Personality
Ikkuu's positive attitude
Ikkuu has shown quite optimistic personality so far.

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]

Story
UQ Holder 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 Yukihime 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]
