# Kazuya

> I was worried he would be a bad influence on Masaru, but it seems like Masaru’s been a good influence on him. *-- Ayako (Masaru’s adoptive mother)* A would-be loner if not for a very persistent and friendly tiger.

### Backstory --- Considered a runt by most demons where he’s from and deemed not worth the time nor effort, Kazuya grew up with no real support from other demons. And with humans at large still fearing demons, regarding them with suspicion at best and pure hatred at worst, he was not welcome amongst general society either. His life was a constant struggle just to exist, and there were times where he wished he just didn't. But he kept going, kept living, out of spite and a drive to prove himself as something other than worthless. **About [Masaru](https://wiki.summerleaguesoct.com/books/2024-comic-camellia-league/page/masaru-fukuzawa)** While out training Kazuya was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a young tiger demon. The child quickly introduced himself as Masaru and from that point on refused to give Kazuya a moment of peace. Each day Kazuya would find a quiet place to train, be found by Masaru, then be unable to get rid of him until the sun started to set. Fed up with this routine Kazuya proposed a deal in the hopes of finally getting rid of the little tiger demon. "Okay, tell you what. If you can break that boulder with your head, we can be friends." Kazuya told him, expecting Masaru to either refuse or at least give him some entertainment by knocking himself out. The last thing he expected was for the tiger boy to completely shatter the rock with one swift headbutt. ### Personality --- Relatively reserved and not particularly social Kazuya tends to keep his distance from people and is typically distrustful of others. Though despite how disinterested and sarcastic he may seem he cares deeply for his "little" brother, Masaru, and often gets dragged into helping people by him. When he does have to interact with others he'll keep conversations short and to the point, skipping over any typical pleasantries or small talk and will seemingly become genuinely confused should anyone try to continue a more casual conversation with him. If you do manage to force him into a casual conversation or small talk you'll find he's actually quite awkward underneath his aloof exterior. He sincerely doesn't really know how to talk to people on a personal level (aside from Masaru, though that's due more in part to Masaru being easy to talk to than Kazuya having conversational skills). Asking him about himself will most likely only get you a confused "Why?" in response. You're better off just asking Masaru about him. As a result of his background he shows little respect for those who have yet to prove their worth in some way. Though this doesn't necessarily have to do with physical strength or ability and he will acknowledge a person's skill in a variety of areas as long as it can be considered useful. A person's rank or social status doesn't matter to him if they've done nothing to earn it and he won't even bother to learn or remember their names. It’s not hatred though, more indifference. Kazuya does, however, hate people who are all talk and no action, bragging without anything to back it up. Be careful if you boast about your combat skills too loudly, he will want to test them. Overall he tends to come off as rude, intentionally or unintentionally. Unsurprisingly this mostly stems from the environment he grew up in, but believe it or not he isn't always trying to be mean. Kindness is typically seen as weakness amongst demons, and humans are rarely kind to things they fear. Now even when he is trying to be nice he can't help but make excuses for why what he's doing isn't genuine kindness, coming up with anything to explain away any act that could even remotely be seen as selfless. His main excuse is Masaru, whether it being "Masaru dragged me into it" or "I'm only doing this for Masaru" but other excuses can crop up. Kazuya takes great pride in his martial prowess and mainly agreed to join the tournament to test himself against other skilled fighters. He's dedicated his life to perfecting his combat techniques and while he does have a bit of an ego in terms of his combat abilities he's not so delusional as to think he can't learn techniques from other fighters. In fact, the other reason why he joined the tournament was because he's interested in what he might be able to learn from watching and competing against others. Though he's unlikely to specifically ask for tips and advice you might catch him practicing a move he saw another competitor use in his down time.

### Abilities --- ##### Weapon Storage His earrings are where he keeps his weapons when not in use. They’re shrunk down and functionally jewelry in this form, then when plucked from the earring they revert back to their full size and weight. He must have physical contact with the weapon before he can shrink it and return it to his earring and cannot just summon it back if it were knocked out of his hand. ##### Regenerative Healing (reduced) Under normal circumstances Kazuya is able to heal near instantly and even fully regrow limbs, however within Crossroads this ability is severely reduced. While in Crossroads he can still heal quicker than a human but it's not enough to mitigate damage while in combat. At most it amounts to being able to recover faster, such as taking only a few weeks to fully heal instead of a few months. ### Strengths --- **Fast and Agile:** While still strong, Kazuya's main edge in combat is his speed and agility. **Well versed in martial arts:** Being primarily self taught Kazuya has no specific combat style he uses, opting for a mix of styles and techniques to adapt to whatever the situation may call for. **Quick learner (combat specific):** Kazuya is actively searching for what he can learn from other skilled martial artists that he can add to his own repertoire. **Very high pain tolerance:** Due to the extent he's typically capable of healing Kazuya can take some serious hits and hardly flinch. ### Weaknesses --- **Pride as a martial artist:** He wants skilled and challenging opponents and will abide by strict rules provided his opponent does as well (ex. a match where none of them use weapons, a match where you can only strike with your legs, etc.). He will only fight dirty if his opponent fights dirty first. **No longer able to regenerate:** Cut off from the magic native to his home that his body absorbs to quickly heal injuries he is no longer able to regenerate and can’t afford to get reckless. While he’s used to being able to shake off injuries he doesn’t make a habit of just taking hits, but once he learns he can’t heal like before he’ll come to the realization that dying is a very real possibility here. **No understanding of modern tech or guns:** The world he's from isn't particularly technologically advanced, as such he is unfamiliar with things like phones, TV, guns, etc. and won't know what they do until demonstrated. He'll probably just assume they're some kind of magic. **Masaru:** Kazuya loves him like a little brother and looks out for him. While Masaru is usually more than capable of taking care of himself, if things look like they’re getting out of hand then Kazuya will do whatever it takes to protect him. Masaru usually acts as Kazuya’s moral compass, and will often persuade him into helping people he otherwise wouldn’t bother with without some form of compensation. ### Gallery ---

### Author's Notes --- Feel free to choose either Kazuya or Masaru as the main fighter for your round. They will be alternating depending on their opponent(s) so choose whoever you feel would be most interesting. He doesn't smile often, usually just has resting bitch face. Kazuya is jealous to a degree of how strong Masaru is, though he tends not to show it. Since where they’re from there’s only humans and demons Kazuya will assume any non-human is also a demon until told otherwise. His blood is black (this also means his blush is dark grey). # Masaru Fukuzawa

Table of Contents

### Backstory --- Found alone in the forest on the mountainside and raised by human parents who were unable to have a child of their own, Masaru was seen as a blessing to them rather than a monster. He grew up in a home that loved him dearly and valued kindness towards others. Upon discovering just how strong their adopted son was, Masaru's parents made sure to teach him to use his strength to help not harm. **About [Kazuya](https://wiki.summerleaguesoct.com/books/2024-comic-camellia-league/page/kazuya)** It was the first time Masaru had met another demon and despite Kazuya trying to get the tiger child to leave him alone, Masaru was determined to become friends. He would track down Kazuya, pester him for hours, then say "See you tomorrow!" and head home, before repeating the next day. After days of relentless friendly chatter Kazuya eventually caved and offered a deal. "Okay, tell you what. If you can break that boulder with your head, we can be friends." Kazuya told him. With almost no hesitation Masaru turned towards the boulder, leaned back, and slammed his head down onto it with such force the rock shattered. "I did it!" Masaru grinned back at a dumbstruck Kazuya. "That means we’re friends now!" ### Personality --- His friendliness and optimism can often come across as naivety, and while he's not what most would consider smart he does have a level of emotional intelligence that can sometimes catch people off guard. Masaru finds it easy to relate to people and understand their side of things, a seemingly endless well of empathy. He has a strong sense of justice and wants to do what's right no matter what. This could mean protecting others, patching a roof, finding a lost pet, even giving the shirt off his back for someone who needs it more. Masaru's kindness can sometimes set them back in their goals, but as long as they helped someone in need Masaru feels it's worth it. He's not very good at hiding his emotions, making him very easy to read, though it's not like he tries to hide what he's feeling. He'll be honest and upfront with most people and frankly telling lies, even small ones, seems to be very difficult for him. His best option for concealing information is to just not say anything, though him keeping his mouth shut tends to only serve as an indicator that he is trying to hide something. Though his demeanor might make some think he's soft, it is incredibly difficult to intimidate Masaru. He's well aware of his own strength and capabilities and would not back down if threatened with violence, though he'd still prefer a peaceful solution if possible. Hinting at threats or making vague derogatory comments towards him seem to bounce right off as well, whether this is because they don't bother him or he doesn't understand them is anyone's guess. Masaru does not anger easily, he's been frustrated and upset before, but even those feelings seem few and far between. Even Kazuya's not sure he's ever seen his brother truly enraged, and honestly it's not something he would want to see either.

### Abilities --- ##### Weapon Storage His earring is where he keeps his tetsubo when not in use. It’s shrunk down and functionally jewelry in this form, then when plucked from the earring it reverts back to its full size and weight. He must have physical contact with his tetsubo before he can shrink it and return it to his earring and cannot just summon it back if it were knocked out of his hand. ### Strengths --- **Absurd Strength:** Masaru's strength is noteworthy even amongst demons. The tetsubo he wields is extremely heavy, Kazuya struggles to wield it with two hands while Masaru can easily swing it around with one. **Incredible Durability:** Able to take hits as hard as he can dish them out. Blunt force isn't likely to hinder him much. **Unbridled Optimism:** There's no situation that can't have a positive outcome and nothing it hopeless. Regardless of how dire a situation may get he'll try his best. ### Weaknesses --- **Not the brightest:** Because Masaru's always ready to help someone in need, he's easy to manipulate with a sob story and the thought that someone could be lying to him about that rarely crosses his mind. Often will go for the most straightforward solution to a problem without really thinking through all his options. **No real ranged attacks:** He's limited to close range combat and while he could throw his tetsubo that’s something he’d only try if desperate. **Doesn’t actually want to hurt anyone:** He’s here to have a good time and will not use his full strength unless he’s sure his opponent could handle it. Masaru wants to fight strong opponents and will purposefully hold back or agree to specific terms that will hinder his chances of winning if he feels a match may be unfair (you could easily lie to him to make him think that too). He would rather lose a fight or forfeit than seriously maim or kill his opponent, the exception being if his opponent is an active threat to others and even then it would be a last resort if he can’t subdue them. **Bladed weapons:** While still resilient he's not resistant to blades like he is with blunt force and can be cut comparatively easily. If he can't dodge he will attempt to block bladed weapons with his metal arm bracers. **No understanding of modern tech or guns:** The world he's from isn't particularly technologically advanced, as such he is unfamiliar with things like phones, TV, guns, etc. and won't know what they do until demonstrated. He'll probably just assume they're some kind of magic. **Kazuya:** Masaru loves him like an older brother and looks up to him. While Kazuya is more than capable of taking care of himself if something goes wrong Masaru will drop whatever he’s doing to help him. ### Gallery ---

### Author's Notes --- Feel free to choose either Masaru or Kazuya as the main fighter for your round. They will be alternating depending on their opponent(s) so choose whoever you feel would be most interesting. Masaru learned nearly everything he knows about martial arts from Kazuya. Since where they’re from there’s only humans and demons Masaru will assume any non-human is also a demon until told otherwise. While I have a wish in mind, neither Masaru nor Kazuya really start the tournament knowing what to wish for, as a result it'd be possible to convince Masaru to forfeit or throw a fight for someone he thinks really needs it. Kazuya would still take issue with this, however.
