History Characters / FromTheNewWorld

* HeroesWantRedheads: He is ''obviously'' in love with Maria.

-> '''Voiced by''': Haruka Kudou (child), Creator/MotokiTakagi (teenager) (Japanese), Creator/BlakeShepard (English)

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the aftermath of the war against the invading Ground Spider colony, he allows Squealer's Robber Fly colony to take 10% of the plunder to help rebuild their colony that was decimated in the fighting. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite him hard as Squealer goes on to turn his colony into the dominant power among the queerats and stage a rebellion against the humans and any queerat colony that doesn't side with him, Kiroumaru's included.]]

%%Killed off for Real is only for continuities where death is shown to be reversible or temporary.

* TheOutsideWorld: Most people of Kamisu 66 are indoctrinated with a fear of the world beyond the Holy Barrier from a young age. In part, this is to keep them from exploring and learning anything the people controlling the villages don't want them to know, but it's also to keep the {{Terraform}} effect directed outward by forcing their subconscious fears and concerns figuratively and literally in that direction.

* PsychicPowers: All of them have the power of telekinesis.
** PsychicChildren: The power of telekinesis manifests itself before they hit puberty, resulting in this trope.

** BadassBookworm: He does very well at school and he is quite knowledgeable. [[spoiler:Particularly at the age of 26 as he works as a geneticist.]]

* HimeCut

** EveryoneCanSeeIt: He's not very subtle with them.

* ChildhoodFriends: With Satoru, Saki and Maria.
** ChildhoodFriendRomance: At age 14 he dates Satoru, [[spoiler:but Shun notices that he is becoming a karma demon and breaks up with him. That said, Saki's monologue in the novel suggested that for a time he did reciprocate Satoru's romantic feelings for him. He also confesses to loving Saki, and dies telling her so.]]

* PowerIncontinence[=/=]SuperpowerMeltdown: [[spoiler:Unable to control his psychic powers, he turns into a karma demon and is swallowed by the earth.]]

* YouthfulFreckles: Had them.

* Really700YearsOld / OlderThanTheyLook: She's 267 years old. Apparently, this is a result of being able to regenerate her telomeres.[[note]]As cell division often fails to replicate the entire chromosome, often stopping before the end, telomeres are buffer nitrogen bases found at the end that protect the chromosome from deterioration. Without them, the cell would lose vital pieces of information instead. Because they don't code for any particular amino acid, they are essentially disposable, yet they do run out and research suggests that telomeres running out causes aging on the cellular level.[[/note]]

* CoolShades: Whatever you call the band he usually puts over his eyes. Under it, he turns out to have...
** SupernaturalGoldEyes: with ''[[ExoticEyeDesigns four pupils]]''.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Episode 21 reveals his grand scheme. It turns out that he wants to give the humans a taste of their own medicine and make the ''bakenezumi'' the rulers, not the other way around. How does he do this? Simple: after killing Maria and Mamoru, he abducts their child and raises him to become an Akki. Then, as the Akki wipes out human villages, the hospitals would be kept intact so the armies could abduct human infants (as infants of a vanquished colony are considered spoils) and raise them to become Akkis as well. So even if his original plan fails, Yakomaru would only have to wait until the human children develop PK for him to overrun not just Japan, but Eurasia as a whole and ''quite possibly the world''.]]
** Episode 25 then goes one to reveal that he is motivated to defend his people, rather than a desire for personal power.

* PutOnABus: For the second story arc anyway.
** TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:He returns for the third act and plays a much larger role in the story's endgame.]]

* WildChild: See [[RaisedByOrcs Raised by Bakenezumi]] for details.

* TheSociopath: There were many hints of him being this prior to him becoming an Akki.

* SpockSpeak[=/=]CreepyMonotone: Because it's essentially a robot, it delivers information in a robotic deadpan.

* ShrinkingViolet

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Starts out with short hair, by the time he is a teen he wears it a bit longer and at 26 he has let it grown even longer and has PeekABangs. [[spoiler: When he is 36 he cuts it short again, just like Saki.]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:For all his talk about what mankind has done he had no problem destroying enemy colonies. He also has reduced the role of queens to little more than slaves for reproduction. Also, he openly criticizes traditional Bakenezumi culture for treating its people as tools, only to later sacrifice many of his own men.]]

* KangarooCourt: Why, no, the unapologetic leader of a SlaveRace insurrection which killed thousands of humans does ''not'' get a fair trial from the humans whose families he slaughtered in his bid for domination.

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:He was considered the most powerful human being on Earth, but the genetic limiters programmed inside him left him unable to so much as raise a proverbial fist at the Fiend]].

* LastRequest: [[spoiler:Before going out to sacrifice himself to stop the Fiend, he notes that humans would likely try to wipe out the queerats and asks them to make certain that the Giant Hornet queen is spared. Once Saki becomes head of the Ethics Committee she does her best to reverse the decision to wipe out the queerats, with apparent success]].

* CoolShades: Hey, it comes with being [[spoiler:the head of her department.]]

* DeadGuyOnDisplay: [[spoiler: After his death, his corpse is left where it was. People promptly -- and ''rightly'' -- freak out.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Covers his face with bandages and makes it appear as if he is using power in order to make Mamoru and Maria's child kill him. Causing his death and the child's Death Feedback.]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Maria. [[spoiler:TheyDo. And the result is horrendous.]]
