Overview:
Mysterious
alien invaders from another planet threaten the world,
circa 1969. Disguised as normal humans, the Invaders
threaten to destroy the earth from within. Only a super
secret world organization called A.E.G.I.S. can stop
the Invaders from taking over - and their trump cards
are "Gatekeepers" - teenagers with power over
magical "gates" of different kinds. Together,
the Gatekeepers are an unstoppable force...now if they
could only learn how to work together...
Some
Characters of Note:
 Shun
Ukiya: The second member of the Gatekeepers,
Shun is an outgoing, yet slightly overconfident
young man who is determined to make something of
himself. He learns completely by accident that he
controls the Gate of Wind and uses it to full effect
when he is in battle.While Shun may be seemingly
unflappable on the outside, he still harbors a secret
pain that stems from his father's untimely and mysterious
death. Shun is also childhood friends with Ruriko.

 Ruriko
Ikusawa:
Ruriko is an assertive, take-charge, and determined
girl who is the first of the Gatekeepers to be discovered.
She has power over the Gate of Life, and has the
ability to augment the arrows she shoots with her
Gate powers, among other things. Ruriko wasn't always
a leader type - as a shy young girl, she was ridiculed
by Shun when he called her "Runny Nose Rurippe".
Ever since then, Ruriko has been determined to prove
Shun wrong and show that she can succeed.

 Reiko
Asagiri :
The young and sheltered Reiko grew up with her nanny
for most of her life. So when she is discovered
as a Gatekeeper, it is almost entirely an accident.
Reiko tends to be a little bit spacy at times, oblivious
to many things, including danger to her own life.
However, her power using the Gate of Enchantment
is employed very effectively when she is able to
play the piano, as her music has the ability to
soothe or confuse even the most formidable of enemies.
Reiko joined the Gatekeepers because she has always
had an aspiration to be a magical "witch".

Kaoru
Konoe: Headstrong both in body and in mind,
Kaoru possesses the ability of the Gate of Strength,
and uses it to full advantage. An athlete who
has been involved in many sports, Kaoru still
possesses some guilt and helplessness over the
unintentional unfair advantage her powers give
over the "normal" athletes. As a result,
she has needed companionship and found it in the
Gatekeepers, although she thought it best to be
in solitude at first. Kaoru also develops a crush
on Shun.
