Kageki
CharacterKageki, the twin of Katazu, is the man whose accidental blow ends Shikazo's life. When a dispute over an unpaid loan turns fatal, he flees into hiding while his brother assumes his identity to draw off those hunting him.
Appearance
Kageki wears his black hair long and unkempt, tied into a ponytail at the back, and looks out through dark eyes.
Personality
The little the story offers casts him as an ordinary family man rather than a fighter. He lends money in good faith, presses to be repaid only when a new child leaves him short, and once tragedy strikes he chooses to vanish and shield his family from the fallout.
History
Kageki has once lent money to Shikazo, and when the arrival of his child leaves him short, he goes to collect. Shikazo refuses, a brief scuffle breaks out, and Shikazo falls and cracks his skull against a pickling stone with fatal force. Branded responsible for the death, Kageki takes his family into hiding, while his twin Katazu steps into his identity and deliberately draws the pursuers onto himself.
