Description
Kejinan Datto is a character from the anime Overman King Gainer. He is a member of the Siberian Railway Guard, initially serving under a man named Jin Yatsaba. Kejinan is 31 years old and comes from a farming background, a fact he mentions about himself. He is often seen in the company of his two fellow guardsmen, Enge Gam and Javori Mariera, with the trio forming a comedic and often inept unit within the larger organization.
Physically, Kejinan is noted for his distinctive bow-legged walk. His personality is defined by opportunism and a lack of genuine courage. He is the type of person who is weak against the strong but harsh to those beneath him, and his attitude changes frequently depending on the situation and who he is dealing with. While he frequently shouts about his ambition to become the next captain or vice president, his skills and courage rarely match his grand aspirations. Despite his ruthless posturing as a guard, his true desire is simply to return to his hometown and help his parents with their farm work.
Kejinan’s primary motivation is personal success and climbing the ranks of the Siberian Railway, though his incompetence makes this a persistent struggle. At one point, it is mentioned that he would need a staggering forty-six promotions to reach the position of vice president, indicating his very low standing within the organization. He and his comrades are fundamentally snobs who dream of advancement, but their schemes are almost always doomed to fail, partly due to their own foolishness and partly due to the superior abilities of their opponents.
In the story, Kejinan functions as a minor antagonist and a source of comic relief. He, along with Enge and Javori, is part of the forces pursuing the main characters and their exodus. They are often shown failing at their duties, such as when Javori is easily tricked by a captive into freeing her. As members of the Siberian Railway, they frequently clash with the exodus movement led by characters like Gainer Sanga and Gain Bijou. Their role is less about posing a serious threat and more about highlighting the bureaucratic ineptitude and moral decay of the organization they serve.
Regarding key relationships, Kejinan is almost inseparable from his two partners, Enge and Javori. Their dynamic follows a classic comedy trio format, with Kejinan as the ambitious but foolish leader, Enge as the passive and reluctant follower who would prefer a desk job, and Javori as the one with the most common sense who is forced to act as the straight man to their antics. Later in the series, after Yassaba leaves, they become subordinates to the more formidable antagonist Asuham, a change Kejinan resents because it feels like forced servitude rather than true cooperation. Despite his bombastic attitude, he is apparently not well-liked by his fellow guardsmen, who react with anger and confusion when he is eventually named vice president, a promotion that seems to come as a shock to everyone, including perhaps himself.
Kejinan does not experience significant personal growth or a redemption arc. He remains a largely static character defined by his greed, cowardice, and ambition. However, the revelation that he would rather be a farmer provides a small degree of depth, suggesting that his ruthless behavior is a front for a simpler, unfulfilled life. By the final episode, he achieves his long-desired title of vice governor, but the position brings him no respect and is met with indignation by his peers, solidifying his role as an perennial underachiever who has accidentally stumbled upward.
In terms of abilities, Kejinan is not a particularly distinguished pilot or fighter. His notability in combat comes from piloting an Overman in conjunction with his partners. Together, the trio operates a mass-produced Overman called the Under Golem. Their signature technique is the Mach Band Shaker, a special Over Skill that generates powerful, disorienting vibrations. However, even this ability is often ineffective against more skilled pilots like Cynthia Lane, demonstrating that their combined strength is still far below that of the main characters.
