Rekka Hoshimiya operates under a dual identity—a lieutenant in Special Fire Force Company 1 and a clandestine White-Clad operative. Born June 21 (23 years old), he sports a muscular frame at 175 cm, spiky dark-red hair, and star-shaped pupils. His name, translating to “raging fire” and “star temple,” mirrors both his pyrokinetic talents and ideological zeal. Raised as an orphan under Sister Sumire’s guidance, Rekka was indoctrinated since childhood into the White-Clad’s goal of triggering a new Great Cataclysm. While projecting the image of a charismatic priest and dedicated firefighter, he harbors fanatical loyalty to his cause. This duality surfaces in his relationships: inspiring admiration—even sparking Tamaki Kotatsu’s initial romantic interest—while covertly implanting parasitic “bugs” into victims to create artificial Infernals. He coldly eliminates those incompatible with the Adolla Burst, including a mother before her children, without remorse. As a Third Generation pyrokinetic, Rekka channels flames from his arms, augmenting martial arts with techniques like the Star Fist Punch’s fiery projectiles. His physical prowess enables him to overpower opponents like Tamaki through brute force, and he displays tenacity in combat, willingly risking self-injury by overexerting his powers. His demise comes during a clash with Shinra Kusakabe, who thwarts his attempt to infect Nataku Son. After a fierce battle, Karim Flam’s thermoacoustic refrigeration immobilizes Rekka, and Arrow executes him with a flaming arrow to prevent exposure. Rekka’s legacy lingers: Nataku endures hallucinations of his tormentor urging destruction, alleviated only through external aid. His identification of Adolla carriers informs Haijima Industries’ experiments on Nataku. Temporarily resurrected via time manipulation during the Great Cataclysm arc, Rekka’s revival proves fleeting. His star-marked eyes suggest ties to the Soul Eater’s Star Clan, though narratives leave this connection ambiguous. Rekka’s arc intertwines manipulation and fanaticism, blending charm with calculated brutality. A manipulated orphan turned zealot, his trajectory exemplifies cruelty rationalized by a warped vision of salvation.
