Cardiophylax (Kenji)

The «Cardiophylax» (心肺機能) was a series of lightweight protective upper-body metal armor created by «Brightscale» member Akiye Miyomoto for use by guild-leader Kenji Hiroshi.

Akiye forged new armor, always to this same design, for Kenji frequently throughout his adventures in.
