Hōka Inumuta

Hōka Inumuta (犬牟田 宝火) is a main character in Kill la Kill. One of the student council's Four Elites. He is in charge of Honnōji Academy's information and strategy committee, aiding the student council by analyzing information via his laptop. He is also in charge of analysis of the Goku uniforms research in the Sewing Club.

Appearance
Houka has a tealish hair color and neat hair. He has a collar-neck suit, which at the collar, opens whenever he talks. He also wears sunglasses.

Personality
A hacker and genius, Hōka cares most for his data than anything else, even willing to lose his position and become a no-star in order to keep the data he collected in his fight against Ryūko Matoi. As Mako unfortunately found out,  Hōka  is extremely protective of this data and in turn his laptop, with any actions that can cause potential damage resulting in him losing his cool and going into a comically portrayed  rage.

Powers and Abilities
Three-Star Goku Uniform "Probe Regalia" (探の装, Saguru no Sō)
 * With this uniform, Houka can analyze anything around him and prepare himself accordingly for the situation. His suit contains keyboards, which he rapidly types on. The suit can also store data. Supposedly, if he manages to completely analyze his opponent, his uniform allows him to defeat them instantly, though this has only been shown against someone wearing a 5-Star Goku Uniform. The suit also has a maximum processing capacity that can be overwhelmed by, according to Ryuko, making a crazy attack even crazier.

Optical Camouflage (光学迷彩, Kōgaku Meisai)
 * Probe Regalia can generate camouflage, essentially allowing Houka to become invisible for an unspecified duration. However, the camouflage can be disrupted by massive damage.

History
Five years ago before his days at Honnoji Academy, Hoka Inumuta was a freelance hacker genius who aspired to challenge himself. He did this by targeting the Revocs Corporation that belonged to the Kiryuin family and used his hacking skills to bypass their security and send their stocks into free fall. However, he underestimated their capabilities to track and find him and was eventually chased down by their security teams. His undeniable skill at hacking the tightest security in the world, however, led to him being invited to Honnoji by Satsuki, who told him that he would be able to change the real world, instead of a virtual one.
