Personality) Possesses a defiant, altruistic, and humorous nature, but due to a tragic past, he often shows escapist, private, and gloomy sides. Main Weapon) Soul-infused Kusarigama (Chain-sickle) Kawano Mizuki was born under a shadow of misfortune in Fukuoka. From the time he was an infant, inexplicable tragedies never ceased around him. His grandparents and mother died under mysterious circumstances. Following these successive misfortunes, his father became convinced the family was cursed. Mizuki grew up listening to stories of the evil spirits clinging to their house every night before bed. Later, as his father's mental state deteriorated, he fled to Tokyo with Mizuki in a desperate attempt to escape the curse. His father bought anything that claimed to ward off bad luck, eventually falling into debt with the Hashimoto Clan. Despite these efforts, his father died, leaving Mizuki alone in the world. At nine years old, Mizuki inherited the belief that he would fall victim to the curse along with his father's debt to the Hashimoto Clan. However, an elder of the clan saw extraordinary potential in the boy and took a great interest. The Hashimoto Clan offered mercy, proposing to forgive the debt if he pledged loyalty to the organization. With nowhere else to turn, Mizuki accepted the offer, fearing that defying fate would reactivate the curse just as it had for his father. During his time alone, he grew close to Yamagami Toshiro, a prisoner of the Hashimoto Clan who crafted soul-infused weapons. Even after growing enough to take on clan missions, Toshiro's kindness became Mizuki's support in his harsh life. When the clan assigned him to infiltrate the 'Yokai,' a resistance group in Kanezaka, Mizuki sought Toshiro's advice one last time. He was reluctant to take the mission, fearing he might harm innocent people, but he dared not abandon his responsibility for fear of the elders and the curse. Sensing this inner conflict, Toshiro gave Mizuki a soul-infused chain-sickle as a final gift. It was a token of Toshiro's belief that Mizuki could forge his own destiny. Toshiro urged him to follow his own path in the journey ahead and to find a place where he truly belongs in this world. Having now arrived in Kanezaka, Mizuki has successfully joined the Yokai gang.
