Genki Akahoshi

Genki Ahahoshi (赤星 元基 Akahoshi Genki, commonly called Gen) is a character in Gundam Build Divers War of Courts. He is the best friend of Ryouya Akahori.

PERSONALITY & CHARACTER
Genki is a quiet young man, who prides himself on his ability to support others. This tendency expresses itself in both his family life, with his multiple younger siblings, and also in his friendship with Ryouya. He is quite knowledgeable about the Gundam franchise, priding himself on having watched every series and film, and can easily recall trivial details. He can be very particular, which shows itself in his impeccable craftsmanship of Gunpla. His favorite color is red, like Ryouya. In battle, Genki plays reactively and has a decent head for tactics, and is known for usually keeping a calm head compared to Ryouya's rash offensives. He favors Gunpla with advanced defences, the better to protect the hard work he puts into his units.

SKILLS & ABILITIES
Genki is proficient in both close combat and mid-range weapons, able to switch up as needed. He is skilled at building and customizing Gunpla, able to work faster and produce better quality builds than Ryouya.

HISTORY
Genki was born in Minano, a town in Japan's Saitama Prefecture. He met Ryouya in his first year of school, when they ended up assigned next to each other in class. His parents have recently had a baby, and he occasionally gets asked to look after them and his other younger siblings. At the start of the series, Ryouya moves away to Saitama, though the two boys agree to keep in touch.

The Celestial Gunpla
Genki is drawn into GBN at Ryouya's insistence, and joins him in a Tutorial Battle. He handles himself well, though he has 2 'fanboy moments': at the start when the Non-Player suits reveal themselves, and at the end when the Non-Player  arrives. After finishing the Tutorial, he declares that he will keep playing the game alongside Ryouya.

Ryouya Akahoshi
Ryouya is Genki's best friend, and has been since their first year of school. Genki introduced Ryouya to the Gundam franchise, though he favors watching the TV series and films over Gunpla battles.

NOTES AND TRIVIA
The 赤 kanji in Genki's surname means 'red', which alludes to both his favorite color and the name of his force in GBN.
