Tenro Horai



Tenro Horai is the main villainess from Ikaruga. The leader of the Horai Nation, she was also an esper, having found the Stone-Like in a desert cave within her country. The power emanating from the object granted her unimaginable powers, but drove her insane as result. Believing herself to now possessing the Power of the Gods, she and her followers, now calling themselves the "Divine Ones", started a military assault, conquering all nations in the world "in the name of peace".

The resistance group, Tenkaku, was formed to fight Horai and free their people, but they were easily wiped out. Miraculously, a single Tenkaku pilot named Shinra survived, crash-landing in the remote village of Ikaruga, where the exiled elders retired. The elders there save Shinra's life, but he was determined to defeat Horai, so they gave to him the Ikaruga, which they had built themselves. Shinra is later joined by Kagari, a former Horai soldier who Shinra defeated but spared her life. The two are launched from the Sword of Acala, taking on the skies to fight the Divine Ones. After a long fight they destroy various of Horai's ships, ending facing Horai herself, who had mounted the Stone-Like on her ship to harness it's power. She ends defeated, and as her ship's explosion the Stone-Like emerges and activates. Shinra destroys it by absorbing it's power and launching a suicide attack.
