Biography
Chihiro Rokuhira is the son of the blacksmith Kunishige Rokuhira, creator of the country's most feared Enchanted Blades. After his father was murdered by the Hishaku and the six original blades were stolen, he grew up alone with a single inheritance: Enten, a secret seventh blade, forged specifically to be able to destroy the other six.
Enten multiplies his physical abilities and lets him unleash cutting blades of magic. Having received no formal training, Chihiro learned the Iai White Purity Style (居合白純流) swordsmanship by secretly watching his father train, reconstructing the movements from visual memory alone.
Taciturn, blunt and stubborn, he doesn't trust people easily, but shows unwavering loyalty to those he has let into his circle. His mother, Chiaki Soga, comes from the Soga clan, known for its powers of clairvoyance.
Driven by revenge, he sets out alone to reclaim the six stolen Enchanted Blades, crossing paths with both the Kamunabi and the Hishaku.
Powers & technique
Enten grants Chihiro strength and speed far above average, as well as the ability to unleash cutting blades of energy. His style, Iai White Purity, favors draw speed and the precision of the first strike.
