PERSONALITY
KOSAKU is a plain young man; seeking enlightenment into the true passion of the blade. His attire matches accordingly, he wears a traditional Osaku-Hakoto or a Ronin Robe; commonly called the Wear of a Wandering Blade or a Man without a Master. KOSAKU on the other hand disregards what others think or believe, and only lives for the blade, and all the knowledge he can possess in his life time. His hair is rather unique, long, dark, and cut back to avoid it getting into his eyes for any reason. It reaches down to his waist, and is often tied into a Topknot-styled ponytail or a Maku or commonly known as a low-top ponytail.
Along his face, he wears a mark of the blade or what is known as a modern-day term known as a Osu-mark. A small marking under the right or left eye that marks former house or place, his is along his right side, and is that of a small Kanji meaning Peace. Along with this he wears a normal-attire for his place, a slim grey Hakoto-based Kimono. The upper shirt is a pure white, almost darkly, and his Obi is a stylish straw style. His blade is tightly wound into the right side of his waist. His shoes are a common site for his type, a pair of wooden clogs (geta), and hemp socks (tabi).
He is commonly known to wear a Raincoat made out of Straw (kappa) that is designed to rest firmly over his right shoulder. Atop of that, he is known to wear a Straw Hat.
HISTORY
KOSAKU is a calm, ceremonial young man. He believes everything can be solved by simple peace, and dislikes any kind of heavy confrontation. The only time he is known to draw his blade in anger is to protect something he cares heavily about, or when time dedicates it is time to fight. KOSAKU is considered a wise man by some but believes to truly master a skill or style, one must never master it. To become one, one must be many, and to fight, one must be willing to stand down. These are his beliefs. These are considered his laws.
KOSAKU dislikes aggression towards those unable to fight back, he stands to protect those who can not protect themselves, courage, bravery, and understanding are his daily tenants. KOSAKU has one dream, and one goal. He wishes to master the usage of blades, all types, all styles, he wishes to one day pass on his ideals, and skills to another, and continue the cycle in an attempt to bring peace.
KOSAKU though considered a pacifist, isn't known to hold back when battle is issued. When his blade is drawn, he changes. He becomes a beast on the field of battle, his strikes are never held back, his movements are fast, his mind sharp, and each moment precise to the level of a surgeon. He has an unusual quirk though, when he has defeated an opponent whom is still living. He leaves them be, if he understands they can no longer fight him. He stops, and allows them to get stronger to continue the attempt.
Many feel this will one day be the end of him, and he understands that but he can not kill a man or woman who can not fight back, nor would he ever think about killing an unarmed person or innocent creature.
SECRETINVENTORY
- The only known History about KOSAKU is that he was once a formal Bodyguard for a Powerful Man in The Land of Springs, and has traveled to the Land of Snow, Rice, and Tea in search of his true identify with the blade.
