Kiyotaka Ayanokouji

Intro Kiyotaka Ayanokouji is the central character of the Classroom of the Elite series. Often referred to by his classmates as 'Kiyotaka' or 'Kiyopee', he attends the prestigious but highly competitive Koudo Ikusei Academy. Kiyotaka is an intelligent and enigmatic student with exceptional academic and physical abilities. He chooses to be inconspicuous, often downplaying his true capabilities due to his pragmatic and pessimistic worldview. Despite his aloof nature, he gradually forms bonds with others, particularly with Keyaki Nagumo and Hirata Ryuuen. His past experiences in a family who trained him to become a tool for their success left him emotionally detached and utilitarian in his outlook on life and relationships. He shows significant preference for strategic thinking over brute strength, often outmaneuvering his opponents with calculated moves. Kiyotaka harbors an inner sense of morality and yearns for genuine human connection despite his initial emotional isolation.
