accelerator (toaru majutsu no index)

Toaru Majutsu no Index character.

Accelerator is the 1st-ranked Level 5, the strongest esper currently residing in Academy City. He is nicknamed after his ability, which allows him to manipulate vectors.

He is the second protagonist of the Science Side in Toaru Majutsu no Index. First appearing chronologically as an antagonist, he later becomes the primary male protagonist of the Science Side after being defeated by Kamijou Touma. His journey to a more "heroic" role in the story progresses after meeting and saving Last Order, and is forced into an ironic twist of fate where his life now depends on the Sisters, clones he previously killed by the thousands. He is also a major antagonistic character in Toaru Kagaku no Railgun and the protagonist of Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator.

In his role as a protagonist, he is forced to deal with the cruel Dark Side of Academy City and the secret conspiracies surrounding it. As the most powerful esper of Academy City, his existence and powers are tied to the plans of Aleister Crowley, the founder of Academy City, alongside Touma.

Having short, white hair and choker grants him a little resemblance to Riku of Kingdom Hearts.

Voiced by Okamoto Nobuhiko.
