Appearance[edit | edit source]

She is very beautiful and dresses in a small pink kimono and underneath wears bandages over her chest and a fundoshi (which Miu often scolds her for). When fighting seriously she dons a chain mail.

Personality[edit | edit source]

Shigure is a very mysterious and strange person. She speaks very little in a neutral tone and has a habit of falling asleep on the rafters of the ceiling and also traverses atop them more than she uses the actual floor. She has little knowledge of most things outside of weapons and has trouble interacting with normal people due to her blunt personality and the fact that she always carries a weapon on her. Before Kenichi came to the dojo she rarely interacted with any of its other residents except Akisame and Apachai, and would even refrain from doing practical things such as having dinner with them. Shigure is apparently quite fond of Kenichi. His presence in the dojo has had a profound effect on her, with him around she smiles more often (though she still rarely does so), and she interacts with others more and has even begun to eat dinner with them. She also didn't mind Akisame telling Kenichi about her past, even saying that it was okay simply because he's Kenichi.

Background[edit | edit source]

When she was a young child she lived with her father in the mountains. Her father, who never named her, was a weapon maker and master of incredible skill and made swords for Yami that were created specifically to kill. Akisame was summoned by an old friend (an old man who was presumably the leader of the Kosaka clan) to find the maker of a sword who turned out to be Shigure's father. After they met the man requested that Akisame kill him. When Akisame refused the man forced him into a fight which Akisame managed to win. The man stated that he wanted to be a bad example to his daughter, because he had created things that had taken lives he wanted his daughter to see what kind of future a person like him would have and he promptly took his own life.[1] After defeating some Yami members, Akisame named her and took her to live with his friend who taught her the Kosaka fighting style, where she remained until the old man died after which Akisame took her to Ryozankapu.

Plot[edit | edit source]

Skills and Techniques[edit | edit source]

Even as a young child Shigure had incredible potential which was noticed immediately by Akisame[2] as she was incredibly fast and is so fast that she was able to fight and defeat Sai Kagerou a sword master who can strike so quickly that he himself doesn't even realize that he had moved. Despite her lithe frame she is very strong and can cut weapons made of metal to pieces using something with a dull edge such as a spoon.[3] She also once cut a cannon off of a tank and then jammed it through its side.[4]
