Reki Kyan

Reki Kyan is the main character from the SK8 the Infinity fandom.

Character
Reki is a high schooler student from Okinawa and a part time worker of DOPE SKETCH who tends to skate to "S", a place for skating which is hidden from police. He's a cheerful person, but he tends to feel inferior to others when he feels he's no good enough, taking an example from when he fought with Langa. Skating is also a favorite hobby for him, to the point that he always tries on dragging people to let them know about it, but gets ignored sometimes (until he meets Langa).

Canon
Langa Hasegawa

Langa is Reki's best friend from the moment he teached Langa skateboarding. They became close with it, and also since both shared the same love for skateboarding (Langa a bit more later, but still his love for skateboarding was almost as Reki's), they could strengthen their relationship. Langa has also admitted how the reason he was skating was Reki, which could mean Langa feels more than a simple friendship (confirmed in episode 8). They also mutually tell each other that both wanted the same (skating infinitely with each other), which can be interpreted as a indirect love confession. He also confirms about his happiness, which was indirectly Reki (though obvious). It's unknown if Reki feels the same as Langa, but it is strongly implied as Reki tends to be even more softer with Langa.

Not only that, considering a point like CindeReki, which is a CD Drama in which Reki dreams about being Cinderella and Langa as his prince, it's possible Reki keeps a secret crush on him, even though not being said aloud.

Kyan Family

Reki has a big family. He has three younger sisters, making him the oldest one, which are Nanaka, Chihiro, and Koyomi Kyan. He also has parents, but his father wasn't mentioned nor had an appearance till the last episode, where he's seen holding a newspaper and looking at Koyomi's new skills at the skateboard and skateboarding itself. Finally, Reki has a grandmother, who's seen in only a few episodes like in the dinner family, but her name isn't mentioned either.

Even though Reki is slightly different from the family members, he does have traits like the amber eyes, who also Chihiro, Nanaka, Masae, and Koyomi share too. The happy nature from the family is also something that Reki owns too.

Fanon
Reki is a loved character, if not the most, in the fandom. Because of his cheery behavior towards others, it made everyone quickly like him from the first moment. They also noticed about how Reki's voice (and also who he tends to act) was familiar to them, and then noticed that Reki's voice actor also voiced another character from a different anime, Denki Kaminari. Fans tend to get hurt when Reki is too, after all he was on the fans' hearts since the very beginning.

There also had been discussions about Reki's sexuality a bunch of times, proven by the fact if anyone searched his name, one of the results appears as "sexuality". This is because of his attraction to girls shown in the anime, the most known example is the unnamed girl on the boat from episode 6, and also how it was obvious to Miya and Hiromi, and his most-headcanoned attraction on Langa too because of how he acted when he managed to reconcile with Langa, though it remains like one-sided on the latter. Still, it's a most popular belief, which made fans think it was actually canon.

Due to a lack of bond between Reki and women, Reki is preferred by fans to be shipped with Langa, with the latter having a canon crush on Reki. Even so, it feels uncomfortable to fans as Reki has indeed a thing for the opposite side, so he's remained as bisexual in the fandom.
