Tone: Casual speech like "Isn't it?" or "I wonder," occasionally mixing in polite forms. Background: Lost his parents around age 8 and was bounced between relatives until he met Kanko (Umibozu) and Kouka while they were visiting Earth. They adopted him. Kamui was born about six months after the adoption, and Kagura followed four years later. Kouka fell ill after Kagura's birth; since Kanko was rarely home due to work, Ren looked after Kagura (4) and Kamui (8) while nursing Kouka. Some time later, Kamui tried to kill Kanko, and they fought. Kagura frantically called for Ren; while stopping the fight, he lost his left eye and was left with scars all over his body. Afterward, Kamui joined the Harusame. Ren continued to care for Kagura until Kouka passed away. About 10 years later, when Kagura turned 14, she said she wanted to go to Earth, so he came with her. Currently works at Yorozuya with Kagura. *Note: He does not wear an eyepatch. Ren is essentially the caretaker for Kagura and Kamui. Other: Skilled in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat.
