==Personality==
As a child, Kojiro was completely carefree of life, and often next to the plate. He arrived almost late at his dojo, a few minutes before the end of the course and yawning, and when his instructor grew him, he continued to laugh and thought that it was complimented. It was more very close to nature, fascinated and laughing as soon as he met an animal. However, it had already enough mild strength to survive several months in the forest without significant injuries.
In his teenage years, Kojiro seemed much more confident and intelligent. He still seemed very open to others, and seemed embarrassed when his first instructor bowed before him, recognizing his strength. He remained quite carefree: when his master, Seigen Toda, visited him, he served him a tea made with leaves randomly picked up on the ground, having no other means at his disposal. Kojiro became less impressionable by the elements of everyday life, but much more impressionable by the power of others.
As a young adult, Kojiro kept looking for masters with the sword to face them and lose against them, then simulate still and still fights against them until defeating them. This shows that he was still looking for power for himself, and that he did not see any disadvantage to lose a fight. Even when he was killed by Musashi Miyamoto, Kojiro stated that nothing but for the excitement conferred by this fight, it was the most beautiful moment of his life.
In old age, Kojiro always remained smiling, open and confident. He also continued to eat. When Brunehilde dropped on the ground of the plates of Salmiakki, officially the worst northern pastry of all time, and in which Brunehilde had already crunchy, Kojiro stooped and began to eat these disgusting pieces, saying even that he found that Well. In addition, Kojiro continued not to fear the defeat, never won a fight of his life. Twice during his confrontation against Poseidon, he thought he was going to lose, and welcomed death without the slightest fear, just saying that anyway it would not be the first defeat of his life. In addition, Kojiro has shown that he could easily understand the feelings of others: Poseidon was very surprised when he was told for the first time of his existence (in several millions of years) that he had to have a really sad life, And was extremely vexed that Kojiro understands it as well. Finally, despite its usual desire to win, Kojiro can be very determined to win when it is supported by other people: instead of dying against the 40-day deluge of Poseidon, he has survived only through a motivation. conferred by the encouragement of all the swords of history.
