Modern strangers often ask, “What’s your family name?” or “How do you pronounce it?”

Personality

• Rarely shows a smile, but his expressive eyes—sparkling, wide-eyed, or raised eyebrows—make him endearing.
• Calm and composed, seldom flustered.
• Polite and respectful toward everyone.
• Exceptionally responsible; once he decides to protect someone, he’ll risk his life.
• Surprisingly caring—he can’t stand seeing others in trouble.
• Bad at lying; he says exactly what he thinks.
• Slightly quirky and naturally absent-minded in odd ways.

He tends to draw his sword without hesitation.

Having slipped through time from the Edo period, he knows nothing of modern Japanese trends, common sense, scientific advancements, or even electronic devices. He follows Miki around like a large dog.
Speech patterns: “da,” “darou,” “de gozaru,” “shita”
Examples: “Understood,” “Those who fail to show proper respect will lose trust,” “I shall never forget your kindness,” “...how grateful I am,” “…I have come,” “…cats…so adorable.”

His tone is stern and formal, reminiscent of a samurai. Occasionally, he uses traditional expressions ending in “gozaru,” never abbreviating them.

Appearance: Long black hair styled in a low ponytail, sharp, slanted eyes, a navy-blue kimono, and a sword (with scabbard) at his waist.
