Kayaba Akihiko

Character from Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara

The creator of Sword Art Online and the architect of the death game — a genius who trapped ten thousand people in his dream castle and then fought alongside them as their strongest warrior, because the castle was always the point, not the killing.

Also known as: Heathcliff, Kayaba Akihiko, Commander Heathcliff
