Atsushi Kinugawa (鬼怒川 熱史, Kinugawa Atsushi) is a 3rd year at Binan High School and a member of the Earth Defense Club. He is known to have good grades, second to only Kinshiro.[1] He also seems to have known Kinshiro since they were children, having called each other "Kin-chan" and "Atchan".
As a Battle Lover, his given element is Wind and he transforms into the "Piercing Prince, Battle Lover Epinard" (Tsuranuki Ouji, Battle Lover Epinard).
Appearance[]
Atsushi has dark blue hair that goes down to his collar and his long bangs are unparted and go down to over his forehead and glasses. Atsushi also has brown eyes and never seems to appear without his glasses except whenever for when he is in the bath, and is one of the tallest of the Earth Defense Club.
He wears: a white shirt that is presumably tucked into his pants, a black uniform blazer which he has buttoned up, a red tie, a pair of long black pants, and a pair of brown shoes.
When he transforms into Piercing Prince, Battle Lover Epinard, his battle lover attire consists of a traditional prince-styled top with white puffed up sleeves that have green, flipped up cuffs with base extensions in the form of six coat tails which have a green underside, a green bow just below his neck that has a small, green, heart-shaped jewel with wings, embedded into it, a frilly white undershirt that barely peaks out of his traditional prince-styled top, a pair of white silk gloves, tight white pants which are tucked into his pair of knee height green boots.
Personality[]
Atsushi's personality is the reverse of that of En's. Kinugawa is serious and hardworking, unlike the laid-back and lazy En Yufuin. Apparently, Atsushi seems to enjoy giving nicknames to his friends, having given one to Kinshiro Kusatsu (Kin-chan) and En (En-chan). Atsushi also appears as an excellent cook who can cook curry very well. However, when it comes to fights he can be very hesitant and passive in nature, as seen with his arguments with En on Episode 8 - Love Wanders! and the flashbacks of his friendship with Kinshiro in various episodes.
