Masaki Kurusu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Masaki Kurusu (来栖征 Kurusu Masaki?) is a fictional character in the manga/anime series Getbackers. In the original Japanese version, he's voiced by Hideyuki Hori.
[edit] Character
He is the last member of those who were known as the Four Kings during the era of VOLTS. His techniques allow him to control light, bypassing any physical defense and inflicting internal damage, thus earning him the title "the Controller of Light / Flash Master" (閃光の支配者?). He is also able to use light to blind his opponents' senses. Kyoji Kagami refers to him as the "Brain Trust's Masaki Kurusu", so it is safe to assume that he too was a resident of Babylon City and hopes to re-enter his home with the help of the three keys.
[edit] In the manga
Here, he's a former lover of Hevn, a good friend of the GetBackers duo. He tried to forget his love, and attempted to kill her. But, in the end, the lovers embraced after Masaki's fight with Ginji Amano. Masaki is also one of the bearers of the 'Stigma'. In fact, it was he who taught a young Kazuki how to suppress the power of the 'Stigma'. He is the one who reveals to the reader the origins of the Brain Trust.
[edit] In the anime
Here, his alliance with Babylon City is stated openly; he kidnaps MakubeX on their orders and reveals that he had been spying on Raitei and Volts for Brain Trust while he was one of the Four Kings, despite having been a close friend of Takeru Teshimine, who found and raised Ginji in Infinity Fortress as a child. During his alliance with the Volts, however, he found happiness and when the Brain Trust decided to delete MakubeX, Masaki saved him.
