Kyo Hanaki (花紀 京, Hanaki Kyō) is one of the primary members of the Osaka Gantz team.
Appearance[]
Kyo appears to be a young man with a markedly feminine appearance; he has soft and defined features, and relatively long, straight hair, and is thin with a slender frame.
Background[]
Kyo Hanaki is a veteran member of the Osaka Team, having accumulated 100 points twice. Kyo appears to be a heroin addict, shooting up before every battle.
Plot[]
Nurarihyon Alien Mission Arc[]
When the Osaka Team is summoned for another mission, they are surprised to find that the Tokyo Team has also been called. While the rest of the veterans confront the Tokyo Team, telling them to keep out of the battle, Kyo is apathetic, remaining off to the side and shooting up in anticipation of the coming battle.
Kyo encounters Tsuneo Nikaido, a new member of the Osaka Team, being accosted by aliens. Kyo saves him, and the two team up. Kyo is the first to encounter the 100-point alien who is the final boss of the mission. Kyo attempts to snipe at it from afar, having some success, but is killed by a stray eye-beam fired by the alien's severed head.
Personality and Fighting Style[]
Kyo appears visibly detached from his compatriots, failing to communicate with any of the veteran members of the team for the period in which he is seen alive. While ostensibly reserved, Kyo's personality awakens in combat, wherein he battles with both recklessness--in evidence in Chapter 244, where he leaps off his bike and attacks the foe directly--and astuteness-- evidenced through his approach in trying to defeat the 100-point alien by sniping, though this soon degenerates into recklessness when his plan fails.
Though his use of hard drugs may well be an influencing factor, Kyo seems to elicit great delight from defeating any aliens he combats, often seen drooling as a result. He laughs when maiming an alien, taunting his foe by goading it to vocalize humiliating sentiments. Kyo demonstrates no reservations in eliminating enemies he perceives weaker than himself, though the 100-pointer succeeds in curtailing his eagerness to dive in.
Kyo death
Though Anzu Yamasaki deems him unstable, Kyo is not stunted intellectually. He exhibits proficiency with numerous tools supplied by Gantz, including computer equipment, and strategically deduces that following the trail of seemingly useless 1-point aliens will enable him to find locations reserving greater quantities. Kyo is able to utilize several tools in conjunction; he was capable of using the bike to approach the enemy at speed, before leaping off and defeating it with a gun.
Kyo demonstrates some element of compassion for his bespectacled team-mate, saving him from encroaching aliens. Kyo brings him along to aid in destroying any aliens they find. Kyo's saving of this novice illustrates a difference with the other veteran players of the Osaka Gantz team, who remain unwilling to assist other participants.
