As the series continues Aichi gradually becomes more confident in himself, accumulating to his valued position as leader of the Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club.
Despite that, he has a gentle heart and sees the good in others, even being friendly towards his (former) bullies. He is weak, shy, and tends to be nervous, due to being bullied throughout most of his childhood. "Aichi" as a name originates from the third volume of the Man'yōshū, Japan's oldest collection of poetry, where it was referred to as Ayuchi, the Ayuchi-gata tidal flats. This follows a general trend in Vanguard of using historical names for characters. His forename primarily refers to the Aichi prefecture of Chubu, Japan. According to Kerokero Ace September 2011, Aichi's surname is written with the kanji for vanguard (先導), the forward element in a military formation (and, of course, a reference to the title of the franchise).
