Shota Kihaku

Shota Kihaku is a young mage trying to make his way in the world. He is the unwitting creator of Netami Kihaku, whom shares Shota's mind with him. In addition to Netami, Shota has created several other entities as well, who similarly share his mind (see below). Shota greatly fears and despises Netami, and seeks to undermine his creation at every turn.

Skills & Abilities
Elemental Magic: Shota has displayed a knowledge of varying elemental spells. Most notable is his ability to cast the basic Blizzard, Fire and Thunder spells, of Final Fantasy lore. He has developed these spells to near perfection, and is capable of producing stunning effects with such basic spells.

Segmentation: Shota has learned the ability to segment his mind, separating his emotions and transforming them into powerful entities. Each entity Shota creates of his emotions is said to represent a "path" that Shota himself may follow. Entities formed of an emotion may not necessarily embody it perfectly (Gekido being the most notable example) but are more prone to it, the closer Shota feels towards it, and gain strength as he feeds them the emotion. This is a double edged sword, as it allows Shota to take a back-seat in battle to hand the fight over to a far more capable combatant, but it also means Shota must keep his emotions constantly in check, lest an entity gain sufficient strength to take over.

Plot Involvement
Shota was present at the merging of the worlds. He had met with the young Naoki and the Fire Spirit Adura on a train bound for Central city. Upon arrival, however, the city was in notable chaos, due to Tifa's Heartless laying waste to the town. Shota attempted to fend off the Heartless for a time, but his meagre strength proved insufficient. As such he transformed into Genkaku who produced an illusion to shield his comrades from the Heartless. When it became apparent that this was not sufficient, Genkaku attempted to transform into a more battle-ready entity. Instead, Netami seized his chance at a moment of weakness and wrested control of Shota's body from him. Netami immediately set about sealing away Tifa's darkness within her, but it was too late. The Heartless had broken the strings of the world too greatly and the world crumbled into nothingness. Tifa was able to shield the group with a last ditch effort, sending them to the new world, of which all the remnants of the destroyed worlds converged.

Netami had arrived in control, and immediately went about to prepare himself to take over this new world, leaving Shota out of the spotlight for some time. However, from time to time, Shota was able to break free and wrest control away from Netami, attempting to flee London in order to slow Netami's ambitions. During one such escapade, Shota encounteredLelouch. He let slip clues as to Netami's deeper connection to Shota that intrigued Lelouch, prompting him to use his Geass on Shota, to convince him to join him. This attempt was interrupted, however, by Kataki Doragon, who broke into the warehouse in which they'd met in an attempt to shield his employer from Lelouch, as well as assassinate the emperor..

However, Lelouch had successfully used his Geass to force Shota to follow him to Central.city, where he met him once more to convince him to join him, threatening Shota with death if he did not. However, Kataki pursued Shota once more and broke into Lelouch's lair, forcing Lelouch to flee. Shota attempted to try and stop him, but failed. This was their last meeting, as the renewed order of the Black Knights was put down not long after.

After this, Netami Kihaku took control of Shota once more, and Shota was unable to break free until just shortly before the liberation of Viridian City. Unfortunately, as Netami had just broken into the Viridian Gym, weakened by his battle for control, Shota was no match for the leader of Team Rocket, who took him hostage and relied on the assistance of Skie Demiji to bail him out.

Despite his protests, Skie then proceeded to drag Shota out of the gym, and back to her place, where she played the gracious, if forceful host, deciding to take Shota to meet Dyre. Having encountered the vampire in the past, and knowing her relationship to Netami, Shota was against the idea, but was tricked through a shadow portal into the meeting anyways. It was short lived. In the space of about five minutes, Shota managed to turn his new friend into an enemy, using information Skie had given him just minutes before, against her, creating a tremendous thunderclap to deafen the Imp, attacking her extremely sensitive hearing.

However, Shota eventually reconciled with Skie, after barely saving her from an assassination attempt. The reconciliation was short lived, however, as Shota transformed back into Netami not long after and he proceeded to go to defend London from the Necromancer's invasion.
