Affiliation: Inazuma The young but highly accomplished head of the Yashiro Comission's Kamisato Clan. Cultured and polite, he is a man of many ways and means. |
Ayato Story Overview
Head Of The Kamisato Clan
Ayato is known to be the head of the Kamisato Clan, brother of Ayaka and a good friend of Thoma. Based on the other Inazuma character voicelines, Ayato seems to be a mischievous guy and a workaholic person.
Voicelines About Kamisato Ayato
Voicelines About Kamisato Ayato | |

![]() | As the head of the Kamisato Clan, brother always has a full schedule of places he needs to be. I do try my best to share his load, but there is no changing the pressure he is subjected to all year round, and the toll it takes upon him. *sigh* If you see him, remind him to take care of himself, for his sister's sake... |
![]() | Sometimes, when I'm taking a rest up in a tree, I overhear the shrine maidens talking about him. Sounds like he's pretty important and super busy most of the time. I don't get it, though - it's only work, or whatever, so why doesn't he just...not do it? |
![]() | Kamisato... One of the most distinguished clans in all of Inazuma. Despite Ayato's trickery in regard to the Tri-Commission's affairs, he is nevertheless a loyal subject. His past misdeeds shall be excused. |
![]() | Haha, I only wish I could have met Ayato sooner. He really taught me something. "You can kindle the warrior spirit even in the weakest of bugs"... Yep, I really took that one to heart. If it weren't for those words of wisdom, I'm pretty sure I would have given up beetle fighting after losing for the 780th time... Yeah, I guess sometimes it takes a warrior to understand a warrior. When we're playing trading card games or battling beetles, we're always totally on the same wavelength. |
