piercing gun in order to defeat the Kabane. Assisted by Mūmei ( 無名, "Nameless"), another Kabaneri who appears to help them, Ikoma and the other survivors of the station board a hayajirō named Kōtetsujō ( 甲鉄 城, "Iron Fortress") and depart to seek shelter elsewhere, fighting the hordes of kabane along the way.Ĭharacters Ikoma ( 生駒) Voiced by: Tasuku Hatanaka (Japanese) Robbie Daymond (English) A young man who makes a living as a steamsmith at Aragane Station. A young engineer called Ikoma uses the opportunity to test with success his anti- kabane weapon, the "piercing gun" ( ツラヌキ 筒, tsuranuki zutsu), but is infected in the process, although he manages to resist the virus and become a Kabaneri ( かばね人), a human- kabane hybrid. One day, a hayajirō hijacked by the kabane crashes into Aragane Station and they overrun the city. People access the stations and transport wares between them with the help of fortified steam locomotives ( 駿城, hayajirō).
On the island country Hinomoto ( 日ノ本), people have built fortress-like "stations" to shelter themselves from these creatures. Unfortunately, most melee weapons and the steam-pressure guns used by the bushi ( 武士, "warriors") are not very effective against them. Kabane are aggressive, undead creatures that cannot be defeated unless the glowing golden heart, which is protected by a layer of iron, is pierced, or an important body part is completely severed (such as the head). A mysterious virus appears during the Industrial Revolution that transforms infected humans into Kabane ( かばね, "corpses") and rapidly spreads.
