Genjou Kakouton is the main fighter for Kyoshou Academy and Moutoku Sousou's trusted right-hand man and closest friend. He possesses dark skin, long black hair tied back, a goatee beard, and typically wears sandals, a beanie, and a green coat. His personality is intensely energetic, often yelling about fundamentals during combat due to a deep obsession with the basics of street fighting and a belief that contemporary fighters neglect these core principles. He exhibits caution, refusing to engage Bunwa Kaku over suspicions about her intentions toward Sousou. Kakouton feels a strong responsibility for the physical spaces where fights occur, frequently repairing damaged streets or walls afterward, viewing these as sacred combat grounds. He first appears in the manga alongside Houkou Kakuka, observing Kakuka's interactions with Ritsu Buntatsu and Ryofu's magatama. Later, during Hakufu Sonsaku's introductory arc, he assists her by repelling low-ranked attackers while emphasizing basics, establishing rapport before departing to avoid police. The anime, *Dragon Destiny*, expands his role. He initially fights Yoshu fighters, needing Hakufu's help when an opponent uses a knife. They ally during the Great Toushi Tournament; following Goei's advice to target Hakufu's legs leads to her temporary paralysis and his victory. Shimei Ryomou swiftly defeats him, prompting Kakuka's vengeful response. Assassin Koshaji gouges out Kakouton's eye during an ambush, triggering Sousou's dragon spirit and Koshaji's death. Kakouton deeply mourns Kakuka's assassination, straining his bond with Sousou. Ordered to conduct a sneak attack on Nanyo Academy, he reluctantly complies but insists on honorable execution. He later confronts Chuutatsu Shibai over unauthorized military actions, uncovering Seito's involvement in Kakuka's death. Tasked with capturing Unchou Kan-u, he distracts Kanshou Kouchuu. However, recognizing Kan-u's influence on Sousou's worsening instability, he defies orders and releases her, seeing parallels between her loyalty to Gentoku Ryuubi and his devotion to Sousou. This act culminates in Sousou denouncing him as a traitor. During their battle, Sousou's manifested dragon spirit brutally crushes Kakouton's hand. Presumed dead, he is later found alive by Bunwa Kaku, suffering amnesia and only recalling his friendships with Sousou and Kakuka. In *Great Guardians*, Kakouton meets the amnesiac Housen Ryofu. They travel to condemned Kyoshou Academy, where Hakufu rescues them from an ambush. Kakouton gradually regains memories, aided by Hakufu reminding him of his repair kit's significance. He ultimately defeats Myousai Kakouen and resolves to find his own path back to Sousou. For *Xtreme Xecutor*, Kakouton's hand injury prevents participation in the "fighters tournament." He later envisions Kakuka in Sousou's place and provides Hakufu with a boat and sword for her rescue mission. Officially ranked C-Class, Kakouton demonstrates capabilities rivaling Special A-Class opponents, earning respect across rival schools like Nanyo and Seito. His role evolves from active combatant to advisor after Kakuka's death, effectively becoming Kyoshou's second-in-command. His core motivations remain unwavering loyalty to Sousou and adherence to his personal principles, navigating loss, betrayal, and physical trauma.
