Kuroudo Akabane JUS

Kuroudo Akabane is a major reoccurring character in the anime and manga series GetBackers. He works as a “Transporter” (“hakobiya” in Japanese), a person paid to escort things to a certain location. With his formal attire, consisting of a dress shirt, black tie, fedora hat and suit coat, polite manners and ever-present smile, he could be mistaken for a harmless person.

Akabane’s first encounter with the GetBackers was when he was on duty in the “Platinum” arc who fought with Ginji Amano and lost when Ginji discovered that Akabane hid his scalpels within himself and used electromagnetic powers to pull them out of Akabane. Afterwards, Akabane simply left, telling Himiko Kudou that he was no longer interested in the job since he had lost blood and felt compensated for his time. Since then, he has shown a lot of interest in fighting again with Ginji and Ban Mido, even if they are supposed to be on the same side, for the sake of seeing their true power.
