Posture: A very proper individual, standing with the posture of a lord.
Scars/ Tattoo’s/ Other markings: None.
Accessories: In his usual attire, naught but a watch and a tie. In his battle outfit, he has a red bandanna around his right wrist, two leather bracelets, one black and one white, around his left wrist, and multiple chain necklaces.
Clothes: When in civilian clothes, Kakusa tends to wear rather fashionable, high-end outfits, usually comprised of either a silver or black shirt, a thin black jacket, and dark black jeans, with more formal footwear and his long white tie worn loosely around his collar. In his battle outfit (Pictured at top), Kakusa wears a long silver haori over a black tank-top, and tough cotton work pants, with black boots that go up to about mid-calf.
Anything Else? Kakusa has excellent night-vision, and is able to see very clearly even in pitch-black darkness, likely due to the nature of his Mojikara. Kakusa is also fond of playing guitar, and can usually be found playing it alone, or playing the Shamisen his father, the previous lord of the Shijima clan, left to him before he passed.

Inner Stuff
Likes:

• String instruments
  
• Being in the dark, especially alone
  
• Loyal friends and allies.
  
• Hime
  

Dislikes:

• Large crowds
  
• Gedoushu (Duh)
  
• Hime's condescending attitude.
  
• Hime
  

Strengths:

• Good at working in unfavorable conditions (At night, bad terrain, stuff like that)
  
• Expert tactician
  
• Decent cook
  

Weaknesses:

• Can't clean very well at all
  
• Mojikara weakened by focused light
  
• Can't resist the temptation of curry
  

Goal(s):

• To wipe out the Gedoushu, and reestablish the Shijima clan.
  

Habits/ Quirks:

• Gin tends to zone out completely when playing the shamisen, flooded with memories of his father.
  

Relationships:

• Rai: To Kakusa, Rai is a loyal vassal and friend, acting as Kakusa's right hand, the muscle to Kakusa's wit.
  
• Hime: For the most part, Hime and Kakusa are on good terms, both somewhat relieved that the arranged marriage was cancelled. Kakusa honestly had no objection to the marriage, but felt that it was pushed on them too early, and that their families were forcing it, instead of merely arranging it as they should.
  
• Shinkengers: Overall, Kakusa sees the Shinkengers as allies, but refuses to see the Shiba clan as his "Lords", instead merely aiding them of their own will, because of their like goal.
  

Overview: A calm, collected individual, not one to let his emotions get the better of him. Of course, this doesn't mean Kakusa is without emotions, no. Rather, it's the opposite, his emotions are very strong, but he keeps a lid on them because of the reactive nature of Kage Mojikara. A man bound by duty, he sees it as his sole destiny to exterminate the Gedoushu, and to avenge the family and friends he'd lost. As the heir of the Shijima clan, he'd been trained since he was young in the way of the sword, and the way of the shadows, causing him to be constantly aware of his surroundings, and to act split-second on instinct, sometimes at the wrong time (Such as whapping Rai on the head with a duster for entering without announcing himself.)


Hero Stuff
Name: The sacred shadow abyss, ShinkenSilver~!
Type Of Hero: Shinkenger (Sentai)
Henshin Device: Tanto-Phone: A strange device, a thin flip-phone with a black body, which, when opened and switched to "Slash Mode" produces a tanto blade from the speaker end. However, the tanto isn't a weapon, but rather a tool to use the ancient Shijima clan technique, used by the Shinkengers of Yaso (The Ronin), Zan Mojikara (Slash Letters). Like normal Mojikara, the Zan Mojikara is used to draw upon the power of Kanji, but unlike normal Mojikara, Zan Mojikara is slashed into the air with a blade, rather than using a brush.
Henshin Sequence: Kakusa draws his Tanto-Phone, changing it into Slash Mode, and slashes the Kage (Shadow) Kanji into the air before him, then slashes it vertically down the middle, causing it to split and wrap around him, creating a silver bodysuit, with a black haori nearly exactly the same as Gedou-ShinkenRed, whilst his helmet forms, a stylized yet simplified version of the Kage Kanji forming the visor.
Forms:

• Form Name: Kagetai|Shadow Body (Default)
  Image/ Description: Similar to the Shiba Clan's Shinkengers, although with a silver coloration, and a black haori exactly like that of Gedou-ShinkenRed, with a crescent-moon-shaped piece holding it closed in the front, at chest-level. The visor is a stylized version of the Kage kanji, the main part being simplified so that he can see, and the radical on the right being duplicated onto the left, making the visor nearly symmetrical. On his left his are his weapon, DaiShinkenMaru and ShoShinkenMaru, worn as the Daisho so symbolic of ancient samurai.
  Motif: Kage Kanji, silver, crescent moon, shadows
  Color Scheme: Silver/Black
  Transformation: See above
  Weapons:
  DaiShinkenmaru and ShoShinkenMaru: A pair of swords, almost exactly like the Shiba Clan's Shinkenmaru, with one key difference. These two are slightly altered in length, DaiShinkenMaru being slightly longer, and ShoShinkenMaru being slightly shorter. When the Kage Ookami Disc is placed as a tsuba on the DaiShinkenMaru, the swords transform into their form as the Silver Fang.
  
  Silver Fang: A daisho, just as DaiShinkenMaru and ShoShinkenMaru, but revealed in their true form. The blunt side of the larger sword is jagged, and resembles the top of a wolf's tail, and the edge of the smaller sword is much the same, only sharper, as to be able to cut the foe. But the true power of the Silver Fang is when the two swords are combined, the blunt of the shorter sword to the edge of the larger, the combined sword extends, creating gaps in the blade and a dual-edged sword, the Silver Fang Nodachi Mode. In this form, the sword constantly exudes Shadow Mojikara, causing every slash to leave a slice in the air, allowing for use of the slices to creating shadow projectiles, or to combine them for Zan Mojikara techniques.
  
  Abilities: Shadow control, expert swordsmanship, able to summon an Origami
  Finisher(s): Shijima-ken Zanjutsu; Mu Ken Ogiri (Shijima sword slashing-technique; Nothingness Sword Greatslash): Kakusa holds the Silver Fang, in Nodachi Mode, at his side, and breathes lightly into his hand (Ignoring the fact that he has a helmet on), whilst lowly saying the name of the attack. As he finishes the last syllable, he begins swinging the sword, now completely coated in shadow Mojikara, creating a huge version of the Kage kanji, overflowing with energy, and fires it at the foe, ripping apart most kaijin.
  

Other Equipment:

• His shamisen, a Shijima clan heirloom.
  

Yaso. A place of legend, rarely known, and even then spoken of as myth. A fabled town of samurai, protectors of mankind. However, it wasn't always a legend. Once, long ago, it was a famous yet infamous town, a town of mighty warriors and skilled craftsmen. Indeed, Yaso was once known as the town of the elite, and the two ruling families of Shijima and Nojo, as well as the vassal families of Inazuma, Jūrzoku, Shinsei, and Kojin, were known as legendary warriors, on par even with the great Shiba samurai clan. In fact, for a great many years, the Shiba clan and the Yaso clans were close allies, working hand-in-hand to defeat the Gedoushu time and again. However, this alliance wouldn't last forever. As time went on, the Shijima clan began to grow frustrated that, despite having an equal hand in handling the Gedoushu, Yaso was being overlooked, and the Shiba family was getting the entire glory. Because of this, Yaso cut ties with the Shiba, claiming that they would be the ones to defeat the Gedoushu for good.

Unfortunately, the Gedoushu were one step ahead. Once the two groups had cut ties, it was none too easy to wipe out the pesky Yaso fools, as the Gedoushu staged a huge raid, annihilating the entire village, no more than a few years after their assault on the Shiba. Unfortunately for the Gedoushu, the six heirs of the families were out of the village training with their teachers, and as they returned to the village and saw what had occurred, each decided on a path to avenge their people and return Yaso to glory. Kakusa decided on the Path of the Lord, holding strong to his honor and tradition, and aiming to wipe out the Gedoushu for good, so no one would ever have to lose someone to the Gedoushu again.

Sample RP:

A quiet evening, just after closing at the ramen shop. Kakusa was picking up the ingredients, whilst Hikami cleaned the tables, and Rai did the dishes. Rai sighed, complaining. "Why do I always get stuck with the dishes?" Of course, without missing a beat, Hikami replied "Because you're too slow to clean tables, and too clumsy to handle the food." And, like clockwork, Rai replied himself. "Nuh-uh! Gin just gets food duty cuz his sword training included daggers, so he's good with knives." Kakusa, getting a bit annoyed, calmly silenced them both in one go. "How about rather than bicker about it, you be silent and get the work done, so it'll take less time, and then there'll be no reason to complain. Sound easy enough?" In that instant, Rai just silenced, mouth agape, as Hikami let out a little snicker and continued her work.
