==Summary==
Taiyo Yozakura, neé Asano, is the protagonist of the series and the husband of Mutsumi Yozakura. He is very kind and compassionate, which is very surprising in the world of spies. Originally an ordinary human, his training to be a spy has caused him to become a superhuman. His reason for marrying Mutsumi is because of the Yozakura family's one rule: "No killing among family"—the one thing that would protect him from getting killed by Mutsumi's overprotective brother Kyoichiro. He specializes in using Yae, a revolver that fires electricity instead of bullets and can transform into a katana. After Mutsumi gives him some of her blood, he gains the abilities of the Yozakura family, including the ability of "Blooming". His Blooming ability allows him to harden his body. His signature color is red.

Striking Strength: Unknown, Large Town level with Blooming (In the past 74% of Taiyo's battle ability relied on Yae, now he is strong enough to knock out enemies who would have defeated him in the past, even without Yae. Alexandryu complemented the force of his punches which he never did for Kyoichiro, and he fought him without using Yae once), higher with True Spring Blooming (With this form Momo stated that even a single punch will the strongest attack he's ever done before unlocking this form.

At this point his Hardening is notable enough to have spread rumors through out the underworld as Hydra knows it and is terrified of it), even higher with True Spring Blooming (Withstood the force of the punch he used to one shot Alexandryu.

Furthermore, at low power it can also treat shoulder stiffness. Second Yae: Rain transforms into a katana designed to conduct electricity, using the revolver as a grip. The sword has no guard and has a fuller extending almost the full length of the sword. Yozakura Family Ring which is capable of skimming through and analyzing electronic data.
Intelligence: Gifted (He has spent an additional 5 years undercover, building experience as a spy and even becoming a gold ranker. The barrier to entry for Gold rank combatants is far higher than silver and would require even more intelligence and quick thinking than the Silver rank exam he passed previously to reach that level. Can easily read the intentions of spies with decades of experience such as Alexandryu. In the past 74% of his combat ability relied on Yae, now currently he's completely confident in going into fights without it. As well as fighting purely hand-to-hand combatants such as Alexandryu without using Yae and holding his own. When Taiyo's dominant hand which was holding Yae was chopped off by Asa, he could think quickly enough to pick up his blade to deflect a wave of needle attacks coming from all directions)
Weaknesses:
The circulation of someinine will start to halt if there is excessive blood loss or if the heart and lungs stop, which will dull a Yozakura's powers like Blooming.Mission: Yozakura Family, Chapter 80Mission: Yozakura Family, Chapter 82 The Blooming weakens when you lose control over your emotions.Mission: Yozakura Family, Chapter 76 He can only remain in True Spring Blooming for 3 minutes without long term damage to his body. He refrains from using Profuse Blooming, since that power even now is still somewhat unstable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:<tabber>
|-|Blooming=
Blooming (開花, Kaika) is an ability created when the Someinine in the Yozakura's blood strengthens the body to its limits. With each ability being unique to each user’s personality or beliefs, becoming a trump card for those given the Yozakura Blood. For Taiyo, this ability is called Hardening.
* Hardening - Taiyo is able to solidify parts of his body and soften his joints to absorb the impact of attacks. This renders him incredibly resilient to injury. Where bullets flatten against his skin and even powerful explosions leave him completely unharmed.
|-|True Spring Blooming=
True Spring Blooming (開花春来, Kaika Shunrai) is an evolution of the standard Blooming. Which can only be obtained upon mastering both sides to their standard Blooming. In Taiyo's case, since his base ability was Hardening, his opposite side was learning how to soften himself to absorb damage better and make himself more fluid as a fighter. This mastered Blooming is also more powerful as it is 100% activation of a body's Someinine. Although said 100% activation can be straining on some users, in this case Taiyo.
|-|Profuse Blooming=
Profuse Blooming of 10000 flowers is different from Regular Blooming, which uses Somenine to stimulate the user's cells but rather turns the body into high-energy crystalized Somenine, effectively converting the user into a source of power. Although it is a product of Tsubomi's blood, one can't control it without Tsubomi's help unless one can increase the concentration of Tsubomi's blood in their body. With Profuse Blooming one also feels a direct link with their weapon while increasing their weapon's energy output.
|-|First Yae: Clear Skies=
* Yozakura Gun Technique: Turbulent Cherry Blossom - Taiyo swings his arms 90 degrees while releasing a high energy burst of electricity from Yae, which can detonate glass on contact.
* Thunder Clap - A high power blast of electricity akin to a lightning bolt, which can make thunder like shockwaves with its movement, Taiyo can also use this for propulsion
*Dragon Meteor Shower - A blast of electricity that scatters into 5 separate blasts

DMS-TaiyoAsano.png|Dragon Meteor Shower
|-|Second Yae: Rain=
* Yozakura Ancient Sword Technique: Spiral Autumn Shower - Taiyo charges forward while doing a spiraling sword attack.
* Yozakura Ancient Sword Technique: Amaterasu - Taiyo lets Yae's current flow through his cells and increase his Someinine blood's conductivity and charges forward at high speeds. Going for a slashing attack.
** Amaterasu: Chaotic Blooming - A Profuse Blooming variant of Amaterasu. The speed and power of the attack is increased notably compared to standard Blooming. On impact the slash generates a large shockwave, it is strong enough to slightly pierce Kyoichiro's Goddess Web. Even with a broken blade.
**Amaterasu: Turbulent Bloom - This Profuse Blooming variant focuses on heat. It is hot enough to instantly vaporize targets.
**Amaterasu: Empty Sword - A non lethal variant of Amaterasu, using the hilt of the blade to hit the opponent instead. He also has used this as a method boost his speed to catch up to Kyoichiro. Even though he was far behind him. This can be used with or without Profuse Blooming.
*Great Shining Sky - Taiyo infuses Yae with the energy from his True Spring Blooming, then rushes at the enemy while holding his sword to the side in order to bisect the target
* Stabbing Rain - Taiyo stabs the opponent then slashes out to tear the targets body apart.
* Kanrai - Taiyo uses Yae to accumulate and weaponize the ions in a the air to create a bolt of lightning. Taiyo can choose to form it right above the enemy, or can call it down from the clouds.
* Utsuemi Shigure - A non-lethal attack, where Taiyo dashes around the target attacking from all angles in an attempt to land a hit.
*Dark Thunder (Raimei) - By connecting his revolver with strings by attaching said strings to the motor, Taiyo can launch himself towards the enemy with a downwards piercing strike
*Daybreak - A horizontal slash of electricity
*Ascending Waterfall - Taiyo swings vertically upwards with an electrically charged attack
*Sheet lightning - Can use static electricity to magnetize metal to create a small shield for himself

|-|Miscellaneous=
*Stepping on flowers - The Hinagiku way of moving, a soft walking motion that absorbs all sound and resistance (being as silent as a flower petal falling to the ground), allowing the user to make delicate, swift movements so fast that enemies can't even see them. Although, until the silver rank exam, Taiyo's use of the technique was a simple imitation as it strains his body.
*White Flower - While in Profuse Blooming, Taiyo minimizes his energy consumption while throwing a punch. Then at the moment of impact he releases it all at once
*Cherry Blossom Fangs - While in True Spring Blooming, Taiyo gathers all the strength he can and focuses it into his fist before releasing it all on contact. This punch is strong enough that Taiyo uses it as a means to one-shot his opponents whenever possible.
