Kinta Sakata
CharacterKinta Sakata is one of Dandadan's main characters, a Kami High student in its History and Culture Research Club. A self-styled show-off with a deep love of mechas, he becomes a steadfast ally to Momo and Okarun whenever the supernatural intrudes.
Appearance
A stout young man, Kinta keeps his dark hair short and parted down the middle, and he wears glasses. His usual clothing is the gakuran uniform issued by his school.
Personality
Proud and conceited, Kinta looks down on boys his own age and craves recognition, once faking battle wounds with an eyepatch and bandages to seem important. The bluster is a mask, though; aware of his own limits, he hides his insecurity behind bravado. Underneath lurks genuine courage, plus a perverted streak and an overpowering obsession with mechas, the hobby that drives him to pilot one of his own.
Abilities
Kinta's sharpest tool is his encyclopedic grasp of science fiction, which lets him instantly trace an enemy's invisibility to retro-reflective projection tech and lay out how to beat it. That same inventiveness lets him shape Ludris' nanoskin into working tools, vehicles, and his dream mecha, the Great Kinta. He also has an artistic side, having drawn the emblem that represents History and Culture Research Club.
