Ueki Kousuke

Японское имя:

植木 耕助

Kosuke Ueki is the main character in the series. He is in Class 1-C at Hinokuni Junior High School. Ueki's ability is given to him by Kobayashi (a.k.a. Mr. K), who is also Ueki's homeroom teacher. He is also seen wearing pinkish-red shoes during his first fight with Robert Haydn.

Ueki is an unusually calm individual, and doesn't care about what happens to him. He can be found snoozing in class, letting children use him as a target for shooting soccer balls (or in one case, a surfboard), and also calling the police without panicking when he faces a gang of rowdy teenagers. However, he cares for people around them, even going as far as saving Robert Haydn from falling debris in the Dougra Mansion. He also seems to have a strong battle sense, as he often finds his opponent's weak points, or unique strategies to defeat them.

According to a short profile of the main characters of The Law of Ueki (published in the end of manga vol. 16 by the author), Ueki's hobbies include cleaning up his town. In the first volume of the manga, Ueki is seen planting trees in the town park.

Ueki is a genuinely kind person who is always trying to help people. He is also actually a heavenly being sent to Earth by his father in order to take part in this tournament (but unfortunately, his father did not get to become a king candidate so Ueki got picked by Mr. K instead). Being a heavenly being allows him powers beyond his tree-making skills.

During the battle to win the talent of blank, Ueki discovers that he is not just a celestial, but a Neo-celestial. Neo-celestials have more power than most celestials, due to them having both normal Celestial Sacred Treasures in combination with their Power User abilities (granted by the tournament). Ueki uses that combo to win battles creatively. His Level 2 ability is the ability to revert other powers back to their base sources, or neutralize them and their secondary effects; i.e., recycling, a-->b-->a, bringing them back full circle.
