Description
Taizō Kiyokura, heir to the Kiyokura Group construction empire, displays a relaxed and charismatic demeanor that instantly puts others at ease, exemplified when calming Urara Haneyama's tournament anxiety. Despite his status, he insists on equality with his Vanguard teammates, rejecting formal titles like "CEO."
Standing tall with short black hair featuring a front yellow tuft and undercut, his brownish-yellow eyes are accentuated by distinct under-eye liner. He favors a gold-lined gray coat over a white shirt with gold accents, paired with baggy black sweatpants and gray slip-ons.
As a professional fighter for team Kiyokura ANCHOR BOLT, he competes in elite tournaments like Deluxe to prove his business acumen to his skeptical father. His goal is launching a Vanguard venture, requiring tournament success for paternal approval, though corporate duties and Vanguard remain dual priorities.
Energetic banter fuels his competitive spirit, relishing challenges in cardfights and business negotiations alike. An avid collector, he meticulously organizes rare cards in binders and visibly thrills at new acquisitions.
During *will+Dress*, he enters Deluxe to achieve his business objective and face champion Michiru Hazama. After topping Group B preliminaries and advancing through semifinals, he falls to Raika Koshiba in the finals but values the deeper understanding gained of rivals' motivations.
Chosen as a Fated One in *Divinez*, he wields Welstra "Blitz Arms." His selection traces to a childhood Kiyokura Group summer camp where he counseled future Fated Ones like Akina Myodo and Nao Inabe. Their near-friendship dissolved after Sybilt-induced memory loss during a ruins incident.
Unlike peers, he scorns exploiting the Fated Clash's wish-granting as an illegitimate shortcut, participating purely to test his limits against strong opponents. Post-Michiru's coma recovery, he initiates trans-Pacific video calls culminating in an American cardfight. Later, he gifts his Deluxe invitation to team trainee Erika Myojo for her development.
Losses consistently deepen his appreciation for others' perspectives rather than dampening his enthusiasm. His relinquishment of opportunities for Erika underscores a commitment to fostering talent, reflecting his enduring focus on mutual growth.
