Personality[]

Kyoichiro is described as a 'normal-personalized witch' by Honoka Takamiya. However, he seems to be hesitant within the student council, but he also has a great interest in making Honoka his 'prince'. It is revealed in chapter 38 that this obsession was due to brainwashing by Natsume Mikage's obsessed mother.

Background[]

Chronology[]

Kyoichiro first appears during the student council meeting as adviser where he is ordered to separate Honoka Takamiya from 'princess Ayaka Kagari'. Then, he talks with Honoka and Ayaka about a problem as he reveals his identity as witch to Honoka and warns him about undoing seals of the white princess Evermillion in near future.

Relationships[]

Family[]

Shiori Mikage[]

Shiori is Kyoichiro's older sister.

Natsume Mikage[]

Natsume is Kyoichiro's niece who asks Honoka Takamiya to keep eye on her as her fellow student during his meeting with him. Later in Ch.34, Natsume mentions that she is helping Honoka and Ayaka Kagari for Kyoichiro sake because he is her Master and his orders are absolute.

Others[]

Honoka Takamiya[]

Kyoichiro has a certain interest on Honoka.

Powers and Abilities[]

As stated above, Kyoichiro's powers are including manipulation of people's memories and transferring people's consciousness into another dimension which he could create by his own.

Despite of being known as Workshop Witch, that statement is debatable. There is no media in the Witch Craft Works series, that indicates Kyoichiro is a Workshop Witch. In fact, Ayaka Kagari mentions him as "... an enemy ...".

It is suggested that he is not a witch at all, but might be a person of mischief; from another place or time. This would explain why his power (which he addresses as scientific experiments) seems to appear magic-like.

There is a term used in a TV SciFi from the 90's "Babylon 5", which seems apropos here. The term is "TechnoMage"; a person who uses various forms of science and technology to perform tasks and feats that operate like supernatural magic. This is seen clearly in the conversation between Kyoichiro and Honoka Takamiya, within a created environment which provided isolation from interference from Ayaka Kagari. His shield only held for a few moments, as Ayaka's attack on it was devastating, and almost lethal to Kyoichiro.

Quotes[]

Etymology[]

  • The name Kyoichiro means "respectful, polite" (恭) (kyo), "one" (一) (ichi) and "son" (郎) (ro).
  • Kyoichiro's surname Mikage means "deep" (深) (mi) and "shadow, shade, other side" (影) (kage).

Trivia[]

  • Kyoichiro swore his statements in the name of Robert A. Heinlein, an influential American science-fiction writer, which makes another hint that he might actually be a scientist.
