I know that Koukin Shuuyu is "a" main character, and I know he is not the
protagonist. But what I'm wondering is, does he play a big enough role in the
series where he would show up in almost every episode or at least referred to.

One of my pet peeves is ecchi genre with a female protagonist. I'm a big
disliker of shoujo anime. Although I know this isn't one.

I've been looking at this anime for a while, but the ratings and reviews have
been keeping me at bay. The female protagonist doesn't make it any easier to
swallow, either.

ikkitousen
Does Koukin Shuuyu play a big main role in Ikkitousen?


No, he doesn't play much of a main character role, though he's important in
the first series as someone who's there to help explain what's going on to the
audience. The series/franchise focuses mainly on **Hakufu Sonsaku** , his
cousin. Although he's listed as a main character in most of the shows from the
franchise, so are a lot of the other fighters from the school, who don't
always appear in every episode.

For example, in **Ikkitousen: Xtreme Xecutor** , it seems Shuuyu is listed as
a main character but I can't remember seeing him at all in the series, if only
in passing.

As for the franchise itself, and this is purely opinion, I've heard that the
Battle Vixens manga that the show was adapted from is superior to the various
anime. While it is in the ecchi genre, there's a lot of focus on the fighting
(and clothes magically getting ripped to shreds during fights), and while very
liberally taken, the background link to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is
mildly compelling.
