Masato Kageura

"KG"

- We really don't give a damn about the Expedition Force, but we got no intention of letting weaklings surpass us. If ya wanna get to A-Rank, beat us first, midget.

Masato Kageura is a character in the manga and anime series World Trigger. He is the leader of the B-Rank #2 unit, Kageura Unit

Appearance
Kageura is a young man with wild black hair and light-colored eyes with slit pupils. He is usually seen wearing a dust mask over his jaw, a dark sweater and jeans.

Personality
Kageura is extremely belligerant, decapitating two trainees for talking about him behind his back. This is most likely due to the pain caused by his Side Effect when people feel negatively about him. He also hates when people are late, being mad at Murakami, and later Yūma, for being late to meet him on separate occasions. Also, despite his aggressive demeanor, people who know him well don't seem to mind it at all, possibly because they know of his side effect.

Kageura Unit
Yuzuru Ema: They seem to have a good relationship. Ema appears to be Kageura's only teammate who doesn't make him easily mad.

Hiro Kitazoe: Kageura seems to be annoyed by Zoe's emotional outbursts, although Zoe likes him.

Hikari Nire:

Kō Murakami
They seem to have a good relationship, although Kageura is annoyed of Murakami. He was also delighted by the idea of Murakami being defeated by Yūma. Despite this, Murakami seems to consider Kageura a nice guy, since he always takes Kageura's threats and insults lightly.

Yūma Kuga
Yūma and Kageura seem to have a good relationship, despite their rocky start. During their match, they assist each other in defeating Sumiharu Inukai and Shinnosuke Tsuji to save Chika, despite being on different teams, and they later schedule a ranked match, although Yūma gets lost on the way there and is eventually "summoned" by Mikumo. Murakami stated that Yūma would appreciate Kageura's honest nature, and would be compatible with him.

Sumiharu Inukai
Kageura hates Inukai, but Inukai is unaware of it.

Nozomi Kako
Kageura seems to dislike Kako, as he calls her "phantom hag". Kako is much more playful towards him however, and doesn't seem to mind his insults. He also fought with her over Yūma, as he has a ranked match scheduled with Yūma while Kako wanted to recruit him.
