Description
Houka Inumuta is one of the four Elite Four members serving the student council at Honnouji Academy, where he holds the position of chairman for both the Accounting and Information Strategy departments. He is 18 years old and a third-year student. Before being recruited to the academy, Inumuta was a freelance prodigy hacker. Seeking a challenge, he penetrated the security of the REVOCS corporation, the world's most powerful conglomerate, and sent its stock prices into a freefall. Although he was ultimately tracked and caught by Satsuki Kiryuuin, she was impressed by his skills and personally recruited him, inviting him to change the systems of the real world rather than just the virtual one.
Inumuta is consistently calm, collected, and deeply rational, prioritizing logic and efficiency in all his actions. His primary driving motivation is the acquisition and preservation of data, which he values above all else. He aims to achieve maximum results with the minimum necessary effort through careful analysis. True to his analytical nature, he is often sarcastic and can be seen making jabs at his fellow Elite Four members. Despite his typical composure, he possesses a fierce and comically portrayed rage if anyone, such as Mako Mankanshoku, touches his computer or threatens his data. Conversely, he finds genuine excitement in encountering mysteries or phenomena that his data cannot immediately explain, finding such challenges interesting.
As a member of the Elite Four, Inumuta is a trusted subordinate of Satsuki Kiryuuin and carries out her orders, though initially, his loyalty was not as absolute as the other three. He works alongside his fellow kings: Ira Gamagoori, Nonon Jakuzure, and Uzu Sanageyama, often providing a sarcastic counterpoint to their more flamboyant personalities. He also collaborates closely with Shirou Iori, the head of the sewing club, in the analysis and development of Goku Uniforms.
Inumuta is the strategist and information hub of the group. His primary role in the story is to provide tactical analysis, commentary, and information warfare support. He is frequently seen using a portable, 8-bit style computer terminal to monitor situations and hack into enemy systems. He was instrumental in disrupting information networks during major campaigns like the raid on the three great cities.
While not the physically strongest of the Elite Four, his combat abilities are formidable due to his analytical mind. He is capable of disabling a rampaging experimental Five-Star Goku Uniform with a single, precisely aimed strike after identifying a weakness. In battle, he wears a Three-Star Goku Uniform known as Probe Regalia. This form-fitting outfit is covered in touch-panel keyboards that he rapidly types upon to analyze an opponent's movements, predict their actions, and process combat data in real time. The suit also features optical camouflage, allowing him to turn nearly invisible to launch surprise attacks. However, his uniform has a maximum processing capacity that can be overloaded by extraordinarily reckless or unpredictable attacks.
The character undergoes notable development in his role and equipment. After the initial battle against Ryuko Matoi, he willingly concedes defeat and forfeits his position to preserve the valuable data he collected during the fight, demonstrating his core priorities. Following the destruction of Honnouji Academy, he joins the anti-Life Fiber organization Nudist Beach, shifting his focus to providing analytical and backup support from headquarters. For the final confrontation, his uniform is upgraded to the Probe Regalia Mk.II and ultimately the Probe Regalia: Truth Seeker, a version that sacrifices some data-processing bulk for more direct combat capabilities, including high-speed movement and the ability to project nets of energy from his arms. In the epilogue, he plans to attend university and pursue a career in the IT industry.
