Ayumu Kouda

Kōda’s kiddo and Kyōko's little bro, he’s a year younger than Rei. After facing off against Rei in a shogi match and getting totally crushed, he decided to hang up his shogi pieces for good. Now, you’ll mostly find him holed up in his room, glued to his gaming console instead. He’s swapped strategy boards for digital landscapes, diving into epic quests and virtual battles. While he may have stepped back from the traditional game, his competitive spirit is alive and well in the pixelated world, where he’s carving out his own path and finding a bit of solace in the process.
