[edit] Character history
[edit] First season
After Zero proves himself to be a better leader by defeating the Britannian Army at Shinjuku and engineering the rescue of Suzaku Kururugi, Kaname Ōgi gladly hands over leadership of his resistence cell, which later becomes the basis of the Order of the Black Knights. Ōgi is made the deputy commander.
Following a battle in which the Japanese Liberation Front is all but wiped out, Ōgi finds Villetta Nu left for dead at a ship dock. He nurses her back to health, and learns that she has selective amnesia. He seems to recognize that she has seen Zero personally, but can neither bring himsefl to kill her or use Refrain to recover her memories. The two grow close as time passes, and he harbors hope that Euphemia Li Britannia's Special Administration Region in Japan will work out. he is devastated when it seems to be a ruse orchestrated to massacre the Elevens.
During the ensuing rebellion, Ōgi runs the command center at Ashford Academy. Villetta Nu, having recovered her memories, tracks him down and is caught by the guards. Ōgi claims she's an informant and asks to speak to her in private, only to be surprised when she shoots him in the stomach. As the wound isn't fatal, he recovers enough to later order Kallen to follow the Lancelot, which is in turn chasing Zero's Gawain.
[edit] Season Two
Following the failed uprising, Ōgi is arrested and imprisoned. Gilbert G.P. Guilford threatens to execute all 255 captured Black Knights, Ōgi included, in an attempt to draw out Zero. Though the ruse is successful, Zero rescues every prisoner. He appears to bear no ill will towards Zero, knowing that Zero alone can liberate Japan. He appears to still harbor some feelings for Villetta Nu, preventing her from being shot during the opening ceremony for the Special Administration Region in Japan when he and all one million participants dress as Zero. She suspects it is him, but he doesn't confirm her suspicions. He bids her farewell as they leave for their self-imposed exile.
