Kamisato Ayato/Lore

==Personality==
Ayato is a person that does not like to show his face in public often, preferring to work on his duties as the Yashiro Commissioner. A well-known fact about him is that he's extremely busy and stressed, as he has to deal with corrupt government officials while juggling his duty as the leader of the Shuumatsuban. Due to his duties, he loathes small talk, wanting people to get to the point. He uses a large array of methods to deal with corrupt officials, usually within legal bounds.
While he is not particularly well known due to his preference to remain behind the scenes, those who are familiar with him note that he is incredibly kind and has inspired loyalty from many people. For example, Hirotatsu states that he continues to serve the Yashiro Commission to repay the generosity that he showed him and his master and it is strongly implied that Ayato was the one who inspired Thoma to the point the latter received a Vision. Ayato has stated that he highly values loyalty and obedience (hence his preference for dogs), as strongly implied that there were numerous assassinations against him in the past, hence why he values those two traits so much to protect himself from rival clans and organizations.YouTube: Character Demo - "Kamisato Ayato: Fathomless Swirls in the Forest"
Despite his succession as the family head at a young age, he appears to be a mature and determined man, notably even more than Ayaka, who's known for her steadfastness. Like Ayaka, Ayato cares for the well-being of the common people. He is also a family man, as he had taken the position of Commissioner per his parents' wishes to also protect Ayaka, stating that he would not forgive any who would harm his family and wanting to ensure that Ayaka had others to rely on when she needed it. He also risked his life to smuggle the Watatsumi Army into Tenshukaku for the sake of doing a "small favor" for her.
Ayato is also known to be cunning and mischievous, as both the Shogun and Yae Miko note him as unpredictable and tricky to understand, with the latter strongly disliking him as a result. Nonetheless, he is tolerated by both for upholding the Shogun's will for the former and their duties generally aligning for the latter. Hiratsuka notes that whenever he hangs out with Thoma, he ropes him into eating strange food, causing Thoma to become terrified whenever he sees him. Itto remarks that Ayato is a "warrior" with great charisma, and that the two are "on the same wavelength". He is also able to find Sayu with ease despite not appearing to have much ninja training, even though the rest of the Shuumatsuban have difficulty locating her.
==Appearance==
Ayato uses the tall male model. He has long pale blue asymmetrical shoulder-length hair, pale skin, and light purple eyes. He also has a small mole under the left corner of his mouth.
==Official Introduction==
As the head of the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayato is committed to maintaining the prosperity and stability of the region.
At a glance, he is low-profile and graceful. He is not a fan of public appearances and does not seek to show his skills overtly.
But those who do know him understand that he is not to be underestimated. Long ago, when the Yashiro Commission fell on hard times, and when the Kamisato Clan was on the verge of crumbling, it was this young man who rose to the occasion and stabilized the situation.
He could not have achieved his position without extraordinary resourcefulness and cunning. But perhaps, that impenetrable smile belies darker waves.
However, the most intriguing thing is that in most of these negotiations in which he participates, he is not ruthless nor competitive, and is even willing to share the benefits so that everyone can get a relatively satisfactory piece of the pie.
"What exactly is he up to?" is usually what people are thinking after all is said and done.
However, now that everyone has a piece of that pie, perhaps what is on Kamisato Ayato's mind isn't so important.

===Etymology===
* means "god's village", while means "mature man", lit. "twill human". Kamisato can also be more broadly translated to mean "god's origin", which is similar to the word meaning "original god" or "origins of god".
* Ayato's constellation represents either a cypress or a type of oak. This ambiguity comes from the Chinese character , which represents a cypress in Chinese but refers to a specific type of oak tree in Japanese. In both cases, these trees are regarded as sacred trees in Shinto that symbolize eternity, which is Inazuma's ideal.
** It may refer to the trees in Japan, a type of cypress there known for its strength and resistance. Because of its durability, it is often used as wood materials for Shinto shrines. A scholar says the language of flowers associated with hinoki in the Japanese culture is "immortality" and "undying."Japanese Wikipedia: ヒノキ (Hinoki)
*** Ayato's constellation in the original Chinese version, , means "Divine Guardian Cypress Constellation." Similarly, it is translated as "Cypressus Custos" in the English localization, which is Latin for "Guardian Cypress."
** Alternatively, it may refer to the oak trees (sometimes known as the daimyou oak in English). Being a large evergreen tree, it is often used as a symbol of longevity, from the family crests of priests and samurai to the traditional confectionary .
*** Due to the aforementioned difference in meaning of , while the Japanese localization uses the same characters as the Chinese version, instead means the "Divine Guardian Kashiwa Constellation" in Japanese.
*** Furthermore, the Japanese version of his title, , roughly translates to "Hamori of Adamantine Ritual." Hamori ("Leaf-Guardian") is the name of the god of leaves in Shinto, who is said to reside in kashiwa oak trees.
