**Library** (**ライブラリー**) is a Taimanin (Cyborg) who was once called **Sago Bungo** (**佐郷 文庫**) in the past.

He worked as a Fuuma clan ninja for Fuuma Danjo and later Task Force G, at which point he got his first cyborg parts. He changed his ways and wished to rejoin the Taimanin to visit his daughter's grave, his death was faked with the help of Ayame and he became "**Library**". He now works as a protector of Fuuma Kotaro and has helped many others around the village.

## Personality

A well composed and mature man which sometimes struggles to talk, willing to risk his life to protect others. Polite, modest and respectful in his tone, even using honorifics towards younger characters. Often concerned for his daughter Izumo Tsuru, but awkward when it comes to conversation. Library is somewhat troubled as he is concerend he is not being a good father to Tsuru.

In his past, he belonged to the group of Taimanin loyal to Fuuma Danjo. He was known as a man of conviction, "throw away your life for the sake of your master" was not something to question for him, he would often train other Fuuma members without holding back, and because of that he was rather notorious and feared. Others that lacked the same resolve as Bungo would be too scared. Having high expectations, he viewed himself as nothing as a tool for his master. For some time, this changed as he met Izumo Kinu, which viewed him as a person and which he also married. However, after her natural death and the death of his master after the revolt, he swore revenge, thinking of nothing else.

Only, as he heard that his daughter now also had perished in yet another Fuuma revolt, did his conviction waver and he wished to protect the village his daughter lived in. Thankful for Fuuma Kotaro and remains as a loyal supporter and advisor in the shadows.

## History

### Background

Born as, **Sago Bungo** a Taimanin of Fuuma Village, he is a distant relative of the Fuuma family, and served the Fuuma clan, before the unification of the Taimanin in Gosha Village.

Was the captain of a guerrilla unit, and trained the other Fuuma clan members. Bango was rather infamous for his brutal style, which often ended with his training partners knocked out cold, and Fuuma Amane was one of the few that could take his training. Often feared by teammates and isolated because of his high ideals, he once saved Fuuma Village from a fire in the nearby forest, but suffered heavy burns as he was unwilling to cooperate or seek help. Unknown to him, he was observed by Izumo Kinu, which became impressed but also curious as he seemed very alone.

After training rounds with his crew, he was called by Fuuma Danjo and assigned Izumo Kinu as an assistant and co-captain. Something that Bungo realized was a political decision to appease the more conservative parts of the Fuuma clan. While at first suspicious of Kinu and her skills, thinking she might have been a dull person just following her family will, he was proven wrong fast. Thanks Kinu, the unit improved quickly, and both could cooperate their dedication and calmness perfectly.

The group was sent out near a forest of Atami, and battle against the Kukunochi a Spirit, which came in contact with the Miasma of Brain Flayer technology, and was transformed into a monster. Taking on the creature, on their own and letting the team flee, both could overpower the forest spirit but in their last attack Kinu was pierced by one of the tree roots. Sago reacted strongly to what he assumed was her death, and for the first time felt like he was treated as a person. However, Kinu revealed she could heal from such an injury. With both their feelings revealed, both married after returning to the village and had their daughter Sago Izumo.

He had met Fuuma Kotaro in the past, but Kotaro has no memory of it as it was so long ago. Furthermore, he served Fuuma Danjo during the Fuuma Revolt, year **2068**, even with Danjo's defeat, continued the fight as his wife Kinu died of illness, as he became a Fuuma Danjo Loyalists.

Leaving Gosha, burned Fuuma Village, and his daughter behind, he gave his body to Task Force G and was turned into a Cyborg. As an agent, of "G" he became feared as a veteran.

### Timeline TABA

Artwork of his "former" form is used as the Taimanin Slayer, known as a Taimanin that betrayed Gosha and became a Cyborg. As he is not named, it is unclear if it is the same one. The Taimain Slayer, is defeated in **2082**, by a Taima Beast, on a test attack the UFS performed on Gosha to check the quality of their weapon Angers.

### Timeline RPGX

When Danjo was killed, Bungo defected to the UFS and turned his own body into a cyborg, thanks to the help of "G". Vowing to restore the Fuuma clan and avenge Danjo, he fought for the Special Service Agency G for years. His daughter, never forgave him for leaving her alone back in Gosha and became an opponent of those, that wished to restart the old conflict between Gosha and Fuuma clan. She took her late mother's maiden name, and now was called Izumo Tsuru.

Around **2078-2080**, Fuuma Amane, which like Bungo had decided to keep fighting together, with Tekkain Bantetsu in a Fuuma Danjo Loyalists, decided to leave the group, not pleased with the direction of them working with G of the UFS and other groups of the Japanese government. Bantetsu viewed this as betrayal, and started to hunt her down, in his pursuit, near one of Danjo's old hideouts. He got ready to kill both Amane and teenage Kotaro, which was studying the technique manuals. However, Bungo intervened last second and stabbed Bantetsu from behind, telling him he was no longer an ally as the murder of children was dishonorable. Thanks to the later secret intervention of the Internal Affairs Bureau, Banetsu was given much later the body of Miranda Closet as a host.

Thirteen years after the death of Fuuma Danjo, **2083**, he received the news, that the daughter he left behind in Gosha Village had died, after a new Fuuma revolt under Nisha Gaiza, which also followed Danjo blindly. Up until then, Bungo had been fighting without thinking about his daughter, but her death changed something in him. Eventually, everything became empty, and he finally decides to leave the Agency G and visit his daughter's grave in Gosha.

However, Sago's cyborg technology is a high level military secret for G, and therefore he is not allowed to leave the agency. On the contrary, Sago's attempt to leave the agency was seen as the act of a traitor, and he was finally about to be punished, so he decided to escaped to the underground city of Yomihara and lived in hiding for a long time. In order to visit his daughter's grave, he approached the Japanese government for protection.

In response, Independent Rangers of Fuuma Kotaro were dispatched as a rescue team, but Sago was shot and killed by the independent Taimanin Makishima Ayame. Which is considered the official story for the Taimanin and Governments. However, this was nothing but a trick by Asagi to deceive the UFS, G, Japanese government, and even the people of Gosha who had a grudge against him. As revealed, the Internal Affairs Bureau of Mine Funako, had planned to butcher him for his advanced cyborg parts, to further their own cyborg research.

Thus, Sago Bungo's death was faked, and a few months later, a Gosha developed, new nameless and faceless cyborg Taimanin, called **Library** joins their side. More machine than man, as they claim, but in reality Library was just given additional parts as an additional cover.

"**Library**" now supports Fuuma Kotaro, who has been designated as the new lord of the Fumma clan. As he retained his sense of taste, he often tries to do cooking and works around both Gosha and the Fuuma Estate, as a secret guard.

In year **2084**, His daughter Tsuru turned out to be alive, having been captured by a Taimanin serial killer, that used the cover of the chaos of the revolt of Nisha Gaiza, to capture her unnoticed. However, she suffered heavy injuries, and though she recovered in mind and body and pleaded to serve Fuuma Kotaro as her savior, "Library" felt too ashamed for his actions believing it to be best if Tsuru thought he had died, as he would watch after her from the shadows.

Library beat back Kuroki Shizuku and Onigumo Saburo, of the Nisha Ninja Troops, when they tried to infiltrate as they went through the nearby forests of Gosha.

When the Igawa Revolt Group, reformed under Igawa Senshu, he helped to defend Gosha, in the year **2085**. He allowed his daughter to fight, the brother of the serial killer, that acted as a bystander to the actions of his brother. Tsuru, does make it clear, that she knows who he is for a while now, and is thankful for the trust he put in her, for dealing with that dangerous enemy alone.

Library was given the vacation ticket for Atami, year **2087**, that Fuuma Kotaro won in the battle between Juno and Dakini. In the hope that Library could relax and also connect to his daughter, both were given a forced vacation, with Shishimura Koro and Homare Nao coming with them to make it less awkward. While, both struggled at first to talk about their feelings and the past, after Library recalled his meeting with his wife Kinu, he and his daughter talked for the first time for a while as father and daughter.
