him. However, it is soon revealed that Raitei and the Voodoo King are exact opposites of each other with Raitei the lord of "existence" and the Voodoo King the lord of "nothingness". The Raitei exists to defeat the Voodoo King because the Voodoo King seeks to disrupt how the world should be. MakubeX is the main antagonist of the "Limitless Fortress" arc when the GetBackers are hired to retrieve the mysterious 'IL' from him. It is later discovered that IL is a computer disc containing important data required for producing an atomic bomb. MakubeX was found in a sack as a child. Only his last name, Makube, is known, due to the fact that it was written on the bag. He later came to be known as MakubeX, the 'x' symbolizing an unknown variable, and his "name" is always written in romaji. MakubeX is a genius hacker, capable of manipulating computers to do whatever he pleases. He was originally taught by Gen but swiftly surpassed him in skill. He is 14 years old, and the youngest in all the GetBackers show He was raised by Gen, whom he calls Grandfather, but left home to join the VOLTS.

After Ginji Amano left the fortress, he, as the only one of the Four Kings remaining, took over, instituting a dictatorial rule; he was known at this period as the "young demon king". MakubeX's second-in-command is Sakura Kakei. In the "IL" arc, his four chief subordinates were Juubei Kakei, Haruki Emishi, Takuma Fudo, and Kyoji Kagami; Fudou vanished afterward, but Juubei and Emishi remained with him.
