Kekko Kamen - Characters

Characters

• Kekko Kamen (けっこう仮面, kekkō kamen?)

A mostly nude female superhero dressed only in a red, rabbit eared mask, with matching gloves, scarf, and boots. She uses her body to distract the usually male enemy teacher that she fights in order to protect the young student Mayumi Takahashi. She fights with a graceful and acrobatic martial arts style, as well as often using weapons to aid her, such as nunchaku and a bo staff. Kekko Kamen's finishing move, the Pubic Hair Jump (おっぴろげジャンプ - Oh Piroge Jump), involves her leaping into the air and spreading her legs, distracting her enemy with her groin, and crashing into his face. The impact and distraction causes him to lose consciousness. Despite many young women being suspected of being the heroine, her true identity has never been revealed.

• Mayumi Takahashi (高橋真弓, takahashi mayumi?)

A young, first year student at the Sparta Academy. Mayumi is an innocent and good natured, yet somewhat dimwitted girl, whose bad grades often land her in the school's torture chamber, where she is subjected to humiliating punishments. However, before the teachers are about to completely violate her, Kekko Kamen always manages to burst in and save the day. Her hero's constant rescuing of her has filled Mayumi with a deep amount of affection for her, and she often wonders whom the masked heroine could really be.

• Toenail of Satan (サタンの足の爪, satan no ashi no tsume?)

The main villain, the wicked principal of the Academy, who dresses in a fearsome white demon mask and jester hood. He is extremely perverted and obtains satisfaction from sexually humiliating the female student body, especially Mayumi Takahashi. This often brings him into conflict with Kekko Kamen, whose secret identity he wishes to uncover. To accomplish this, he brings out various punishment councillors to publicly humiliate Takahashi, using her as bait to bring the naked warrior of justice out in the open. However, he always manages to be defeated by her.

• Chigusa Yuka (結花千草, yuka chigusa?)

A shy, introverted second year student. After Mayumi sees her bare body during a plan to catch Kekko Kamen, she believes that this girl is in fact her hero. However, what Mayumi and the rest of the school doesn't know Chigusa is actually hiding a different secret: she is actually twins named Chigusa and Yuka, who mysteriously enrolled in the school under the identity of one student.

• Keiko Natsuwata (夏綿けい子, natsuwata keiko?)

The tough, masculine Physical Education teacher who is an expert at various styles of fighting techniques, sports, and with many types of weapons. For this reason, the principal suspected that she was actually Kekko Kamen, and began to humiliate her. This theory was disregarded when Kekko Kamen jumped in to rescue her.

• Koichi Omote (面光一, omote kōichi?)

A supposedly first year male student, who is in the same class as Mayumi. However, another student uncovered that he was actually a female in disguise. This prompted the Principal to believe that she was Kekko Kamen. When her true gender was unveiled, Keiko suddenly rushed in to save her, and confessed that she was Koichi's older sister. Both sisters were then captured and tortured until Kekko Kamen came to their rescue. After this revelation, Koichi continues to be a valuable friend and ally to Mayumi.

• Ai Sakai (酒井愛, sakai ai?)

A young student who is positively infatuated with Kekko Kamen, and is inspired to become a heroine of justice herself. So, armed with a rapier, she becomes the mostly nude, caped, swashbuckling hero with a ribbon covering her crotch known as Ribbon no Shishi (リボンの獅子). However, on her first attempt to combat the evil of the school, Ai finds herself in danger. Fortunately, Kekko Kamen comes to her rescue. After this incident, Ai continued to appear sporadically throughout the manga as a supporting character.

• Kaori Wakatsuki (若月香織, wakatsuki kaori?)

The very attractive school nurse. After Kekko Kamen's thigh is injured in a battle, the villain traces her to the infirmary, and confronts Kaori, ripping off her clothing in an attempt to find the scar, only to realize it wasn't there. Kekko then appeared with a bandage on and rescued her.

• Kei Kurenai (紅恵, kurenai kei?)

A red-haired, chain smoking, tough as nails third year student and gang leader. But beneath her brash exterior, she may be concealing something.
