His younger brother is two years younger than him and in bushi training. He studied in the arts of being a bushi for most of his life and while never truly standing out he was a skill and honorable student. He was honored to be chosen as his master’s champion in the Topaz Championship. He remains unaware that his master’s first choice in student to represent him was another student.
