Ai
no Kusabi Encyclopedia As
I go through the CD drama (and later, the novel) I’m picking up random tidbits
of information I didn’t know before. So
I’ve decided to compile it into an Encyclopedia of terms for quick references. If you have any questions, comments, or
corrections, please email me at croikpotato@hotmail.com. Thanks! Several
of these are things spoken in English (or just trying to be English), and I’ve
treated them as proper nouns. For
definitions including “could be,” these are things I’ve heard mentioned in the
drama/novel, but weren’t well explained, so I’m really just guessing from the
context what they are. If anyone knows
better, let me know ^^.

|
| A-C Troy |
Could be a
section of Tanagura |
| Academy Virgins | Pets that are especially prevented from coupling for breeding purposes. |
| Aircar | Some form of transportation in Tanagura |
| Aisha | Another Blondie. Owned the Pet Stee, and sold him to a Midas brothel in the CD drama. |
| Amoi | The planet on which Ai no Kusabi takes place. |
|
Apatia |
A section of Tanagura where expensive apartments are kept for Blondie Pets. |
| Bison | A gang in the Ceres slums. Used to be headed by Riki, but later by Guy. |
| Black Market | In essence, an underground smuggling ring run by the Blondies which has led to its boss, Iason, becoming the target of assassination attempts. |
|
Blondies |
Society Elites, created by Jupiter. They all have gold-blond hair, are tall, strong, and have IQs over 300. They are, however, sterile, to avoid breeding, and because it’s considered taboo for them to engage personally in sexual activity, they often keep Pets for their entertainment. |
| Ceres | The slums in Midas, populated mostly by Mongrels. |
| D-Type Pet Ring | The kind of Pet Ring that Riki wears, which is not only identification and a tracking device, but can also inflict pain on its bearer if attempted to be removed. |
| Dana Bahn | An abandoned city outside Tanagura where a resistance against Jupiter was once staged. The metallic shields protect it from scanners and tracers. |
| Daryl | Iason’s Furniture from the time he had Riki, who once tried to help Riki escape Tanagura. |
Enif |
A pet belonging to the Blondie Kyle, who Riki punches at a Party. Later does manual labor for the Black Market – both parts shown in the Anime. |
| Eos | The central tower of Tanagura where the Blondies chill |
| Free Party | Parties held by the Blondies in which Pets are paired off and have sex for their master’s entertainment. |
| Furniture | In charge of taking care of a Blondie’s Pets. Castrated to keep them from engaging the Pets themselves. They control just about everything when it comes to Pets. According to Daryl, Furniture are looked down on by even the Pets, and are treated just as poorly by their masters. |
| Great Ward | Could be another name for Blondie Parties |
| Guy | A member of Riki’s gang, Bison, and also Riki’s former Pairing Partner (lover). Assumed leadership in Riki’s absence. |
| Iason Mink | Head Blondie of Tanagura, Jupiter’s favorite and Raoul’s best friend. Also the leader of the Black Market. His relationship with Riki is the basis for the Ai no Kusabi story. |
| Jena | The Pet Raoul ended up breeding Mimea with. He's apparently good looking but a conceited jerk and sex fiend. |
Jupiter |
The AI super computer which governs Amoi. |
| Katze | Formerly Iason’s Furniture, now a key figure in the Black Market. |
Kiira |
Could be one of Iason’s production plants in A-C Troy, or the person in charge of said factory. |
| Kirie/Killie | A new member to Bison. |
Kiss Mark |
I assume they
mean a hickey. |
Kyle |
A Blondie in Tanagura, Enif’s owner. Riki calls him gaudy, and according to Raoul he seems to be a gossip. |
| Lusa | Another Pet who doesn't like Riki. Gender unknown. |
|
Lynched |
The word Pets use for when they gang up on another Pet who has tattled on one of them. |
Midas |
A satellite city of Tanagura. Contains the Ceres slums. |

Pairing Partner |
A term for male lovers |
| Party | A Blondie social gathering in which Pets are shown off and made to “perform”. |
| Pet | Sex toys kept by the Tanagura Blondies. A Pet is usually between the ages of 15 and 19, and is usually kept for no more than a year. Afterwards they’re sold off to brothels or into manual labor. Their every need is attended to by the Furnitures, and each wears a Pet Ring for identification. |
| Pet Academy | An Academy where Pets are bred, trained, and sold at high prices. |
| Pet Ring | The only form of identification used by Pets, which allows them to move about the city. Usually a Pet Ring is a bracelet, necklace, or ring—Riki’s happens to be a cock ring. This is apparently not the norm. |
| Raoul | A Blondie in Tanagura, Iason’s best friend, Mimea’s owner. According to Iason he may have some curious tastes in Pets. |
| Rasshi | Could be a place in Tanagura with a production plant of some kind. Ringa works there. |
