Description
Kei Uomi is a professional gamer affiliated with the Nitro Squad esports team and stands among Japan's elite fighting game players. He entered the esports scene roughly three years before the depicted events, rocketing to prominence with rapid advancement and minimal losses. This ascent culminated in a match against Sylvia Goldberg, the top American pro-gamer, during the Galaxia Heroes: Burst World Championship. Despite thorough preparation, Uomi suffered defeat, experiencing shock at the skill gap and establishing a personal rivalry with Goldberg, whom he vowed to defeat.
Within Shangri-La Frontier, Uomi operates under the avatar name Oikatzo (also spelled Oicazzo or Oikatso), presenting as a blonde-haired female character with an androgynous appearance—a deliberate contrast to his real-life male identity. The Oikatzo avatar wears red and light beige clothing, metal gloves, bandage socks, and beige boots, later adopting armor for guild activities. Oikatzo's personality diverges sharply from Uomi's typically friendly demeanor, exhibiting a hot-blooded, tomboyish attitude during gameplay.
Uomi's gaming history intersects with the protagonist Sunraku through their shared passion for "trash games," titles notorious for glitches and poor design. They first encountered each other in *Berserk Online Passion*, where Uomi, impressed by Sunraku's skills, attempted to recruit him for his esports team. Sunraku declined due to personal commitments, though the two maintained a friendship. Later, they joined forces in *Unite Rounds* to challenge the dominant player Pencil Knight (later known as Arthur Pencilgon). Their confrontation ended in mutual defeat, forging a begrudging camaraderie among the three players.
As Oikatzo in Shangri-La Frontier, Uomi employs a Monk (Spirit Fist User) main class, specializing in close-quarters combat enhanced by elemental buffs. Key abilities encompass Spirit Fist techniques like *Red Impact* (strength/vitality boost), *Black* (temporary damage increase), *Flame Crimson* (fusion with incandescent crimson flame), and *Dark Overstrike* (tri-color energy sphere demanding high stamina). Combat skills include *Repel Counter* (attack deflection), *Crush Uppercut* (one-hit KO potential), *Dual Impact* (staggering strikes), and *Human Pile Bunker* (armor-piercing charge). His Archaeologist sub-class utilizes whips such as *Snakerope "Life Rein"* for exploration and combat, alongside *Ruin Sense* for analyzing structures and unlocking doors. Equipment includes light gear like the Ascetic's Robe set and accessories such as the *Inventoria Key*, a unique bracelet granting access to a special area after defeating the boss Wezaemon.
Uomi co-founded the guild Wolfgang with Sunraku and Pencilgon, focusing on high-level challenges like the Seven Colossi bosses. During the Wezaemon battle, Oikatzo's *Human Pile Bunker* proved critical in breaching the Kirin mount's armor. He later participates in the Global Games Competition (GGC) with Sunraku and Pencilgon, aiming to defeat Sylvia Goldberg. This arc highlights his ongoing growth and adaptability, though his reliance on pre-researching opponents sometimes leaves him vulnerable to unfamiliar tactics, as demonstrated in a GGC loss to Goldberg's teammate.
Trivia notes indicate his name combines the kanji for "fish" (魚), "minister" (臣), and "intelligent" (慧), forming puns related to bonito flakes in his gaming aliases. He ranked #7 in the series' character popularity poll and holds titles like "The Caring" and "Rider of the Wild Hunt" in Shangri-La Frontier.
