PHYSICALITY[/u]
- 5'7".

- There are very few who dress in such a traditional manner as Shinkirō, who prefers the Dō-maru over more modern concepts. He is rarely seen without his royal blue armor with its conspicuous golden inlay and adornments on or off the field. A katana lay dormant at his left hip, dangling loosely. The few who have seen him without could tell you he is a toned fairly athletic man, but far from the considerable warriors of yore, and tan as bull's hide, as it runs deep in his family. They say his body is riddled with scars and marks, but the stories vary and could possibly be nothing more then hearsay. Truth is that there have been wars, skirmishes, and battles aplenty throughout the years and not one has Shinkirō Kawakami missed. There is no doubt that he is an experienced swordsman and like most experienced warriors, has many scars and war stories that justify them.
In public Shinkirō Kawakami carries himself proudly as, as a Samurai, he upholds the discipline of Bushidō above all else and presents it respectfully in honor of his ancestors. When not within the scrutinizing view of the Samurai elite, he is more lax and carefree, seen without his kabuto(Helmet) and sometimes missing various pieces of armor so he can lay about or relax while he spends time far from Tetsu no Kuni on missions.
COGNITION[/u]
- Shinkirō Kawakami can be broken down into four words. Honorable, Loyal, Stubborn, Self-Righteous. From the moment Kawakami was born, he was thrust into the discipline of Bushido, but that was not the only influence that molded him. The concepts of Bushido created the base from which he, himself, built from as he grew up. From witnessing bloodshed or participating in battles himself, there was never a moment when he was not changing or philosophizing over some newly discovered aspect of life. He became highly analytic, philosophical, and experienced in life and war, but often times influenced by the ideals passed down to him by his forefathers. He believes that, above all else, morally and honorably is how one should live his or her life. As he strives to be.
There are instances when he impedes another's path to preach or attempt to instill his wisdom on another when he feels they are walking an immoral or unrighteous path in life. He never gives up on his friends, allies, or the people that he sees around him that choose poor paths. There is a kind of endless hope for humanity in Kawakami. Because he refuses to give up, he stubbornly pursues his goals to the end, for better or worse. - Shinkirō has a habbit of scratching the bridge of his nose when he's thinking, bored, confused, or nervous.

The secret use of this armor is that, although heavy, it feeds off of the Samurai's special seal, which gushes raw chakra into the armor in order to make the otherwise impossible to move heavy armor as smooth and gentle as a cloth. There's only one place an armor like this can be made - Iron.
