The historical basis for the date of the existence of the first Second Spirit is a source of much debates—while many argued it was during the War of Austrian Succession, some historians have argued that the origin of the Second Spirit is much older and have drawn "factual evidence" from "factual sources", believing that the first Second Spirit was a woman named Rowan Honda—in truth, the first Second Spirit was a British-Irish woman named Anna Badon.

Yaku Family

**"Insignificant being be gone!"**

The **Yaku Family** (Japanese: **夜久 (やく)  家 ()** , *Yaku-ke*), is an Japanese-Scottish-British-Irish multiracial family
of the country that used to be known as the Japanese Empire, and what is now modern-day Japan; the current iteration of the Japanese Empire. Traditionally, they were a bloodline of warriors that protected the hereditary line of Shōguns who ruled over the Miyagi Prefecture and several smaller unnamed overseas territories and dependencies. They are direct relatives to the Honda Family; being related to them through the marriage of Morisuke Yaku`s older brother to the Second Spirit of the Twelve Spirits. Additionally; the Yaku Family are close relatives to the Ushijima Family through the marriage of Hanako Ushijima (*née* **Yaku**) to Wakatoshi Ushijima.

## History

The Yaku Family was founded by the youngest daughter of Akagi Honda; the current Second Spirit, who had married two native Japanese people; a man named Hikari Takanashi, and a woman named Mizuki Tanaka, in order to dilute her foreign features in the case they resurfaced, so as to avoid being murdered like her parents. Through their grandchildren rose the golden generation of the Yaku Family; who would give the Yaku Family, such a fearsome reputation. The diaries kept by Arabella seem to suggest as such; many of her diary entries refer to a large majority of her grandchildren as "literal monsters in the skin of humans", suggesting that she despised them.

## Powers and Abilities

 World renown poison-makers; the Yaku Family is famed for having the innate power to recognize simply by only smell, the overall strength of a poison. Due to this; they have a stronger sense of smell, taste, and touch than other people.
Tsuguko

**"Insignificant being be gone!"**

A **Tsuguko** (Japanese: **継 (つぐ) 子 (こ)** , *Tsuguko*, lit. Successor) is the heir/heiress apparent that has been adopted into any family (usually Japanese or any country on the Asian Continent) to serve as the next Head of the family itself; either due to the lack of suitable heirs or other circumstances, a Tsuguko can also additionally inherit a lordship if they were adopted into a noble family or even a company or even more rarely the position of Head for any Mafia in the world.

## History

The traditions of the Tsuguko stretches back to the time of the almighty Shoguns and Shogunates; in those times, male members of Japan`s Imperial House`s branch families were adopted by the main branch when there was uncertainty and the current Shogun had a lack of male heirs. The first instance of the Tsuguko system is mentioned by Régine Futakuchi, who mentioned that technically she was a Tsuguko to her adoptive family`s inheritance. The Tsuguko is looked down upon in Japanese society and other societies due to having no actual blood relation to the family who adopted them. Most notably, it prevents certain members of the family itself (such as first-cousins, aunts, and uncles) from claiming the position of Head of the family; Anastasia Fukurōdani-Kocho was noted to be another example of a foreign Tsuguko.

## Image gallery

**Satoru Mikami** (Japanese: **三上悟** *Mikami Satoru*) is a third-year student at Kumazawa Academy. He also plays as wing spiker and was the previous ace for the boys' volleyball club.

## Appearance

Mikami is described as being very tall and athletic with wavy light blond hair and brown eyes. He is noticeably more tanned than his teammates due to his pastime as a surfer.

## Personality

Mikami is said to be incredibly sincere, hard-working and mature for a third-year student. He is one of the kindest players for Kumazawa and his signature catchphrase during games is "Let's go have fun!". Despite being the former ace for a Top 8 team, Mikami is very modest of his abilities, believing the first year Alexandre Durand as better deserving the title of ace. In the past, he struggled with feelings of not being able to be the dependable ace his team needed. That part of his personality remained unchanged even in high school. However, he possesses a strong sense of responsibility to his teammates that drives him to improve and overcome heavy pressure.

## Statistics

 Stamina
 Game Sense
 Technique
 Speed

Mikami is an incredibly skilled volleyball player, being the previous ace for Kumazawa.

### Skills

* **Spikes**: Being a former ace of Kumazawa, Mikami is able to perform incredibly powerful spikes. According to Durand, Mikami is able to build up power from his core and the release enables him to add power to his spikes that make it exceptionally difficult for opposing players to handle when blocking or receiving.

* **Cross spike**: The cross spike is Mikami's specialty and he is able to utilize the cross shot with relative ease during most games. He approaches from outside the court and angles himself parallel to the net which in order to allow him to make a sharp inner cross spike that lands in the vanguard. Because of this approach, he is able to get the spike past a triple block without any difficulty.

* **Core stability**: The source of much of Mikami's raw power comes from the way he arches his body backwards while in the air and releases the power with a snap. He often uses this method when performing serves and spikes which makes his attacks troublesome for his opponents.

* **Jump Serve**: Mikami is able to use a jump serve reliably. He has a powerful serve that can break opponents' formation to make it easier for his teammates to block in what is noted to be a perfect example of the serve-and-block technique. However, he does still make the occasional error by sending the ball into the net.

* **Receiving**: Mikami is a talented receiver able to receive serves from powerful players such as Kiryū and Hoshiumi. He is able to make both under and over hand receives with little trouble. If he is in a position where he has moved too far forward and is unable to get his hands up in time to receive, Mikami has been shown to occasionally make a receive with his chest.

## Etymology

* The name **Satoru** means "enlightenment" (悟).
* Satoru's surname **Mikami** means "three" (三) (**mi**) and "above, top, upper" (上) (**kami**).
