Extremely muscular, He wears metal gauntlets on his proportionately enormous hands, and metal spikes on his shoulders.

Powers and Abilities
Three-star Goku Uniform:
 * 1) Shackle Regalia (縛の装 Shibaru no Sō)
 * Ira's three-star Goku Uniform transforms into a diabolical-looking bondage suit which renders him invulnerable to external physical attacks while also boosting his strength and size relative to the amount of damage absorbed. The outer suit is actually made out of extremely tough cloth armor, not Life Fibers, so attacks that seek to absorb Life Fibers are also ineffective. If an opponent were to enter Shackle Regalia's fibers, then the fibers can tighten around the armor to choke the opponent.
 * Secret Technique: Self-Flaggelation - If the opponent, knowing Ira's special ability, were to refuse to attack him while he is in Shackle Regalia, Ira can use the whips of the suit to essentially attack himself, allowing him to gain the energy for Scourge Regalia's release by himself.
 * 2. Scourge Regalia (死縛の装 Shibaku no Sō)


 * A follow-up transformation to Shackle Regalia which allows Ira to unleash an explosive area of effect attack powered by all damage previously absorbed. This form also grants Ira multiple spiked-whip-like tentacles with remarkable reach and destructive power. There is also a spiked chakram attached to the back of the armor and it can be pulled out in multiple numbers for a simultaneous attack with the whips. Finally, Scourge Regalia's arms can morph into a mold of what he states to be the ideal, proper high school girl and in turn be used to crush opponents to mold them into a proper student.

Personality
He is the most outwardly loyal of the Four Elites. His description on the official Kill La Kill page states that he has sworn his undying loyalty to Satsuki, and the other Four Elite's pages did not mention Satsuki.

He is very serious and has no tolerance for breaking rules or fooling around. He constantly berates his colleagues and keeps the students in line when Satsuki is not around, and is widely considered to be her right-hand man.

Ira also has a more violent side. He enjoys intimidating people greatly, and has absolutely no problem with killing people and making examples of them.

He is a blatant masochist, and thoroughly enjoys the pain inflicted upon him during battles, all while exclaiming stereotypically masochist statements like "Punish me more," or "I've been a bad boy!"

History
When they were in middle school, he wore his jacket loosely on his shoulders and had red spiked bracelets instead of gauntlets. He had chin-length hair that he wore loose, not slicked back. He is shown to be large and muscular for his age.

He is implied to have met Satsuki right after Jakuzure did, as Inumuta is skeptical of her leadership before Satsuki battles Uzu Sanageyama, but Jakuzure and Gamagōri are shown to be loyal.

During his Junior year of middle school, Ira confronted a group of juvenile delinquents in the act of bullying a small boy into committing suicide by threatening to abuse the power and influence of their parents to have the boy's father fired from work. After Ira failed to rescue the boy from a roof-top leap, Satsuki Kiryūin, a freshman at the time, made a sudden appearance, and circumvented the boy's death by padding his fall with a "Kiryūin Deluxe Trampoline". After single-handedly defeating the perpetrators with her katana, Satsuki announced her rule over the entire junior high school body and removed the bullies parents from their positions of power. This was Ira Gamagōri's first encounter with Satsuki Kiryūin.

After graduating from middle school, Ira awaited Satsuki's graduation, and enrolled with her at Honnōji Academy.

Relationships
Satsuki Kiryūin: He has sworn his ultimate loyalty to her, and his job is to enforce her rules. His thoughts seem to center around pleasing her.
