Kanata Kamado

Kanata is a teenager of average build whose short black hair falls into a tidy fringe across his brow. His gentle eyes are dark violet ringed with paler lavender, and he tends to keep a blank expression that strongly recalls his ancestor Kanao.

He wears his high school uniform, which includes a pale blue dress shirt under a sleeveless white v-neck cardigan, plain black trousers, and a black necktie. He finishes the look with dark brown dress shoes and a white-banded watch on his left wrist.

Much like Kanao, Kanata usually wears a vacant look and speaks to people in an even, monotone way, blurting out whatever crosses his mind. He also has a precise, almost mathematical streak, recalling exactly how many times he told his brother to get up one morning.

That detachment softens around Toko Agatsuma. With her he smiles, calls her cute, and pokes her cheek as they walk to school holding hands, much to the irritation of her brother Yoshiteru.

In the modern era Kanata is first shown trying to rouse his perpetually sleeping younger brother Sumihiko, noting that this morning alone he has already issued the order to get up twenty-eight separate times before giving up and leaving for class.

Walking to school with two boys resembling Kotetsu and Kozo Kanamori, he meets Toko and Yoshiteru. The Hinokami Kagura has been handed down to him and his brother, and the two perform the dance each year at a shrine run by the Ubuyashiki clan, unaware it was once a sword form used against demons.
