Katsuta Ikirita

Personality

Ikirita was a popular figure at school, having locked down a starting place on the soccer team almost as soon as he joined. Proud and status-conscious, he leaned on bullying to protect his standing near the top of the pecking order, singling out Niko for constant ridicule. His cruelty ran to deliberately striking Niko in the face during practice and destroying the trading cards he knew the boy cherished. That side of him faded after the humbling loss, and he grew into a kinder person who counted Niko as a friend.

History

The turning point arrived when Ikirita broke Niko's cards and Niko challenged him to a match, which Ikirita's side lost 13 to nil. The lopsided result reshaped him, and once Niko joined the school's soccer team the former bully ended up among his friends.
