My wild theory as a non-reader:

Spoiler:

Ichika is a male clone of Chifuyu, who retains the sister's ability to pilot an IS. Perhaps he was an experiment in trying to enable IS capability in a male.

This would also explain why Ichika doesn't have photos of himself when he was very young, because he hadn't existed yet at the time. If I'm not mistaken, there's a younger version of Chifuyu this time around, so her introduction in the novels (?) as another clone would also be related to this.

So yeah, wild theory is wild... Unlike a lot of people in this thread, I only have a limited amount of info to formulate such a guess.
