Fighting Style: Dancing Battle Kabuki. A fusion of acting and swordfight invented by Kyoshiro to furtherly advance the art of Kabuki and spread it through the masses. Frenetic attacks and dance steps are combined into a one of a kind style that is simultaneously bizarre and effective. Kyoshiro's will to prove the worth of Kabuki strips him from remorse when it comes to striking down and occasionally kill the opponent, instead finding the view of blood and death as something of exceptional beauty. Nevertheless, Kyoshiro's morals dictate that taking one's life should strictly be the consequence of a duel between warriors, rather than a meaningless act of violence.
