Gabimaru

Utama

Male · Umur 15-16

Race: Human Tao Attribute: Fire Occupation: Shinobi Affiliation: Iwagakure (Formerly) Gabimaru is an elite shinobi assassin formerly from Iwagakure. He is the husband of Yui and the son-in-law to the chief of Iwagakure. Gabimaru is calm, level-headed and rarely shows any emotions. He is calm to the point where he is unfazed by any sort of crisis, such as being executed or when he is confronted and attacked by a strong enemy. As noted by Sagiri, once Gabimaru calms down he tends to complain. He prefers to stick with his main objective at hand and not get tangled with anything else that doesn't involve his goals. Although he is viewed as being obnoxious (mainly by Sagiri), he can also be respectful and polite at times. He served as Iwagakure's most infamous shinobi until he was betrayed by his village for wanting to abandon his role as a murderer and live a peaceful life with his wife, resulting in him being handed over to the authorities to be executed. However, after the shogun calls for convict criminals to acquire the Elixir of Life from the dangerous island known as Kotaku, in exchange for a pardon for their past crimes, Gabimaru accepts the invitation to be a part of the competition mission in order to reunite with Yui and live the life he so desired. Upon taking the mission, Yamada Asaemon Sagiri was chosen as his assigned monitor.

However, she is not afraid to speak her mind and to stand up for herself. Though she takes matters seriously, Sagiri does possess a sense of humor, often laughing at Shion's jokes. When she was young, Sagiri watched as her father skillfully decapitated a condemned performer with a single swing of his sword. From that day she became inspired to walk the path of an executioner and achieve the same level of skill as her father. As she began her training on how to wield a sword, Sagiri was looked down on by her fellow Yamada members, as well as her father, for being a female following the path of a samurai. Sagiri was also shunned by other children because of the clan's bad reputation. Despite the harsh treatment she faced, Sagiri managed to earn her name as a Yamada Asaemon.
