—Masaomi Iki, Chapter 51 |
Masaomi Iki (
Appearance[]
Masaomi is a man of average build. He has dark hair, presumably similarly colored to that of his sister, which is longer in the back with uneven bangs on his forehead. After returning from his time overseas, he wears rectangular, black-rimmed glasses.
Personality[]
Masaomi is an easy-going person who often makes insulting remarks about others– sometimes without realizing, and by consequence he can come off as rude.
He is somewhat carefree and dispassionate about his direction in life, and wishes he could escape his general responsibilities. In particular, he uses art as a means of escapism. However, Masaomi seems to be quite dissatisfied with these parts of himself.[1]
Skills & Abilities[]
- Far Shore Perception: Unlike most humans, Masaomi can sense, see, and hear creatures from Far Shore. He inherited this ability from the maternal side of his family.[2]
Relationships[]
Hiyori Iki[]
Hiyori is Masaomi's younger sister. Despite being quite lackadaisical and distant from his family in most areas, he is caring toward Hiyori, shown by how he helped her study,[1] questioned Yato's earnings when he found out they were acquainted, and guarded her when their grandmother brandished a weapon in the house. He was also worried to the point of tears when he thought that Hiyori had run away from home.[3] However, Hiyori is unaware of his career as an art director designer, implying there are some things that he still keeps from her.[2]
Quotes[]
- To Yato and Yukine: "I was just wandering aimlessly because I didn't want to take over the family business. I was a little brat who didn't want to do what his parents told him." (Chapter 53)
- To Yato and Yukine: "Oh, come to think of it, there's something else she said. 'Sometimes escapism can turn into the real thing. If you work at it.'" (Chapter 53)
