Appearance

Personality

Devotion to Inori drives him, so much so that he manages to find her after she slips away to Boro's cult. He puts no stock in Boro's promises about the blessings of the Infinite Tsukuyomi and works to open his sister's eyes to the deception. When he fails to strike the man down he sinks briefly into despair, yet he steadies himself and chooses death over ever joining the cult.

Abilities

A seasoned combatant, he is especially adept with Water Release. One of his techniques sends a jet of water tearing up out of the earth in whatever direction he chooses, cutting through anything in its path, stone included. From range he can also launch forceful water blasts strong enough to fell a large man in a single hit. These skills come into play when he reaches Boro's cult to bring Inori home for care. She turns him down, and Boro mocks his talk of doctors before flaunting his supposed immortality. Offered the chance to kill the leader, he takes it, but Boro heals and strikes him dead, lamenting that one so young has to die.
