The player character from Shin Megami Tensei V.
A male high school student who appears rather androgynous. He has an asymmetrical bowl cut with icy blue eyes and sports a school uniform with floral print. Upon fusing with Aogami, his appearance alters as he transforms into another being known as a Nahobino. Here his hair becomes dark blue and very long, while his eyes change to a bright yellow color. Whether it is part of his body or an article of clothing isn't entirely clear, but it appears that the protagonist wears some sort of bodysuit in this form, and he can cause a energy sword to protrude from his fingertips at will.
His default name is Anemura Kei in the debug state of the game. However, as it is impossible to access this data normally and the name is not used in any official media, it is unknown whether the name is official or only a placeholder for development purposes.
