Background[]
Gengorou was originally from a parallel Earth where magic does not exist. Here, he lived a seemingly ordinary life with his family, composed of his single mother and younger sister. However, one day, he died after being hit by a truck, after which he found himself transported to the world where UQ Holder takes place. He was also granted magical abilities based of video games, including an extra stock of lives that effectively made him immortal as long as he had lives remaining.
At some point, Gengorou crossed paths Jinbei Shishido through unknown circumstances. Coming to greatly admire him, Gengorou requested Jinbei take him as his apprentice. However, the latter refused, claiming that the former's skills were already so great that there was nothing he could learn from him. Still, Gengorou went on to respectfully refer to Jinbei as his "master", much to the latter's annoyance. Eventually, Gengorou joined UQ Holder, likely through his connection with Jinbei.

Trivia[]
- Originally the author, didn't want to write a story arc for Gengorou (Cutlass Arc), but he changed his mind later due to Gengorou being voiced by the Japanese seiyū Yūki Kaji in the anime adaptation.[8]
- His life and powers are a reference to the Isekai/another world genre, as he gained the power to stockpile extra lives and read the information on others in the form of a status screen after being hit by a truck and dying in another magic-less world.
