History and Personality: Eyes is quiet, serious, collected, and confident, and he isn't always the nicest fellow. But he has good reason not to be, after all, he's one of the "cursed" Blade Children, and has bee non the run, fighting for his life for the better part of it. By fourteen he was already a famous classical pianist, and continues to have hit albums, and sold-out concerts around the world. Eyes appears to be the leader of the majority of the Blade Children. As the oldest he feels that it is his responsibility to protect the rest. To this end he sought out Ayumu Narumi, believing the words of Kiyotoka Narumi that Ayumu was the Blade Children's best hope. However, he is nothing if not cautious, and at his urging the Blade Children put Ayumu through a serious of rather deadly tests to determine if he can indeed save them. He appears to have no feelings toward Ayumu personally, good or bad, though he does accept Ayumu's help on occasion. Eyes believes that they Blade Children cannot allow fear to keep them from their lives, and encourages the others to pursue their goals, but to do so while keeping constant watch. Eyes is always on the look out for hunters, and, according to his once closest friend Kanone, is desperately seeking redemption.
Relationships: Eyes is reserved and cold by nature and so is not close to many people, but he cares for all the Blade Children and does his best to protect them. He seems to have a soft spot for Ryo Takeuchi, and brings her musk melons (her favorite food) from time to time. She is quite clearly attached to him. However, the depths of his affection for her is not clear.
Eyes was once very close to his cousin Kanone. As children the two took care of one another, and they are still in contact. In fact, Kanone first warned Eyes that the hunters were coming. Unfortunately Kanone no longer believes that the blade Children have hope, and when he fails to convince Eyes to give up, the two end up in conflict.
Techniques: Eyes is a strategist, who prefers to work from behind the scenes.
Trivia: Eyes likes cats, and carries dried sardines to feed them. Once, when he forgot to bring her a melon, he gave Ryo dried sardines instead...
Though Eyes is not athletic, he once beat the most athletic of the Blade Children in a 'jock' game, in order to force her to rejoin their fight. He won using strategy and slight of hand, and insists that a sharp mind is far more important than physical skill.
Why we love him: I have no excuse for myself, other than the fact that he had white hair, a British accent, and plays the piano. But, really, that's enough for me!
