Profile

Child Prodigy

Tsukasa Okino is a high-school student that is well-known for his high IQ and ability to skillfully fumble people. Okino is also the one responsible for various technologies including some Sentinel generations and armaments. During the 2064 Battle, Okino was fighting with Juro Izumi, Ei Sekigahara, and Ryoko Shinonome in the Sentinels, but after the infection incident, he was transferred to 1944 and went into hiding. Fortunately, Okino's short, silver hair, petite build, and high-pitched voice allowed him to pass as a woman by the name of Kiriko Douji. In 1985, with the help of his newfound friend Takatoshi Hijiyama, he seeks to prevent the destruction of the world by any means necessary.

He is first seen presenting as Kiriko Douji in the 1940s, where he is seen wearing the sailor uniform blouse commonly seen in Japanese girls' uniforms.

He has long silver hair in two braids that go halfway down his upper arms.

He is also seen wearing the Sakura High School girls' uniform in the 1980s. It is a sailor uniform with a wide collar, and a large violet ribbon in the front. It is accompanied by a pleated skirt. Okino wears a longer skirt than most of the girls do, with it going down to his knees. He still wears the same hairstyle, with long silver hair in two braids that go halfway down his upper arms.

Finally, he's also seen wearing the Sakura High School boys' uniform, with a gakuran. He has short silver hair, with a distinctive strand that curls outward.

Trivia

• Artist Yukiko Hirai originally proposed the idea for Okino to cross-dress.
• The characters Hibari Ōzora from the manga series Stop!! Hibari-kun! and Sōji Okita from Tottemo Hijikata-kun inspired Okino's character.
