1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character. Kamui was difficult for me to get a handle on. He went through a lot of personality changes as the story progressed -- and understandably so, but still. Overall, though, I'd say that I like him.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot? Since he's the protagonist, I guess I'd have to say yes. :D
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally? I always find "kid must make choice on which the fate of the world rests" to resonate, even if it is common in these sorts of stories, so he works for me on that level. And I feel him on the loss of all the people he loves -- his monther, Kotori, Fuuma -- under such horrific circumstances.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from? See above.
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic) Again with the canon, except in this case it's with Kotori. I see the appeal of shipping him with Fuuma -- love/hate/friendship/history all tangled up has all kinds of possibilities. I also like him with Yuzuriha (sp); I think they'd balance each other out.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? (Personality wise, not anything pertaining to the plot.) I can't think of anything. I can't see how changing anything wouldn't completely screw up the plot. He's just too key to everything that happens.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc) Hmm, I doubt we'd interact much -- I'm not so good at breaking through walls like his IRL.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or most hated? Again with not being so much into the fandom. I like him, but I don't feel strongly enough about him as a character to call him a favorite.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone who's new to the fandom? It would be hard to talk up the series without talking about him, so sure.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase? See above.
...aaaaand I broke the comment limit!
