Kou Atari

Kou Atari is a loud, lively, and proudly masculine‑of‑center member of the Glittering Crux. Though biologically female, Kou presents and behaves with distinctly butch / MoC energy—swaggering, theatrical, and completely sincere in her identity as a Ginga Bishōnen (Galactic Starboy). She carries herself with boyish bravado, chaotic charm, and a confidence that fills any room she walks into.

Her exterior is messy, comedic, and full of swagger, but beneath it lies a fiercely loyal heart. Kou will go to extreme lengths to protect her comrades, especially those she feels a deep connection with. Her bond with Madoka Kei is particularly notable—their Cybodies are designed as a pair, hinting at an intimate, fated partnership that Kou treats with both pride and affection.

Despite her antics, Kou is emotionally transparent. Her masculine persona is both a shield and a declaration: this is who I am, and I refuse to shrink. She can flip from goofy Starboy energy to razor‑sharp determination in an instant, making her one of the most dynamic personalities in the Crux.

Because Kou’s identity is deeply tied to her butch / MoC presentation, we strongly encourage LGBTQ+ voice actors—especially masc‑aligned women, nonbinary actors, or transmasc actors—to audition. This is not a requirement, but a preference meant to support authentic representation and give space to actors who resonate with Kou’s identity.
