Ayumu Narumi

Ayumu Narumi is the protagonist of the anime and manga series Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna. He is very intelligent, and is quick at figuring things out. Even so, he is afraid that he may never be as good as his perfect older brother, Kiyotaka Narumi. He is a talented pianist like Kiyotaka, an excellent cook, and cares a lot for his sister-in-law Madoka. In the manga, he tells Kirie that he was going to switch his type of woman to "Looks aside, someone who I can rely on, even when I am an inconvenience to others. It seems like I need such a girl," implying Hiyono. Ayumu is also the supposed only hope for the Blade Children and their survival. He is revealed to be a clone of his brother. In fact, he and Hizumi are the first clones to be made, and thus have a very limited life span with many biological complications. Ayumu was created as an 'insurance' for Kiyotaka by his parents. Mrs Narumi was also a pianist before she suffered an accident, resulting in the loss of function of her fingers. She tried numerous chemicals and treatments to regain the use of her fingers, which eventually led to her fingers becoming almost entirely useless. When Kiyotaka became a pianist, Mrs Narumi decided to create Ayumu to become a 'guinea pig'. If anything should ever happened to Kiyotaka, Ayumu would first undergo treatment to find out whether it was suitable for Kiyotaka's body system. However, at his last concert, Kiyotaka publicly announced that he would give up the piano to become a detective and crushed his fingers on the piano. His mother saw no more use for his clone Ayumu who was often ignored by his parents after that.In the end, he is hospitalized because of his biological complications. Having lost the use of his left arm, he continues to write music, still adhering to his way of fighting destiny: to live on, creating new opportunities and generating hope under his own power. This is the answer he gives to the Blade Children.
