About
The protagonist of X, Kamui is a powerful esper whose destiny to decide whether the world should be destroyed so it may be reborn without humanity or save the world so humanity can continue to live in its current state.
In Kamui's childhood, he lived in Tokyo, across the street from the Togakushi Jinja. Shortly after moving in, Kamui became fast friends with Fūma and Kotori Monou. Kamui and Kotori showed affection for each other at a very early age, which culminated in Kamui asking Kotori whether he could become her "bride". He has sworn to Fūma to protect her and never make her cry, and in exchange Fūma promised to protect him. In the TV series, this and several other childhood scenes from the manga were replaced by a scene in which young Kamui prevents Kotori from falling out of a tree at the risk of his own life. After this incident, Fūma, grateful to Kamui for saving his younger sister, pledged to Kamui that should he ever need help, Fūma would come to his aid.
At the age of nine, Kamui left Tokyo with his mother Tōru and moved to Okinawa. They lived in relative peace for six years until Tōru's death. As Tōru burned alive, preventing Kamui from saving her with her own power, she implored Kamui to return to Tōkyō to seek his destiny.
Upon his return, Kamui appears cold, ruthless, and unsympathetic but this is an act to drive Kotori and Fūma away in an attempt to protect them. Kamui's goal is to retrieve the Shinken from the Togakushi Jinja and leave Tōkyō as quickly as possible. Kamui comes into contact with Daisuke, Arashi, and Hinoto in quite abrasive manners, resulting in several pitched battles. After Sorata's and Yuzuriha's respective arrivals, Kamui's violent behavior is tempered by their friendly demeanors.
Kamui ultimately chooses his destiny as one of the Dragons of Heaven, forcing Fūma to join with the Dragons of Earth.
After Kotori's death and Fūma's disastrous awakening as the other Kamui, he falls into a state of catatonia, directly paralleling Subaru's own experience during Tokyo Babylon. After Subaru retrieved Kamui's consciousness from the depths of his soul, the two mutually identified with one another, having lived through heartbreakingly similar circumstances of the death of loved ones at the hands of a close friend or lover. Ironically enough, it is Kotori's death that brings Kamui's kind and compassionate nature back to the surface again.
Kamui has stated that his wish is to protect Fūma and to return him to his former self at all costs—even if he has to injure Fūma in order to accomplish this goal. In the TV series he achieves his goal, though it cost him his own life, whereas in the movie Kamui decapitates Fūma, and remains the only character who stayed alive. In the manga however, the Dragon of Earth Kamui, who can see other peoples' wishes, states that this is not Kamui's true wish, and Kamui won't be able to win against him unless he realizes and changes his true wish. This is also given as the reason that Kamui is, as of yet, unable to generate a kekkai in the manga.
