Kasai Hikari

Kasai Hikari (火災光) is a scientist humanoid reploid that first appears in the episode Looks Are Deceiving from "The Gear Powers". At first, everyone (except Pharaoh Man) was afraid of him, thinking he was a scary sorcerer or one of Marysalis Shimmer's minions, but thanks to Pharaoh Man and Mega Man he manages to make friends with others Robot Masters and Reploids and often helps them with his knowledge about robot diseases. Despite being built in Japan, he has an African accent and when speaking he does it in rhymed couplets, although this isn't very evident in the first season. His name means "light of fire" in Japanese because of his related fire powers.

Appearance
Kasai Hikari's armor represents the green and purple colors. He has a helmet similar to Gate from Mega Man X6 with a light green glass on her forehead, dark skin and wears square glasses. Also, he is dressed in a brown robe with spiral buttons and some drawings of plants and flowers. When he is Super Kasai, his armor is red, yellow, and purple.

Personality
Kasai Hikari is an intelligent, cold, wise and intuitive scientist who for the most part prefers to work alone in his laboratory and doesn't tolerate distractions, but is always ready to help any robot, reploid or even person, to give advice on how to use plants and herbs to make medicine. As a result, many scientists around the world admire him for his incredible botanical knowledge, wisdom, and determination. In later seasons, Kasai becomes Acid Man's best friend to the point of becoming his part-time partner.

Abilities
As previously stated, Kasai Hikari is a great potion master who possesses a lot of knowledge about robot diseases and medical skills of using plants and herbs to create remedies and medicines that can surpass even the best modern medicine. Like Butterflette, he also has nature-based powers, including geokinesis and chlorokinesis, but unlike her, his strength is independent on his surrounding environment so he can control nature anywhere he wants. He is also able of creating barriers and shields made of any type of plant whether leaves, flowers or even vines.

Super Kasai
As his Japanese name implies and when he is "Super Kasai", he has pyrokinesis as his special ability, which can create and control fire in his environment. He can spontaneously generate and manipulate flames and heat, primarily creating heating balls of lights. He is also able of lighting forest fires, firing heat rays and projectiles, creating fire walls, force fields, barriers, shields, explosions, vortices, and even using fire to fly.
