Uzume

A 19-year-old warrior who is one of Kuroha's allies. He often says difficult words incorrectly, making him mostly comic relief. His weapon is a three-section staff with a small sickle attached, and has such  power to th e weapon that it does not matter if he is close or far in range to his opponent.

Background
Ever since the time Uzume was born, he was not treated like a human and was ostracized. Possibly due him receiving irrational violence and abuse, he came to think that it would be best to break anything he hated as he lived his life.

Personality & Character Traits
He is a peppy, simple man, and is quite stupid. He is most often seen smiling with a wide open mouth. He once told Utsuho, "My head's empty, but I get pissed." What he lacks in brains, he makes up with fighting power, which is top-class. It might be because he is quite honest, but his mouth more than often slips, letting out vital information.

Although he can be deathly violent, he is quite friendly, and there are times when he gets lonely like a child. He also holds feelings that Kuroha and Chouza, who he likes, are precious to him. There was a time when he was being chased by Iriya and Utsuho proposed that they fight together, but thinking about Kuroha, he turned him down. He likes Utsuho and has a crush on Neya (apparently, she's exactly his type), and thinks of them both as his friends.

Plot Summary
As an enemy, Utsuho called him "Bird brain", but once they became allies, Utsuho began calling him by his name. At the Black Fortress, when he talked to Utsuho, he decided that he wanted to live a life without killing people. However, this decision led to a wall being made between himself and Kuroha, who he held dearly. In the battle against Iriya at Bride Village, he saves his allies, but knowing that he was not trusted by Kuroha, he left Kuroha's group along with Chouza and Minamo to act with just the three of them. In the capital, Kuroha says some parting words, but Uzume wasn't satisfied, confirms Kuroha's real intentions, and travels with Kuroha once again.


 * Deeply hurt at the death of Kuroha and Saiha, he fights Iriya and wins, getting revenge for the two. After he learned the importance of people's lives, he swears in his heart to never kill another person ever again, and in order to make a world where no one suffers, he decides to join Utsuho's group along with Chouza and Minamo.

Trivia

 * In terms of brain power, Uzume is 9th out of 10. Neya is ranked above him, and Pochi is one below him, as he and the tanuki are known for their stupidity.
