Kamui Shiro (司狼 神威, Shirō Kamui) is the main protagonist of the anime/manga series, X.

Kamui was introduced as a cold, ruthless and reckless young man. Not caring if he involves other people in his affairs and destroying public property. It is only later on that he tries distance himself from others in order to protect them from the burden he carries. It slowly comes to light that he cares deeply towards Kotori and Fuma, who were the first to see his kind-hearted and gentle side. It is due to his affection for Kotori and his friendship with Fuma that he is able to better express himself later on.

After he chooses to be a Dragon of Heaven, and following Fuma's betrayal and Kotori's death, Kamui slowly opens up with his comrades who at first, he considers as his enemies as well. He slowly becomes much more open to them, but at the same time he's clouded with fear and guilt, especially knowing that he's the reason that the Dragons of Heaven are constantly exposed to dangerous situations. He tends to worry about them, being the protective and caring person that he is, due to the fact that his comrades have sacrificed their happiness and even their lives in order to protect him.
