Visit Onemanga.com to read the Air Gear Manga series
Air Gear is a shōnen manga and anime by the mangaka Oh! great. Air Gear is about the life of Itsuki Minami "Ikki", also known as "Baby face" and "Little Crow". The name "Crow" came from the fact that there is currently a real living baby crow in his hair sometimes who he does not seem to mind, and his friends along with the latest in-universe trend, Air Trecks. The early parts of the story carry out the introduction of characters that eventually join Ikki, and as the story progresses, it focuses on their roles as Storm Riders and their quest to be on the top of the Trophaeum Tower.
Story
Itsuki "Ikki" Minami, is a student and a delinquent. Also known as the "Unbeatable Babyface". Ikki is the leader of the youth gang by the name of "East Side Gunz" (Hikatsuganzu). Upon his return home after being humiliated by a Storm Rider team called the Skull Saders, Ikki discovers a secret hidden from him by his benefactors, the Noyamano sisters. The sisters belong to a group of Storm Riders who go by the team name of Sleeping Forest. In the anime, learning the sisters' secret angers him and he steals a pair of Air Trecks, abbreviated as "AT". (In the manga, the sisters give a pair of ATs to him and invite him to skate with them.) Ikki eventually settles his grudge with the Skull Saders, but in the process he receives more than the simple satisfaction of revenge. Determined to experience the sensation of "flight" for as long as he can, Ikki is quickly engaged in the mysterious, irresistible world of Air Treks.
Setting
Air Trecks (AT for short), are a brand of special motorized inline skates. The biggest "thrill" of Air Trecks is the precisely calibrated air cushion system, which gives these self-propelled trick skates their energy, allowing the Riders to "fly", enabling them to perform daring leaps and tricks. Air Trecks are fully customizable in every aspect, from the skate's design, to the wheels, and even down to the screws. Most standard-issue parts are available at sporting goods stores, but the rare parts must be purchased at specialty shops.

Parts Wars are official battles between Storm Rider teams. Originally an online forum for trading Air Trecks parts which evolved into a place where Riders can issue challenges for parts posted on the board. A Rider can wager just about anything from parts to territory, to even team emblems; although wagering team emblems is considered highly unusual due to the risk involved of one's team being disbanded. Nevertheless, Riders can compete in Parts Wars simply to improve their team's ranking. Qualification for class advancement requires three consecutive wins against a team of equal class or one win against a team of superior class; and for each classes, there is a unique battle mode that must be conducted in the Parts Wars.
"Kings" are the most advanced users in the Air Gear universe's Air Treck world, each possessing a unique 'Regalia' as their proof of their status. Regalia are special ATs specifically engineered to use the air to work in conjunction with the king's 'road', the trick style the rider prefers. Though there are many 'roads' in the Air Gear world, originally only the eight riders with Regalia were considered kings, regardless of how powerful a rider was otherwise. Currently in the Air Gear manga storyline, there are sixteen recognized kings, eleven of which have been revealed as such to the reader. All Regalia possess what is known as an "Infinity Atmosphere", a special set of parts which utilize air to create a powerful effect. Although many people have been recognized with having the power of a king, a person is not officially recognized without a Regalia, either won in a battle, chanced upon, or inherited from a previous king.

Kogarasumaru
Kogarasumaru (小烏丸?) is a team formed by Minami Itsuki and his friends to further their favourite hobby of Air Treck. Their team ranking in the world of AT increases at a very rapid pace, giving Kogarasumaru worldwide fame. Eventually, the elite team known as Genesis is placed under the command of Kogarasumaru, though the Sora brothers eventually take it over. Kogarasumaru is now determined to win the Gram Scale Tournament and dominate all other teams with their strength alone. The team currently has 3 riders that are kings, Itsuki Minami, Kazuma Mikura( though he doesn't have possession of his Regalia at this time), and Agito Wanijima. Kogarasumaru is currently unqualified for the Gram Scale tournament, however they are going against Inorganic Net led by the former fang, Falko, it is actually a computer program developed by Falko that has exact copies of the former Sleeping Forest members before their disband, and each one possess one of the Orignial 8 Regalia.
Itsuki Minami
• Voiced by: Kenta Kamakari (Japanese), Chris Patton (English)
Itsuki Minami (南 樹 Minami Itsuki?), known as Ikki (イッキ?) by his friends, is a free spirited AT rider that has a natural affiliation for being in the sky. He is introduced to ATs by Noyamano family, whom he lives with due to his parents' deaths. He eventually forms Kogarasumaru, and takes on the Trophaeum. Ikki is often characterized as a crow due to a small crow, Kū, using his hair as a nest.
Ikki is able to see the "Wing Road" and his peers often consider him to be the best candidate to become the next Sky King. He possesses two passive traits known as Trick Pass and Hawk Eye, which allow him to easily survey an area and utilize any part of it. Both are considered attributes necessary for a candidate to be Sky King. He trains under Sora to better utilize the wind, and he eventually obtains the incomplete Wind Regalia. He is able to use it to move quickly and fly, though he is unable to properly use its destructive power. The regalia is stolen by Sora and Nike, which leads to Ikki being proclaimed the the "Storm King of the Hurricane Road." His tuner, Kururu Sumeragi, promises that she will complete a new regalia for him.
Kazuma Mikura
• Voiced by: Kenn (Japanese), Clint Bickham (English)
Kazuma Mikura (美鞍 数馬 Mikura Kazuma?), known as Kazu to his friends, is a childhood friend of Ikki who becomes influenced to take up AT and join Kogarasumaru. He is originally bullied by Ikki as a child, and he often feels like others are more important than himself, especially compared to Ikki's natural talent. He takes up running at a later point, which eventually leads to him being an exceptionally fast AT rider. As he shows signs of following the Flame Road, Spitfire takes an interest in him and eventually proclaims Kazu to be the next Flame King. He is given the Flame Regalia before Spitfire's death, though it is stolen by Aeon Clock afterward. He afterwards fell into a depression and joined a religoius cult, surprisingly led by Ikki. Kazu soon discovers this during his challenage to be the hero who saves the fallen from hell. Kazu soon realizes that he truly wants to fight against Ikki and they began their battle. Kazu points up a amazing battle aginst Ikki, though it seems that Ikki had gained the upperhand, he had left the fight a draw it would seem as Kazu was very satisfied with how well he had done to be near Ikki's level.
Issa Mihotoke
• Voiced by: Hitoshi Bifu (Japanese), Mark X. Laskowski (English)
Issa Mihotoke (御仏 一茶 Mihotoke Issa?), known as Buccha to his friends and teammates, has an extremely large body that he uses to his advantage in battle. Before he became part of Kogarasumaru, he is the leader of the team Night Kings (夜王 Yaou?), which is defeated by Ikki. He appears to be obese, but his body is only ten percent fat. His size is actually caused by a large amount of blood pooling in his gut from overeating. He also has the ability to manipulate that blood and send it to his muscles, causing him to temporarily have a slimmer, cut figure and even cause his limbs to become longer. He uses brass knuckles-esque gloves in combat, which combined with his superhuman strength is truly devastating. Spitfire states that Buccha has the skills to potentially rival that of a King's, but because of his brash actions in battle, he cannot utilize them fully.
Onigiri
• Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (Japanese), Greg Ayres (English)
Onigiri (オニギリ?) is one of Ikki's childhood friends who joins Kogarasumaru. He rides on a single AT by sitting upside down on it, mainly to look up the skirts of his female schoolmates. He has an unusual way of using his perspiration, usually during overall perverted moments, to create illusions, which he nicknames the "Smell Road."
Akito (top) and Agito Wanijima (bottom)
• Voiced by: Kokoro Kikuchi (Japanese), Blake Shepard (English)
Akito Wanijima (鰐島 亜紀人 Wanijima Akito?) and Agito Wanijima are two personalities that make up the Fang King. They are originally part of the Wind SWAT team, in which they are treated like a tool by their older brother, Kaito. Ikki eventually saves them, and they join Kogarasumaru. They switch who is in control by using an eye patch. Akito is innocent and non-violent. He becomes attracted to Ikki, much to Ikki's discontent, and often tries to kiss, bathe, and sleep next to Ikki. He states he is the originally the Fang King until he becomes disgusted with himself and becomes unable to use AT. Agito then appears, and starts using ATs, while following his own violent and bloodthirsty nature. He tends to swear a lot and uses four hooks dangling from straps on his legs to battle and tear people apart. When equipped with the Fang Regalia, he releases a pressurized "Fang" through the instantaneous acceleration and braking of the A-T's wheel motors, vacuuming and compressing air into a piercing shock wave.
Another personality, Lind Wanijima (鰐島 凜鱗人 Wanijima Rindo?), emerges during the battle with Orca. He claims to be the original personality and he is much stronger than the other two, utilizing the Fang Regalia on a different level. He is a "brain charger", characterized by an X on his eyes, created in the same way as the gravity children. He does not care for others.
Emily Adachi
• Voiced by: Shouko Ishii (Japanese), Kira Vincent-Davis (English)
Emily Adachi (安達 絵美理 Adachi Emiri) Along with Nakama Yayoi, Emily Adachi is part of the track team and used to look down on Ikki and his friends. However, after the incident between Ikki and Buccha, she has come to admire them. She and Yayoi are also the first to admonish them whenever they come up with something stupid (which is rather often). She has a big crush on Kazu.
She eventually joins the Kogarasumaru and acts as back-up. Even though her Air Treck skills aren't all that great, she seems to at times be able to summon up super strength and endurance, like taking hits from powerful storm riders brushing the hits off easily to her super powerful kicks and wrestling moves, through her pure strength of will and "The Power of Love". Currently she is an official member of Kogarasumaru, during the fight with White Wolf Clan she replaced Buccha after he was beaten by an old man with a cybernetic armor. While fighting, Emily and the others decided to win by beating the other team to a pulp. Currently she doesn't have a Road.
Yayoi Nakayama
• Voiced by: Rieko Yoshimoto (Japanese), Stephanie Wittels (English)
Yayoi Nakayama (中山 弥生 Nakayama Yayoi?) is initially forced to harass Ikki by Buccha's team, though she supports Kogarasumaru later. Nakayama has the ability to communicate with Ikki's crow and to tell the exact time, down to a second - a trait that is shared amongst the more affluent tuners of Tool Toul To. She later reveals that she has a crush on Agito; for whom she supports when he is weakened.
