The anime series Kill la Kill, produced by Trigger, features a cast of characters with a variety of designs and abilities. Honnouji Academy (本能字学園, Honnōji Gakuen) is a fictional high school situated in Tokyo Bay, Japan. The characters consist mainly of students who wear Goku Uniforms (極制服, Gokuseifuku; lit. "high quality uniform", from gokusei (極製) + seifuku (制服)), which give their wearers superhuman abilities. The protagonist Ryuko Matoi is a transfer student who searches for her father's killer, teaming up with one of her new classmates, Mako Mankanshoku, as they fight against the iron-fisted and hot-tempered student council president, Satsuki Kiryuin, and her mother, Ragyo Kiryuin's, fashion empire.

Ryuko Matoi (纏 流子, Matoi Ryūko) is a 17-year-old schoolgirl and the protagonist of the series, who transfers to Honnouji Academy to find the one who murdered her father, Isshin Matoi. She possesses the Scissor Blade, one half of the Rending Scissors (断ち斬りバサミ, Tachikiri Basami) that Isshin created to destroy uniforms empowered by Life Fibers.[ep 1] At the start of the series, she acquires a special "kamui" uniform named Senketsu,[ep 3] which grants her special abilities.[ep 1] She lives with the Mankanshoku family.[ep 2] After arriving at Honnouji Academy, Ryuko vows to fight her way up Honnouji Academy and eventually reach Satsuki Kiryuin, as she speculates she knows who killed her father.[ep 1] Despite having a strong temper, she forms a friendship with Honnouji student Mako Mankanshoku, who supports her emotionally and calms her down when necessary.[ep 1][ep 7][ep 20] [ep 10] She is initially used by Satsuki and the Final Four, as her fights with them and fellow students help Satsuki improve and perfect the Goku Uniforms.[ep 13] Ryuko is later revealed to be Satsuki's younger sister, who was presumed dead during the battle at the Honnouji Academy Cultural & Sports Grand Festival, and became a human infused with Life Fibers as a result of being experimented on as a newborn baby by their mother Ragyo.[ep 18][ep 19] She was saved by her father, Soichiro Kiryuin, who assumed the identity of Isshin to raise her protected from Ragyo's reach.[ep 19] Upon learning of Satsuki's true intentions to overthrow their mother and save humanity, Ryuko allies with her and the Final Four, ultimately managing to save the world from the Life Fiber threat.[ep 21][ep 22][ep 23][ep 24] With the world free to wear normal clothing again, Ryuko starts a new chapter in her life alongside Mako, Satsuki, and her newfound friends in the Elite Four and Nudist Beach.[ep 24]

Satsuki Kiryuin

[edit]

Voiced by: Ryōka Yuzuki[1] (Japanese); Carrie Keranen[2] (English)

A cosplayer dressed as Satsuki Kiryuin in 2014

Satsuki Kiryuin (鬼龍院 皐月, Kiryūin Satsuki) is an 18-year-old schoolgirl and the president of Honnouji Academy's student council. Her signature weapon is the Life Fiber severing katana Bakuzan (縛斬; lit. "bind/cut"), administering Goku Uniforms to students using various hierarchical schemes such as a no-late day event and battle royale-esque tournaments such as the Naturals Election.[ep 1] When Ryuko arrives to Honnouji Academy, Satsuki decides to don the Kiryuin Family's kamui Junketsu (純潔; lit. "purity"[ep 3]) and manages to take command of it through force of will. But unlike Ryuko, who established a symbiosis with Senketsu, Satsuki is unable to use Junketsu's full power and can only use it effectively for short periods of time.[ep 16] Satsuki serves as a major opponent to Ryuko for most of the series, utilizing Honnouji Academy as a means to eliminate her mother and the Life Fiber threat. Satsuki makes her move to assassinate Ragyo during the Honnouji Academy Cultural & Sports Grand Festival to celebrate the schools’ subjugating, but is captured while learning Ryuko is her younger sister, who was presumed dead.[ep 17][ep 18][ep 19] After being freed by Nudist Beach with Junketsu modified to be more compliant, Satsuki makes amends with Ryuko before they team up to face Ragyo in the series finale. In the OVA epilogue, Satsuki closes down Honnouji Academy as it had fulfilled its purpose while giving Rei closure.

In the events of Kill la Kill the Game: IF, Satsuki is placed in a dream-based reality while first donning Junketsu, with the events of the series storyline playing out. While facing the Primordial Life Fiber, Satsuki briefly powers up into Junketsu Shinzui (純潔神髄; lit. "purity essence") before being consumed by her delusion. But Ryuko saves Satuski while loaning her the Rending Scissors to destroy the illusory world. However, this causes her to awaken with no memory of the events.

She immediately befriends Ryuko upon the latter's arrival at the school.[ep 1][3] Mako lives with her parents and younger brother in the slums of Honnō City.[ep 2] She is described as an "uber air-head" whose "unbelievable actions never cease to shock and awe the people around her."[3] Despite putting herself in dangerous situations, she has a good heart and cares deeply for Ryuko, providing her with constant encouragement. Senketsu notes that Mako is vital for getting Ryuko to relax.[ep 3][ep 10] When she runs the Fight Club, she receives a two-star Goku Uniform styled like that of a delinquent.[ep 7] She later gets a second copy of it to wear to help defend the Naked Sol with the Elite Four and other club presidents during the final assault against Ragyo.[ep 22] Her humanity and kindness are often put to the test, like when she is pressured to fight Ryuko to keep her newfound social status, but resists after seeing her injured [ep 7], and when she manages to appeal to her friendship with her, calming her down or defending her from danger.[ep 5][ep 12][ep 21]

"Godrobe"), an outfit made entirely of Life Fibers, which provides its wearer with superhuman abilities in exchange for their blood. Initially, it absorbs a large amount of her blood and only allows her to act for a limited time. However, it is soon able to fully synchronize with Ryuko as she gets over her embarrassment of wearing such a skimpy outfit.[ep 3] Whenever Ryuko destroys a Goku Uniform, Senketsu absorbs its Life Fiber.[ep 3] Mikisugi later reveals that Issei Matoi designed Senketsu from Ryuko's DNA to enable her to fight against the propagators of the Life Fibers.[ep 16][ep 17] It was only after the revelation of Ryuko's hybrid nature that Senketsu is revealed to be partially human. Though Ryuko defeats Ragyo, Senketsu starts dissolving from having absorbed both their allies' Life Fiber clothing and Ragyo's as he uses his final moments to safely get Ryuko back to Earth.[ep 24]

While Shinra-Kotetsu was originally powered by Rei Honoumaru, Ragyo had it absorb Harime and the Primordial Life Fiber commence her end game. After Ryuko reverses the Life Fiber takeover after Senketsu assimilated Shinra-Kotetsu, Ragyo chooses to crush her heart rather than accept defeat on anyone's terms but her own, warning Ryuko that the other Life Fibers in the universe will eventually come to Earth and finish what she started.[ep 24]

Following Ragyo's death, Rei attempted to exact revenge by using Life Fiber-based clones of Satsuki and her Elite Four to disrupt Honnouji Academy's graduation ceremony.

The narrative revolves around transfer student Ryūko Matoi, who enrolls at the authoritarian Honnōji Academy to avenge her father's murder using her half-scissor blade and the sentient Kamui uniform Senketsu, which enhances her combat abilities through life fiber synchronization. Her primary antagonist is Satsuki Kiryūin, the iron-fisted president who rules the academy with her white Kamui Junketsu and enforces dominance via Goku Uniforms that amplify the wearers' powers based on their wearer's status. Supporting the central conflict are Mako Mankanshoku, Ryūko's eccentric and impoverished best friend whose boundless energy provides comic relief and unwavering loyalty, and the Elite Four, Satsuki's elite enforcers—Ira Gamagoori (discipline committee chairman), Uzu Sanageyama (athletic committee chairman), Hōka Inumuta (information committee chairman), and Nonon Jakuzure (non-athletic committee chairwoman)—each wielding specialized Goku Uniforms for battle. Other notable figures include the covert operative teacher Aikuro Mikisugi from Nudist Beach, the manipulative conglomerate CEO Ragyō Kiryūin (Satsuki's mother and primary overlord), and the sadistic designer Nui Harime, whose creations and allegiance to Ragyō escalate the series' themes of control, identity, and . The ensemble's dynamic interactions, voiced by talents such as (Ryūko) and Ryōka Yuzuki (Satsuki), drive the high-octane action and satirical exploration of authority and fashion as weaponry.
