Shinkirō Taida

Shinkirou Taida (怠惰 蜃気楼 Taida Shinkirō) is the main protagonist of the Awakener series. He is a young man, presumably no older than 16 years, recognized for his x-shaped scar to the left of the right eye, and the black scarf that he wears in order to restrain his true fighting potential. Although normally a cheerful slacker at heart, whenever he gets forced into battling, Shinkirou can't help but to not show any mercy to his opponent, no matter how strong or fragile.

He is voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama in Japanese, and Grant George supplies Shinkirou's English voice.
