Ickshonpe Katocha (イックションペ=カットゥーチャ, Ikkushonpe Kattūcha) is a Single-Star Hacker Hunter.[1]

Appearance[]

Ickshonpe is a slim man that wears a wide variety of colored clothing. He's seen wearing blue pants, a purple long sleeve shirt, and yellow gloves. He is seemingly always wearing what appears to be a white-colored panda-shaped mask with light cyan ears, large, cartoonish eyes, sharp serrated teeth, and a red dot on its forehead with the characters "Pe" in it.

Personality[]

Not much is known about Ickshonpe's personality other than he never speaks and has only communicated using written statements. He is uninterested in what happens outside of the net, which he claims not to be his world, displaying a considerable degree of alienation from reality.[1]

Background[]

He is claimed to be a resident of the "digital world".[1] Based on his number of votes despite expressing no interest in being chairman, it is presumable that he is well-liked in the Hunter Association.

Plot[]

13th Hunter Chairman Election arc[]

Ickshonpe secures enough votes during the first round and second rounds of the 13th Hunter Chairman Election to place 3rd both rounds[2][3] and place 4th in the third round.[4] Despite personally abstaining from voting, he still places 6th in the fourth round, becoming one of the top sixteen candidates of the round and advancing to the fifth round.[5] He places 5th in the fifth round, becoming one of the top eight candidates of the round and advancing to the sixth round. In the sixth round, he places 8th with zero votes, but a revote of that round is held because the required conditions were not met.[6] In the seventh round, Ickshonpe ties with Botobai for 7th place with zero votes and is eliminated from the Chairman race, with only the top four being able to advance to the next round.[7]

Ickshonpe's Speech

Ickshonpe gives his statement

At the beginning of the eighth round, he gives a speech stating that he doesn't care about the election as it's not his reality and asks Ging if he would like to trade the "White Spear of Glory" for the "Holy Golden Flag", implying that he knows Ging.[8]

Trivia[]

Spell Card Store

The Spell Card Shop, likely modeled after Ickshonpe's appearance

  • His name is a corruption of "Escape", both a computer key and his behavior towards reality.
  • Ickshonpe is speculated to stand for the "I" in Greed Island's title. First, the Spell Card Shop in Masadora bears his mask's likeness.[10] In addition to his status as a Hacker Hunter and his belief that everyone else's world is not his reality, he knows Ging personally and asks if he wants to trade the "White Spear of Glory" for the "Holy Golden Flag", both of which could be game-related items.[8]
