Kihara Amata's Son



Kihara Amata's son is a character introduced in the Toaru Jihanki no Fanfare mini-novel.

Background
Noting is known about him so far, but he is known to be a member of the notorious Kihara clan, more precisely the son of Kihara Amata. Not very surprisingly for his bloodline, he is said to be involved in the Dark Side of Academy City. It is unknown how significant his status in the Kihara family and the Dark Side of Academy City is. It's not certain if he proven his "Kihara-ness", through given his father's and grandfather's repeatably displayed brutality, he perhaps, due to parental abuse and natural viciousness of his bloodline, did by now, as exceptions to the malevolence in the Kihara clan are very rare.

History
Nothing is currently known about his past, other that he, at some point, joined the Dark Side of Academy City.

Appearance
Nothing is known about how does he look like. Amata still being relatively young when he died, as well as Therestina being rather young herself, Amata's son is most likely still a teenager, or a very young man.

Personality
Despite his father and grandfather, as well as the majority of his blood relatives, as he is yet to show himself in canon or spin-offs, nothing can be certainly claimed about his nature. Due to his other two relatives Kagun and Nayuta's personalities that aren't entirely as evil or manipulative, and given that some characters were forced to join the Dark Side of Academy City, it is still to early to judge his persona.

Chronology
Main Article: Toaru Jihanki no Fanfare

He is first briefly mentioned by his relative Kihara Nayuta to be involved in the Dark Side of Academy City. Almost immediately, in a similar fashion of Number Six, the subject of the conversation changes before anything more can be explained about him.

Abilities
Being a Kihara, Amata's son most likely posses great affinity for science and is very likely specialized in some field of Science.

Other reasonably assumable abilities

As Amata's son, he might have inherited his unique hand-to-hand combat style.

Given his grandfather's obsession with the Level 6 Esper as well as his father's reputation as one of the best if not the best power developer in Academy City, he may even be an (high-level) Esper should they've tempered with his body in their (especially the former's) notorious experiments.

If he is still involved in the Dark Side of Academy City, he obviously needs to be able to defend himself. Thus it is plausible that he might have sufficient skill in hand-to-hand combat, or various orthodox and unorthodox weaponry, like his father and Kihara Ransuu. If he is (also) an Esper as mentioned before, due to the great genius in multiple fields of science the Kihara have, he might have the needed calculation ability to have greater use of his ability.

While Kihara in general consider mere Espers lab animals, they looked down on one of their own, Nayuta who used methods that assured safety for her ability's development and health. This rises the question would Amata's son, or any other member of the Kihara clan, using dangerous (enough) methods on himself/herself (on his/her free will), be able to become an Esper and still keep his status in the Kihara family.
