Sei Iori (イオリ・セイ?) is a fictional character of Gundam Build Fighters.

History

A 7th-grader attending Seiho Academy. An only child, who's his family owns the Iori Model shop, and he's been a Gunpla fan from a young age. Both his building technique and his Gundam knowledge put many adults to shame. For example, he gave an excellent overview of the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam's abilities and characteristics to a customer. (Sei also gets so excited that when talking about the Wing, he starts to briefly tell the customer about the history of the unit!) However, while being an excellent modeler, he's a poor Gunpla Battler with a long record of washing out in the first round.

It's confirmed that Sei is the creator of a customized GAT-X105 Strike Gundam model, the GAT-X105B Build Strike Gundam: A model focusing on mobility, it specializes in quick, hit-and-run attacks.

Description

Sei Iori is a young boy whose family runs Iori Hobby Shop in a small town.
