[edit] Kirihara Brothers
Naoto
Naoto tends to be very destructive when he witnesses people disrespecting him and his younger brother, Naoya. He tends to destroy objects quite often.
voiced by; Toshiyuki Morikawa
Naoya
Naoya has the frightning ability to peek into the future of what will happen to the people he makes contact with. Thus, to prevent this, he usually asks not to be touched.

Masayuki was a lonely boy who had no friends except his beloved dog. When the dog was run over by a bunch of teenage bikers he was devestated and took revenge on the teenagers by making them commit suicide via mind control. The Kirihara brothers eventually track him down and stop his rampage. They sent him to the research center, where they themselves were sent once, to help him learn to control his powers.

It is later revealed that he himself was actually being controlled by Sonezaki Michio.
