Basketball Jersey: Number 7     Height: 175 cm     Nickname: Aika, Ai-chan[2]     Birthday: 9th June     Position: Small Forward     Aikawa - often nicknamed as Aika - is well known as a genius in basketball. Most characters he comes across know of him and his powerful reputation. He transferred from Tendōji High to Mizuho High because he thinks that playing basketball in Tendōji High is not meaningful at all, and that basketball should be about enjoying yourself. He is a second-year student. His father is the head coach of Tendōji High School. Aikawa seems to be romantically involved with Mai Moritaka of the girls&#039; team.    He was the one who convinced remaining players to play basketball again. Mutsumi had once said that it was as if Aikawa reminded them all about how much fun they could&#039;ve all had playing basketball together. He was once the trump card and captain of the Tendōji High&#039;s basketball team. He plays the position of small forward in the team. He also has a knack of being able to jump higher than most people, and that makes up for his height disadvantage.    

Working for RI-ON, he is the son of RI-ON's President Toki. He has been trained to fight in Dragon Drive ever since he was little, proving to be a very powerful elite and the strongest of his team. Toki seems to try to gains his father's love by doing whatever his father tells him to, though he is not fully aware of what will happen when his father has the Jinryu stone.   While his main dragon is Raitonaitsunaito, he also has Darx and attempts to control Shinryu in the anime, instead becoming possessed by the dragon itself. In volume seven of the manga, he calls Reiji annoying and attempts to kill him. Later, however, it is he who nears death, is picked up by his father, and is told that he was "truly the hero."  Kohei's phoenix-type dragon is Raitonaitsunaito, a wind-elemental dragon. Extremely durable and quick, can shoot feathers at high speed and create barriers at will. In the manga, Raitonaitsunaito was a light dragon who evolved into a dark one.  ~! img320(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/Jc7532/Dragon%20Drive/p024.jpg)[/img]  (Source: absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Dragon_Drive)!~

__Height:__ 173 cm  
__Dominant Hand:__ Right  
__Play Style:__ Counter-puncher  
__Special Moves:__ Snake Shot, Boomerang Snake  

Kaidou is a counterpuncher, noted by his stamina and retrieving most of the opponent's shot, using his physique to tire out his opponent first. While his playstyle becomes more aggressive as the series progresses, his original style is still evident in his matches.   ~!Kaidou is mostly known for his "Snake Shot" (derived from the "Buggy Whip Shot"), a curving forehand that keeps his opponents running. He later develops the "Boomerang Snake," which is a shot that swerves out of bounds, around the net pole, and back in bounds. He developed the shot under mentor Sadaharu Inui's advice and by working with him in doubles. He usually plays the Singles 3 position, though he is most often placed in one of the Doubles slots. In Genius 379, in the last chapter of the manga, Kaidou is seen as a third-year and the new captain of Seigaku, with Momoshiro as his sub-captain. Their rivalry has, apparently, somewhat mellowed with time.!~ As a kid, he cried a lot. When he was in kindergarten, he was often mistaken for a girl, called Kaoru-chan, and forced to wear a skirt.   

He is Isami in the same future timespace as Karasu. He also became a Dragon Knight. Unlike the tormented Karasu, Fukurou managed to keep his sense of humor and laid-back personality, and his motto seems to be "Don't worry about it." Being Karasu's best friend, Fukurou failed the mission to kill him when he was declared a traitor deciding to aid Karasu.   ~!However, Noein killed/absorbed Fukurou after Haruka changed the future she saw in which it was Karasu who killed him. Fukurou is a close friend with the future Ai, and expresses his wish to see her one more time as he dies. Fukurou's spin weapon appears to be simple energy blasts.!~      He seems to find our timespace less painful than Karasu, looking fondly on Ai, Yū and his younger self, and admonishing Yū and Isami to "stay friends." Like Karasu, he looks very different from his younger self – tall, muscular, with a long brown ponytail and only one eye (presumably lost in a gang war in his teens). Fukurō is Japanese for owl.

Brawly is in charge of the Knuckle Badge and resides in Dewford Town. Brawly's name contains the word brawl in it, referring to fighting; his Japanese name Tōki can be literally translated as "fighting spirit". Brawly specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon, and once trained alongside Kanto Elite Four member Bruno.  In the Pokémon anime series, Brawly is a Gym Leader who likes to Surf and train his Pokémon at the same time. His Pokémon move like the waves, always changing and avoiding attacks through the course of battle. He also has a private island which has a training facility and a battle field that has many geysers on it. Ash loses to Brawly the first time, when he relies only on brute strength. However, in the rematch, his Corphish and Treecko use the forces of nature to defeat Brawly's Machop and Hariyama.  Manga: Brawly also trains his Pokémon by surfing with them in Pokémon Adventures. His strategy is to use "subtle forces" over speed and power to use his opponents' strength against them. He also likes to save his Pokémon's evolutions for battles.  During his match with Sapphire, his Makuhita evolved into Hariyama. Sapphire figured out that his use of Counter could be overcome by moves which attacked with multiple hits, such as Double Kick. Due to a misunderstanding, she was also expecting Brawly's Pokémon to evolve.  Brawly sided with Team Aqua in the Hoenn conflict because he wanted more places to surf. He changed his mind after Kyogre and Groudon started their rampage. His opponent during the Kyogre/Groudon fiasco was Mack. Using direct, brutal strength instead of his usual strategy, he defeated him at the cost of his own Pokémon. He was last seen on the Pokémon Association's airship "Ba.Goon", resting from his injuries.

Taki was a regular on Hyoutei&#039;s tennis team until he lost horribly to Shishido Ryou and was replaced by Hiyoshi Wakashi. He was a former doublespartner from Ootori Choutaro. Haginosuke spends his allowance on a private Tennisclub. 

Note: the surname can also be found as "Kaidoh" or "Kaidōh"  Kaoru's younger brother. He truly resembles his big brother, as well he looks like having a similar personality to him too.   

__Height:__ 173 cm

Soushi Minashiro is one of the children on Tatsumiya Island who knows the truth-- the world has been under invasion by an alien race called the Festum for the past three decades and Japan was destroyed 28 years ago.

He is the son of [Kouzou Minashiro](https://anilist.co/character/191389), the commander of the secret military fortress Alvis, which is hidden in the bowels of the peaceful-seeming Tatsumiya Island. From a very young age, Soushi was bred to become the next commander of Alvis, so he has had a very isolated childhood carrying the heavy secret of the war and being told day in and day out that he must live only to protect the island.

~!Though he was very close friends with [Kazuki](https://anilist.co/character/1614) as children, due to an incident in which Kazuki ended up blinding Soushi's left eye, they have drifted apart, but find themselves once again clinging tight to each other for support when the Festum attack Tatsumiya and it is up to the two of them to defend it.!~ 

~!Soushi also has a little sister named [Tsubaki](https://anilist.co/character/2626) who is the island's Core and powers all the computer systems on it.!~
