Yomikawa Aiho

Yomikawa Aiho (黄泉川 愛穂) is a character introduced in Toaru Majutsu no Index. She is a P.E. teacher at A Certain High School, and is good friends with fellow teacher, Tsukuyomi Komoe. Also a member of Anti-Skill, she cares for the well-being of children even if they are criminals, and absolutely believes that she will not use a weapon on children.

She is the current legal guardian of Accelerator, Last Order, and Misaka Worst.

Appearance
She is a tall woman that has glamorous proportions, and is always seen with a green jersey, which hugs tightly on her large bust. Her long hair is tied into a ponytail, making her look careless, but also gives her an intriguing sexy feeling.

Personality
She has a kind and caring nature, that extends to her job as Anti-Skill, and is most especially apparent with children, which she has promised to herself never to turn a weapon on them. However, her love more or less encompasses violence that an old generation P.E. teacher like her will execute.

She takes her job seriously, and often berates her junior, Tessou Tsuzuri if she doesn't do her job properly on patrols. Due to her habit of ramming delinquents with protective items like shield or helmets to resolve incidents, saying it's alright to do so since those are protective items, she's known as 'the woman who uses comedy-like methods to solve problems that could end up as a tragedy'.

Out of the job, she is very cheerful, and enjoys beer, eatouts, and public baths with her friends, apparently, willing to go become pass-out drunk in public. She also enjoys teasing Tsukuyomi Komoe as if she was a child. She also believes that there is no shame in showing her naked body to teenagers like Accelerator since they are still children. This was shown when he walked in on her, Last Order and Yoshikawa Kikyou showering, they didn't feel embarrassed one bit and acted casual about it since they believed that he was still a child and that they were adults and it was okay. She also has a tendency of going on a cleaning spree when upset which ends up in making her do reckless things like losing her keys.

She took the test to join Anti-Skill at the same time as the Tokiwadai Dorm Supervisor, but both ended up failing to complete the test by beating up all the instructors. While Yomikawa managed to pass by apologizing, the dorm supervisor gave up on joining, both due to being disappointed in the instructors and because she thought herself more suited to protect a single place she lives in instead of the entire city.

At some point before the series began, Aiho and her team dismantled the Special Ability Institute, the place where Accelerator was in until he was nine.

Accelerator does not seem to understand what Aiho tries to point out at first, but soon, Aiho clarifies things; she thinks that Accelerator is still fearful of returning his goodwill he receives from Last Order. Aiho then recalls on his past, as part of the experiments of the Special Ability Holders Multiple Alteration Technologies Research Institute. He has accepted that fact that he was a monster since his days in the said facility, and because of this, he thinks that he is no longer able to show goodwill to people. Nonetheless, Aiho believes that Accelerator will have the potential of helping others through his powers.

Aiho is later given a three-shot at by Hanzou, who says that it is powerful and cool to fire a bunch of bullets at once. Hearing their argument, Aiho determines that her opponents are all idiots. Suddenly, either due to the crash, the gunshots, or both, the truck's transport of soccer ball-sized fireworks falls out all over the warehouse. Moreover, Hanzou's haphazard firing had hit some sort of electrical wire which in turn has come into contact with some leaking gasoline from the truck. Seeing this, Aiho flees.

This was apparently all set-up by Shiage, who had Hanzou fire at the truck's fuel tank. The three then find that Aiho is running away, to which Shiage says that he wants to capture her and show her up. Ritoku responds that they will do no sexual crimes, though Shiage says he knows and changes the subject to the ATM. As Shiage tries to go back to the station wagon, something hit his toes.

Quotes

 * (To Accelerator in Index II Episode 17) "Just listen to yourself. Despite all you're saying, you're trying to point out the risks your guardian is taking. That means you are ready to protect us."
 * (To Accelerator in Index II Episode 18) "This is a rule I made for myself: I will never point a weapon at a child. Even if they're an esper. Do you know why?... That's exactly it. It's probably nothing compared to what you have to face. But the fact that we're heavily indebted to others is the same. So no matter how painful it is, there's no choice but to pay back as much as possible. And unlike me, if you have strength. There are many doors open to you."
 * (To Elder Sister in Railgun Episode 14) "How about surpassing your limits? Look at that guy. He was the first to raise his hand, but he's still running. The instant you say you're done and give up, it's over. You might have power in you that you aren't aware of yet. And her. She thought she was done too, but she ran another lap. Where did the power to run that lap come from? It's the same with ability development. If you decide your own limits yourself, it's over."
 * (To Accelerator in Index Volume 15) "It doesn’t matter whether you are a Villain or Hero, Accelerator, nor is what kind of world that you are involved in. For me, what’s most important is bringing you back. No matter how dark or cold your world is, I’ll never give you up, and drag you back!"
 * (To Anti-Skills regarding Accelerator in Index Volume 15) "'Do you know who it is standing there?! That is a child that we must protect! Pointing guns at children, I’ll never agree! How could I possibly agree to something like this!!” -- Said in Vol15 to prevent Anti-Skills attacking Accelerator.
 * (To Hamazura Shiage, Komaba Ritoku, and Hattori Hanzou in Index Volume SS2) "U-umm.. This is Yomikawa Aiho of Anti-Skill Branch 73. With charges of theft, property damage, attempted murder, and interference with a public servant's duties, I'm taking you pieces of shit down to Hell!!"
