'''Kei Sagami''' is one of the main characters of Maken X alongside the titular Maken. Kei is a teenage girl who wears a red top and skirt with matching red shoes and black stockings. Her hair flows to the right, and is colored dark blue in artwork for Maken X and in-game for both versions or black in Maken Shao's artwork. Kei is a kind, positive and caring girl. She is very friendly, being the only character in the game to genuinely wish to know more about the Maken and befriend it, even as early as the start of the game. She's a loving and compassionate character; she will tearfully cry for the Maken should it sacrifice itself for her and will fulfill her promise in the True Good ending despite her father's wishes. | '''Kei Sagami''' is one of the main characters of ''Maken X'' alongside the titular [[Maken]].

"Mature Content" |
This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these. |
“ | Hey, I just realized that we haven't introduced ourselves to each other yet! Maken ... hey, I like that name. And I am Kei Sagami. I'm sixteen, a student at Jusei Girls' School.

~ Kei Sagami to Maken in the World of Image |
Background
Kei Sagami is one of the main characters of Maken X alongside the titular Maken. Kei is a teenage girl who wears a red top and skirt with matching red shoes and black stockings. Her hair flows to the right, and is colored dark blue in artwork for Maken X and in-game for both versions or black in Maken Shao's artwork. Kei is a kind, positive and caring girl. She is very friendly, being the only character in the game to genuinely wish to know more about the Maken and befriend it, even as early as the start of the game. She's a loving and compassionate character; she will tearfully cry for the Maken should it sacrifice itself for her and will fulfill her promise in the True Good ending despite her father's wishes.
She is also determined, as she is not afraid to wield the Maken in order to save her father, even if this would mean putting her life in danger. She seems to share this trait from her mother, who was also a Fukenshi. She's also very devoted; if the Maken chooses to save Kei without sacrificing itself, Kei will express her disappointment in the Maken for saving her over her father.
She's very humane, having a general good faith in humanity and feeling sympathy for other characters in the game, particularly the sacrifices the Fukenshi must make. This is reflected in her conversations with the Maken regarding humanity. For this reason, she will question the Maken should it share an opposing view of humanity or lacks empathy. She is also not afraid to scold the Maken should it do anything she deems objectionable, such as attacking the Fukenshi.
She is very studious, as despite her age she is quite adept at Image theory and engineering, even aspiring to become a researcher like her father.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of Kei Sagami’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise! |
---|
Kei Sagami is the daughter of Hiromitsu Sagami and an unnamed Fukenshi mother. She gets involved in the Maken Project because while she was visiting the research laboratory developing the Maken, Hakke Andrey attacked. In the attack, Andrey kills Lee Fei Chao, who was supposed to receive and wield the Maken. Kei wields the Maken to rescue her father, however by doing so, her Image is absorbed by the Maken. After fending off Hakke Andrey, Kei's body is left at the institute while the Maken travels to rescue her father. Her consciousness however, appears in the Maken's psyche and they share the same sight. Thus, she serves as the Maken's only partner throughout the story. Throughout the story, Kei will ask the Maken about its opinions on humanity while expressing her own views on mankind and the characters they meet. She will also comment, either supporting or criticizing the Maken's decisions during stages. As time passes however, her health gradually deteriorates, from coughing to being unable to stand up. During cutscenes in the story, it is revealed back in the research institute that her Image is slowly being merged with the Maken's, causing her own life to whittle away in a spiritual level. Eventually Kei will lose consciousness entirely, and from then on the Maken's future decisions as well as past decisions will determine her fate. She is saved in the Saving Kei, Sacrificial and Good endings of the game. Otherwise, her Image is completely absorbed by the Maken and she dies as a result. If certain conditions are met however, she will promise to take the Maken around the world before losing consciousness. In the Saving Sagami ending, her body is now the Maken's, as both their images are completely merged. In the Saving Kei ending, her Image is separated from the Maken at the Kanazawa Research Institute, however she will express her disappointment in the Maken for not saving her father. In the Sacrificial route, her body is stolen by the Sangyokai and trapped within a crystal in the Forbidden City. Kou Yamashiro, wielding the Maken, initiates the Reverse Brain Jacking and revives her. With the power of Maken, she defeats Mr. Meteor, however will tearfully thank the Maken and promises never to forget its sacrifice as it crumbles away. In the Good ending, she is revived by her father once the Maken returns to the research institute celebrating her return with Kou. In the True Good ending epilogue, Kei meets a sealed Maken in secrecy and releases it in order to fulfill her promise to travel around the world with it. |

Equipment
- Maken: The Maken, also known as Deus Ex Machina, is the titular silent protagonist of Maken X. The Maken is an artificial demon that is capable of transforming into a sword with the help of Kei Sagami's genes. It is a sentient weapon that can attack the Image, or soul, of a target. It uses its Brain Jacking ability to overwrite the Image of other people and possess them. However, this leaves its victims without a soul. The Brain Jack ability also allows the Maken access to the memories of its host.
- Life Capsule: The life capsule recovers health, with higher level ones completely restoring all health.
- Power Up: Increases attack power for a fixed amount of time.
- Image Items: Grants Kei/Maken more image.
Notable Techniques
- Brainjack: Maken's special ability is that it can occupy the human brain and command the body. It is not that the brain is physically replaced, but rather that the Image is replaced, so the memory of the host human is maintained. For this reason, Maken uses the knowledge and abilities that was developed.
- Lock On: Maken is able to analyze and lock on to an opponent, reading their health during combat.
- Leaping Attack: Kei jumps while advancing towards the locked on opponent to lead over them and land facing their back.
- Backstep: Kei utilizes this in combat to avoid her enemies attacks.
- Deflect: Maken has the special ability to deflect projectiles, including the likes of energy blast and bazooka bullets.
- Machina Quark: Creates a shockwave from quake vibrations to attack enemies.
Other
Standard Tactics: Kei will fight with Maken using various sword attacks and attempting to absorb the enemies image.
Weaknesses: Maken is slowly eating away as Kei's image, thus overtime she will be merged fully into Maken, essentially dying.
Trivia
- If Kei's entry in the Info section is viewed after the Maken completely absorbs her Image, it will be changed to "The Image of 'Kei' disappeared".
