Kaiji Ganto

Age: 65 Gender: Male Height: 185 Occupation: Chief of Police Official Art The eccentric chief of police in Rise from the Ashes. Personality: Externally, Gant is usually cheerful and a strong leader of the police force, if not a bit eccentric. He calls most people by pet names, plays with his hair, and is prone to long, eerie pauses. Despite his oddities, however, he is a clever and calculating man who knows just how to get what he wants. Misc Facts: Gant loves swimming, and suggests it often. He also has a huge organ in his office which, according to Gumshoe, is very loud when he plays. Gant is character designer Kazuya Nuri's favorite character. He was modeled after Zeus. Takumi said that when the script was first written they modeled Gant's character after their image of a television producer. Friends and Family: Gant has no known family. But he used to work with Lana when they were both detectives, and were known as the "Legendary Duo." Name Origin: English: Gant was probably taken directly from hisJapanese name. But, "le gant" also means "the glove" in French. Damon may come from "Dameon", which is a name often associated with evil (partially due to the old horror movie The Omen in which that was the name of the Devil's son). Japanese: A fan suggested to me that the Japanese name (in terms of the kanji chosen) may come from an old Chinese saying along the lines of: "You can pick on the mountains, but don't pick on the sea [because the sea is merciless]." That it's almost Buddhist-sounding and is supposed to imply that he's all forgiving. Which...he's not! I've also heard that it may be the Romanization of a foreign language word, but I'm not sure of what (other than le gant mentioned above). French: Damien is the French equivalent of Damon.
