Description
Kanetake Meguro, known by the nickname Megane, is a supporting character in the anime Gate Keepers. He is a high school student who serves as the head of the mechanics department of the secret organization A.E.G.I.S. Despite being young, he is a child prodigy with an extraordinary talent for understanding and repairing machines. His nickname Megane, which is Japanese for “glasses,” reflects his appearance and is a common term for studious characters in Japanese media.
Megane is highly intelligent, resourceful, and dedicated to his work. He does not possess any Gate powers himself, unlike the main fighters of A.E.G.I.S., but he compensates with his mechanical expertise. His primary motivation is to support the Gate Keepers by maintaining and developing the organization’s vehicles and equipment, allowing them to carry out their missions effectively. He takes great pride in his role as the team’s engineer and is always eager to apply his skills to solve technical problems.
In terms of role within the story, Megane is the go-to person for all matters related to transportation and machinery. He is responsible for bringing the Gate Engine and the Gate Robo to the Gate Keepers during battles. A notable example of his abilities occurs after the battle at Tokyo Tower, where he successfully restores the badly damaged Gate Robo, enabling the team to continue their fight against the Invaders. His contributions are vital to the operation of A.E.G.I.S., even though he remains behind the scenes.
Megane has a close friendship with Bancho, another character who also initially lacks Gate powers. The two often work together on upgrading and repairing A.E.G.I.S. vehicles, and their camaraderie is a steady presence in the series. Megane interacts respectfully with the other Gate Keepers, acting as a reliable support figure.
Over the course of the series, Megane’s character develops through his growing confidence in his mechanical abilities and his willingness to take on more challenging repairs. He remains a non-combatant but proves that intelligence and technical skill are just as important as superpowers in the fight against the interdimensional invaders. His notable abilities include a deep understanding of mechanical systems, rapid diagnosis and repair of complex machinery, and the operation of advanced vehicles like the Gate Engine and Gate Robo.
