Touma Kamijou

Touma Kamijou is the main protagonist of Kazuma Kamachi's A Certain Magical Index light novel series. He is just an ordinary high school student caught in the middle of a magic vs. science war. His signature ability is Imagine Breaker, which essentially negates any magic- or science-related superpower that comes into contact with his right fist, but also gives him terrible luck as a result (but not when it comes to scoring a harem of girls apparently).

Touma is one of the most popular male anime characters, especially in East Asian countries. In Takarajimasha's Konorano Japanese light novel rankings, he was one of the "Big 3" male characters (alongside Hachiman and Kirito) who dominated the top male spots during the 2010's, placing 1st on three separate editions. He's also gained recognition in China due to being in the same series as Bilibili. In contrast, Touma is relatively unpopular in Western online communities due to the anime adaptation's mixed reception there.

As a consequence of his popularity in East Asia, the spiky-haired student is a major powerhouse in ISML's male division, which has a large contingent of voters from the region. His best result came off the back of a Railgun T and Biribiri-inspired run in 2020 when he placed third after defeating Kaguya-sama's Yu Ishigami in the consolation match. Touma is ISML's most prolific pendant contestant, having the most round appearances, and tying Archer and Hachiman Hikigaya for most pendants with 4 after he won his second straight emerald pendant in ISML 2021. As it stands today, Touma's performance means that the Raildex series has a high chance to field two ISML champions of the same gender, after Accelerator's victory in 2015.
