A Ka Kin is a 3000-Man Commander of the Qin Military and commander in the Gyoku Hou Army. He was a member of the A Kou Army but later transferred to the Gyoku Hou Army after their promotion into a army.

Appearance

A Ka Kin wears a uniform set of armor with a cape. He has three goatee beard and wide eyes with pupils that seems to be blank.

His helmet has a similar design to the Ou Sen's army officers with three pairs of horn from sides.

Personality

A Ka Kin is described by Kan Jou to have a peculiar personality, which is why he remained a 1000-Man Commander despite many recognizing his talents. He has a tendency to act on his own without permission and outright ignore orders, which hasn't changed since joining the Gyoku Hou Army.

A Ka Kin is a talkative and opportunistic man, often displaying excitement and confidence whenever he engages in a dangerous mission or situation. He has a signature word tick or laugh "gi" / "gigi," which he uses on many occasions. It is uncertain whether he is laughing, or it is just a bad habit of his. He is often seen smiling at all times, the rare occasion he wasn't was after rescuing A Kou and running away from Ba Nan Ji and Gyou'un in which Ou Hon ordered a full scale withdraw.

He bears some resemblance to Great General Tou's way of teasing his fellow comrades, listing them as "killed in action" despite being alive and well. On the 15th day of the Battle at Shukai Plains, he revealed to have won a bet against Dan Sa on whether or not Ou Hon could kill Gyou'un.

History

A Ka Kin was a member of A Kou Army for years, but he was stuck at the rank of 1000-Man Commander due to his difficult personality.

Story

Western Zhao Invasion Arc

A Ka Kin charging the Ba Nan Ji Army in tandem with the Gyoku Hou Unit's attack.

A Ka Kin was a part of the A Kou Army during the invasion who was placed on the left side of the army. On the 2nd day of the Battle at Shukai Plains when Ou Hon flanked the right side of Ba Nan Ji’s army, A Ka Kin joined the attack while encouraging his soldiers to show off their strengths in order to impress the young master. Afterward, he rushed over to Ou Hon's aid, taking a detachment of 200 cavalry and charged into a 1000-man cavalry unit trying to flank from behind sent by Chou Ga Ryuu. Ou Hon orders Kou Ho to take 30 soldiers and make sure to save A Ka Kin if his unit got wiped out.

A Ka Kin saving A Kou from Ba Nan Ji and Gyou’un's strikes.

On the 9th day of the Battle at Shukai Plains, before Gyou’un and Ba Nan Ji could finish off A Kou, A Ka Kin appeared and was able to save his commander from the Zhao generals' vicious attack. A Ka Kin praises his horse, Sku Ka and tells the A Kou soldiers not to celebrate just yet as Gyou’un and Ba Nan Ji prepare to chase him.

On the 15th day, after Shin and Ou Hon pushed the right wing, he was tasked to assist him and the Hi Shin Unit that were being pinned by the Kin Mou Army.

Shiyuu Conflict Arc

A Ka Kin left the A Kou Army and joined the newly established Gyoku Hou Army, in between Ou Hon's promotion to the rank of a General and the Gyoku Hou Unit's transformation into an army.

He is seen leading 3000 cavalries under Ou Hon's command but ignores his orders and strikes even deeper into the Zhao formations, but Ou Hon is fine with it since he is keeping it under control. Ou Hon orders Kan Jou and his unit to aim for the Zhao's HQ in correspondence to A Ka Kin's attack.

Battle of Eikyuu Arc

A Ka Kin and the Gyoku Hou getting ready to join the fray against the Zhao army led Ko Chou Army.

A Ka Kin, Kan Jou, Ban You, and Ou Hon are seen watching the heavily injured, defeated Qin soldiers return from the frontlines of the Battle of Eikyuu. While the rest of the Gyoku Hou Commanders show their worry, A Ka Kin shows that he's excited as it's going to be their turn to attack soon. Ma Ron arrives to tell them Kan Ki's overall strategy in taking Eikyuu. Kan Jou is adamant in not taking part of the battle as it's far too reckless, but A Ka Kin doesn't view like that which annoys Kan Jou. After Ou Hon accepts the task, the Gyoku Hou match towards Eikyuu and clash with the Zhao armies led by Gaku Haku Kou.

After days of fighting, A Ka Kin is tasked by Ou Hon to lead a separate unit and pincer Zhao in three days. During the climb, multiple horses died but A Ka Kin made sure to take additional ones so that it didn't hinder their march in any major way. After they climb the top of the mountains, they saw that the rest of the Gyoku Hou Army was annihilated, but then they notice the Hi Shin Unit was the on the horizon.

While the Hi Shin Unit began their counter offensive, A Ka Kin moved in tandem with them as he and his unit pincers Gaku Haku Kou Army's forces. Instead of attacking, his unit directly moves around in order to put psychological pressure on them. This greatly helped the Hi Shin Unit to push their advance as they almost reached Zhao's HQ.

After Ri Shin slays Gaku Haku Hou, A Ka Kin takes advantage of the commotion and kills Ki Shou, the head tactician of the Zhao army by beheading him. This prevents the army from making a comeback and throws them into disarray as they route.

Hango Campaign Arc

A Ka Kin and the Gyoku Hou are once agian assigned to fight alongside the Hi Shin Unit, the Yo Tan Wa Army, and the Ou Sen Army.

Talented but has a difficult personality

A Ka Kin is noted by Kan Jou to be a military prodigy. However, due to his rough personality, he was stuck at the rank of a 1000-Man Commander. Because of that, he was considered the number one wasted potential in the A Kou Army, however, after transferring to the Gyoku Hou Army, he is noted to have become a central figure and contributing factor to their newfound overwhelming strength as a newfound army.

Because of his talents, it has garnered him impressive accomplishments like saving General A Kou during the Battle at Shukai Plains and helping turn the tide of the Battle of Eikyuu.

Physical Abilities

Master Swordsman: A Ka Kin possesses a strong martial prowess and shows high proficiency with a Kris sword, being able to slice any opponents that come across him.

Leadership

A Ka Kin is a brave commander that leads fearless and somewhat reckless charges on the frontlines. He usually rallies his soldiers to strike deep within enemy formations. A good example is when he led a detachment of 200 soldiers to fend off a 1000-man cavalry unit.

Tactical Abilities

A Ka Kin possesses sharp senses for the battlefield and can correspond well to his allies' movements when needed. This is first seen when he flanked the Ba Nan Ji Army after Ou Hon's unexpected attack on them and later setting off to stop the Chou Ga Ryuu Army's cavalry reinforcements without any instructions or signals.

Against a powerful martial opponent like Ba Nan Ji, he used hit-and-run tactics without facing him directly for too long to distract the Zhao General. He also uses trickery and his own brilliant wits against enemies that he deems troublesome which was fantastically shown when he saved A Kou's life during Ba Nan ji and Gyou'un's combo attack as he used throwing knives as a distraction against the monstrous duo.

Despite his low rank and position, many officers within the A Kou Army listen to his tactical advice on the battlefront and during war councils, especially after A Kou was taken down due to his injuries.
