Genjou Kakouton is the main fighter and trusted advisor for Kyoshou Academy, serving as Moutoku Sousou's right-hand man and closest friend. His appearance features dark skin, long black hair, a goatee, a beanie, a green coat, and sandals. He wears an eyepatch over his left eye, gouged out by an assassin's kunai during an attempt on Sousou's life, mirroring his Three Kingdoms counterpart Xiahou Dun's injury. He fights with explosive energy, constantly emphasizing fundamental techniques, earning him the nickname "Basics Ton-chan" from Hakufu Sonsaku. Kakouton maintains a cautious approach to threats and a strong sense of honor, often repairing battle-damaged environments like streets or walls, viewing them as sacred fighter grounds – a practice rooted in his civil engineering background. His unwavering loyalty to Sousou defines him, alongside his deep friendship with Houkou Kakuka. After Kakuka's death, he becomes Kyoshou's de facto second-in-command, though his grief and Sousou's violent descent strain his position. Ordered to avenge Kakuka, he insists on operating by his principles, refusing underhanded tactics. Key events shape his path: * Early encounters establish his fighting philosophy and mutual respect with Hakufu. He later defeats her in the Great Toushi Tournament by targeting her legs, a strategy suggested by Hakufu's mother Goei. Their interaction fuels rumors about his romantic preferences; he denies these despite harboring feelings for Hakufu. * During *Dragon Destiny*, his eye injury triggers Sousou's dragon, resulting in Koshaji's death. He questions Sousou's growing violence and confronts him after releasing Unchou Kan-u (whose presence worsened Sousou's instability). Sousou, controlled by his dragon spirit, overpowers him, crushing his hand and leaving him severely injured. * *Great Guardians* depicts him suffering amnesia after this confrontation. He meets the similarly amnesiac Housen Ryofu, and they travel together. Encountering Hakufu during a fight with Myousai Kakouen restores his memories. He reclaims his identity, defeats Myousai, and declares his intent to find his own path back to Sousou. In *Xtreme Xecutor*, his hand injury prevents tournament participation. He provides Hakufu with a boat and sword to rescue allies, demonstrating ongoing support despite his limitations. He later envisions Kakuka in Sousou's place, reflecting his enduring grief and loyalty. Though officially ranked C-Class, his combat skills allow him to contend with Special A-Rank fighters, earning widespread respect. After Kakuka's death, his role evolves from active combatant to strategic advisor.
