Kihara Amata is a member of the Kihara family and the commander of Hound Dog, an Academy City black ops unit. In the past he was also Accelerator's power developer, and thus he knows almost everything there is to know about Accelerator's vector control power. During Vento's assault on the city, he and the Hound Dogs were tasked with kidnapping Last Order as part of Aleister's plan to use Fuze Kazakiri against the intruder; a mission that led to him meeting Accelerator once more. Amata's superior fighting skills and extreme knowledge of Accelerator's power gave him the ability to severely beat down Accelerator twice, but he was taken off guard and overwhelmed by Accelerator's awakening and manifesting his dark wings.
