Gen Inukai

Gen is a supporting character in Tenkai Knights. He is in the possession of the core of Dromus, a fomerly evil Tenkai Knight who works for Vilius and bears a strong resemblance to Bravenwolf.

He is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal in English and Miyuki Sawashiro in Japanese.

Appearance
Gen is a tall thirteen year-old boy with red eyes and spiky, pushed-back dark brown hair with long bangs covering one eye. He wears a tall-collared black jacket made of what appears to be leather. The jacket usually covers his mouth and has two buttons on each side that connect to each other and keep the coat zipped up. He wears long pants are made of the same material that his coat is made of. It is held up by a belt with a golden-yellow buckle. He also wears black boots.

Personality
Gen's personality is at first shown to be calm, cool, and collected. He dislikes people who need teammates because he thinks they're weak. In "The Key to Evil", it was revealed that Gen wasn't always calm and collected. Gen used to be a very positive and outgoing child just like Guren. The event that changed his personality has not been revealed yet. Since "A New Knight" has aired it seems that he has changed his attitude toward Guren and the others and has joined them.

In the series
In "Tributon Extreme" Gen transfers to Guren, Ceylan, Chooki and Toxsa's school. There he meets Guren and Ceylan for the first time. While on Quarton, Gen introduces himself to the Tenkai Knights as Dromus and takes the fourth Dragon Cube with him.

In "Two Sides to Every Coin" Gen, curious if Guren is Bravenwolf gives Guren some advice about "choosing the side of the coin he wants". So when Dromus attacks with his Core Corrupter and witnesses Bravenwolf put his advice into practice, he realizes that Bravenwolf must be Guren.

In "Dragon's Key" Gen leads Guren and Chooki on a trail of clues about the White Dragon Keys' location. He puts up one sign after another. When Guren and Chooki finally find the Key and pass through booby traps guarding it. Gen returns to Quarton.

Next, in "Vilius Unleashed" Dromus manages to captures the Tenkai Dragon after the Knights awaken it and transports it to Vilius's headquarters.

In "Tenkai Rogue", Gen is joined by Beni in his efforts to defeat the Tenkai Knights.

In "Dromus Betrayed", Gen is seen in Beni's flashback which contained Dromus' intentions and how he was betrayed by someone in the past. However, his being Dromus was still not verbally mentioned to the Tenkai Knights.

In "Dragon Key Quest", Gen takes the Black Dragon Key from them and reveals Beni tricked them as well.

In "The Dark Unlock", we retrieve Gen's backstory, and which is a very depressing one. We finally see why Gen is evil.

In "A New Knight" Air Date: 3/8/14, It might seem that Guren has got too Gen, and turned him over.

Trivia

 * His Japanese name is Gen Inukai.
 * Gen seems to have similarities to another anime character, Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto. Both have a loner attitude (however Sasuke has both an inferiority and superiority complex), same English voice actor, and both share a tragic past. While Sasuke's entire clan was massacred, Gen seems to have undergone an incident involving his parents, but it wasn't explained what had happened.

Skills

 * Gen has a habit of proving himself to be one class higher than the Knights at everything they do. This includes Chooki's skills at basketball and chess.
 * Gen is also good at strategizing plans for Vilius, and does so at every opportunity to the point where slips of the tongue reveal that he believes he is in control.
