Weathered but not withered, is a simple phrase that describes his outward appearance. He has multiple scars across his body, he has 3 large and defined scars on his face on his left eye at a slight slant another attaching to that one going across his nose and one the left side of his forehead etching itself half way across his forehead, the three combine to make a slight F on his forehead. Underneath his clothes he has a large X shaped scar across his chest.

He is fairly muscular and well built standing at 5'7''. He usually wears a black and white kimono, and even though it doesn't appear that he has a lot of hidden weapons inside it he does.

⌈Personality⌋

Katotekushi is usually at ease with a smile on his face. He see's the world around him pleasantly taking things in just to enjoy the moments he has on this earth. Even in the midst of combat a smile can be seen on his face only for a moment after a fight does his smile leave his face for a moment but only for a short time.

He can be blunt and pretty straight forward simply because he doesn't want to waste what little time he has. He likes to finish things quickly and efficiently not getting caught up in long drawn out events. Katotekushi is extremely self confident this makes him believe in his own strength but he doesn't respect others as much as he should. This leads to his favorite strategy for missions, just looking like any samurai or ronin walking up to his target killing it and then escaping either by fighting his way out or just slipping into the shadows. He tries to keep things as simple as possible believing the more things you try to do the more likely it is to mess up.

Katotekushi does not like to stay in one place for a long time and if he is forced to sit in a location he will often be moving his fingers rapidly so that he can keep moving. During a conversation he will often pace or move his arms to in a way that puts emphasis on what he is saying.

⌈Relationships⌋
His family is all dead killed by a samurai lord while he was 18. He has a strained relationship with Yosuke Haru.

⌈Equipment⌋
Kunai- Mid ranged weapon primarly used to help him climb buildings as either foot holds or hand grips
Odachi More of a disguise then a real weapon able to use it proficiently but dislikes how heavy and bulky it feels
Katana his secondary weapon used in a two weapon fighting style with either his tanto or the katana's scabard
Tanto - used together with the Katana to use his preferred style of two sword fighting.
Kurasigama - Chain scythe his favourite weapon only uses it in emergencies or against people who have earned his respect.
Chainmail- Hidden armour underneath his kimono usually wears it even while not on the job to help be able to act natural with it on.

⌈Strengths⌋
If you were to ask him he would tell you that in a one on one fight he wouldn't lose to anyone, it isn't true though many opponents are stornger or faster, or even craftier but few have as much experience combining the three in real fights. While strong in a fight his real skills are in the area of stealth, being able to slip past peoples attention by noticing there blind spots and abusing them. He uses there common sense against them preying upon what they expect to be true. Also he abuses Bushido and tries to get any advantage he can from opponents who adhere to it.

⌈Weaknesses⌋
Well he is half blind in his left eye only being able to see shapes and colours but no real detail. Other then that he hates water any deeper then his waste anymore then that and he can't handle it never learning to swim. He can occasionally get arrogant and overconfident in fights but if he see's his wn blood then that is over.

⌈Home⌋
Currently residing with Yosuke Haru, Katotekushi lives his life on a short leash following Yosuke's orders.

⌈History⌋

Katotekushi, was a farmer until he was 17 while working the fields his younger sister's ball bounced in front of a young samurai lord.This surprised his horse, causing it to rear and dislodging him from the saddle. Upon being helped up from the mud in the road the young lord ordered for Katotekushi's sister to be cut in half and the family to be killed as an example. Upon returning to his village Katotekushi found out what had happened to his family.

Swearing revenge on the lord he trained turning the tools he used for farming into his weapons. His scythe used to harvest his crops, its purpose forever changed to one of spilling blood. After he trained for years he tracked down the lord who had killed his family and killed everyone in around him except for the lord. Three days later he did the same thing and he continued the same pattern until the lord's mind snapped. Satisfied in his revenge he joined the Kobayashi household as a ninja.

Through a mission he found out about a raid on the Kobayashi. Betraying the Kobayashi he joined with Yosuke Haru. Helping in the raid upon the Kobayashi by informing them of weak points and opening the gates for them. After the raid finished Yosuke tested Katotekushi by making him fight all of the prisoners in one on one combat to prove both his skills and his loyalty to Yosuke.
