Since his body is artificial he can swap it out for a younger or older model.
Personality[]
Ikkuu's positive attitude
Ikkuu has shown quite optimistic personality so far. He is more than often seen smiling, even telling other people to smile as well.[3] Ikkuu has also expressed kindness towards others, having calmed down the crying kids and then proceeded to fix their toy.[4] He didn't hesitate to explain to Touta about how things work in UQ Holder as well as giving him and Kuroumaru a warm welcome to the organization.[5]
History[]
At some point in past, Ikkuu took the same test to become the member of UQ Holder as Touta and Kuroumaru did. It has been said that it took him 4 months to clean out the cavern.[6]
He revealed that he was born 85 years ago, but when he turned 13 he was in an accident and rendered into a coma until he was given an artificial body. Since then he joined UQ Holder as thanks for their help and to defend the world he loves.
Story[]
Introduction Arc[]
Ikkuu takes the ball to fix it
Ikkuu appears for the first time at the base of UQ Holder. He is seen smiling as Gengorou Makabe introduces him to Touta Konoe and then listens to Touta and Gengorou's discussion about immortals.[7] Later, while Touta and Kuroumaru are undergoing the test to become UQ Holder members, Ikkuu is seen scolding Karin for scaring the kids. He takes the ball that Karin blew up and, through unknown means, he instantly fixes it. Ikkuu then tells Karin to smile more as she has a cute face, however, Karin brushes him off, telling Ikkuu to mind his own business as Evangeline didn't give her such instructions. At that moment, they hear a noise coming out of the well and much to Ikkuu's surprise, Touta and Kuroumaru come out of it. He then watches a short skirmish between Touta and Karin until Gengorou stops it. Ikkuu eventually welcomes Touta and Kuroumaru as new members and although he is taken aback when Touta reveals that he has no idea about UQ Holder's function, he explains the group's purpose - a shelter for all kinds of non-humans.[8]

He assists once Strong Hand brings in anti-mage tanks, destroying them with a single shot.
Fighting Fate Arc[]

Mahora Investigation Arc[]

In his 13-years old body, he infiltrates the Amano-Mihashira Academy City along others.[9] Ikkuu then appears during a lunch break, joining Touta and Kuroumaru along with Karin. He listens to Karin's explanations about the school as well as their mission and later watches as Michiel approaches them, eventually being challenged to a duel by Touta.[10]

Abilities[]
Unlike most of the other immortals apart of UQ Holder, Ikkuu was an immortal created using scientific developed dubbed "Cyberization". As such, most of his abilities and skills are based around using machines and tools which are related to modern technologies as apart of his fighting style. Although, he wasn't as strong as immortals such as Touta or Kuroumaru, following him uploading his mind into the internet and becoming controlled, he became a great threat to his former comrades able to even contend with even Juuzou.
