	Ayane Isuzu Born: July 29, 1984 Bloodtype: A Height: 146 cm Grade: 2nd Year High School Section: B An intelligent student at Tategami High School, she is in the third highest position in class standing. Ayane is often talked by classmates as a geek not only because she is good in handling computers and cellphones, but also because of her introverted attitude. She has a strong resemblance to Saemi Ukiya but she has the attitude reminescent to Megumi Kurogane's. She's not a fun person but she is cool when it comes to the battlefield. At battle with Invaders, she reveals her cellphones from her coat and use them for releasing pre-programmed imitation gate. As she is also good at computers, her laptop is useful in battle too, for she executes a strategic attack from some programmed cellphones. As the daughter of legendary Shun Ukiya (mother is still unrevealed even at the OVA's final episode), she possesses the Gate of Gales. However she can also wield other types of gates aka "imitation gates" using cellphones. She's bitter on almost anything as if she does not care about her surroundings that's why she has few to no friends at all. What she hates most is to do anything that has to do with her father, such as using UP-15 or even using her gate of gales. Her past is bit-by-bit revealed in episodes but is still unclear even after watching episode 6. Why does she hate her father that much, who's her mother with the maiden name Isuzu, why is she bitter towards the world, and what's that bell she has got to do with anything are just some questions that I'm bothered with. Ayane's bell that I've been talking about is always attached to her laptop, which she possesses since childhood. Cellphone interface 1 Cellphone interface 2
	Miyu Manadzuru/Miu Manaduru (du/dzu is the same in japanese, though you pronounce it as dzu) Born: September 25, 1984 Bloodtype: O Height: 160 cm Grade: 2nd Year High School Section: A A typical highschool at Tategami High; she is the type who wants to become a soccer team manager, hang out with friends, and date. As normal as she looks, she hides an extraordinary power as she possess a green gate that can make her leap very high. Ayane has discovered her power when Miu leaped to the sky as an escape from her boyfriend. After being recruited by Ayane, Miu starts to hang out with her which makes her friends wonder what made her hang out with a weird person. Miu when at Ayane's presence ask is she can do anything, but Ayane would either ignore her or just tell her how worthless she is. Miu, upon asked by Ayane what she is fighting for, answers that she wants to make everyone happy and is just curious. Ayane hates her kindness and says that everyone is probably addressed towards herself only. Her close friends, Chinami and Nao, even says that she does not get mad at all.
	Yukino Houjo Born: July 14, 1169 Height: 124 cm GateKeeper of Ice and Snow The ageless gatekeeper who appears in Tategami and is mistaken by students as a ghost. She still shares meaningful poetry but this time to Ayane and Miu. Why she is ageless is explained in episode 5. GateKeepers usually have bad backgrounds because their gates absorb their happiness. Reiji Kageyama even mentions that gates that are used many times can destroy a gatekeeper. In Yukino's case, she was summoning her gate at large amounts especially in times of emergency so her time was absorbed because of overuse.
	Nazo (translation: enigma)(mysterious man) Real Name: Reiji Kageyama Born: April 26, 1952 Height: 178 cm GateKeeper of Jet-Black, Dual GateKeeper (Black Minus Gate, Piercing Gate) (another translation: GateKeeper of Darkness and GateKeeper of Discernment) A mysterious man who is often seen driving a slick blue car. He gives commands to Ayane Isuzu on attacking Invaders. He pays Ayane fairly in exchange for Invader crystals that she collected. [It's weird that the crystals do not disintegrate when Ayane collects them...] Apparently, he is an AEGIS Network authority, possibly similar to Shirei who was the commander of AEGIS Fareast branch. He still possesses his black gate and is very strong in wielding it. He can destroy battalion of Invaders easily within one blow, but with a drawback: he becomes weak after releasing huge power. His body parts, like arms and internal organs are made by science because after his destruction in the past his body was destroyed but was recovered. In episode 5, his left arm becomes cut off by Yuurei Shoujo (Ghost Girl) but it does not bother him because he says that it's only borrowed. He can forsee or perceive the future, because he has the Discernment [ability to judge] gate ability. How he survived being absorbed in the Black Hole in the GateKeepers series last episode? - refer to GateKeepers 1985 section.
	Satoka Tachikawa GateKeeper of Fragments / GateKeeper of Tearing She appears in episode 3 wherein she saves Miu and friends from Invaders. Her Fragment Gate enables her to summon a huge sword/s that are so sharp it/they can eliminate groups of Invaders in one slash. Her sword looks like Cloud Strife's (Final Fantasy VII) sword but she weilds it just like Sanosuke Sagara (Rurouni Kenshin) weilds his zanbattou. She has some skill with her huge swords but she cannot summon them when her hands are separated from each other because her broad sword is to be carried by both hands. Interesting notes: (from Chou Nuriko) The big one (the one that she used in episode 3) was called the "Dragon Slayer" while the small one (the one she used to cut the mosquito in episode 4) was called the "Flying Swallow"--revealed in Official Website She is a GateKeeper member since 1999. She treats Ayane Isuzu as a rival and is very greedy when collecting Invader crystals.
	Daichi Hashimoto Birthday: February 5, 1966 Blood type: A Kanagawa prefecture graduate Height 175cm Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department posts An investigator of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who investigates Invader whereabouts. He is unsuccessful because he cannot provide evidence because an Invader corpse disintegrates instantly after death. He has snapshots of Ayane, Miu, and Satoka in action while opening their gates. In episode 5 he talks with Miu privately while forcing from her the answers he wants in which he fails. In the end because of his frustration he becomes an Invader.
	Invaders After their disappearance in 1970, they reappeared 31 years later. They still have the shades, hats, red and black coats, and bazooka; and they still retain their ability to fuse with each other and form into a larger tactical machine or object. Invaders spread like wildfire, they're infectious. A human with a darkside can be easily transformed into an Invader. Their remnance are crystals which retain human souls, unlike before (in GK TV series) they disintegrate after seconds of contact.
