Bryce Papenbrook (English)

**Renjiro Kadomatsu** is the deuteragonist featured in *Tackle Tendency*.

Renjiro is an Eastlander Water Breathing user and disciple of Taiyo Hino. He is the grаndson of Hachiro Kadomatsu and battles the Pillar Men alongside his allies and teachers to honor his heritage as a Kadomatsu Clan.

## Appearance

Renjiro is a young man with orange-brown sporting unkempt hair, He has quite thin, blue eyes that appear to slant inwards, each with one long eyelash flowing to the far side of his face. He is very attractive as noted by many women and even by Kasuke.

Renjiro wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform, a black gakuran jacket, a white belt, baggy chocho zubon pants that extend into tabi socks, a pair of zōri with red straps, and bands of white cloth wrapped tightly around his calves resembling kyahan, He's wearing a checkered, black-and-orange haori.

## Personality

Renjiro is introduced as an arrogant Water Breathing User looking down on Kasuke Boruto's sub-par Ripple ability and missing no occasion to ridicule him and antagonize him in general. However, he reveals himself to be an honorable man, taking pride in his family's tradition of battling evil as well as wishing to avenge the death of his friend, Mark, at the hands of the Pillar Men. When Kasuke reveals himself to be an honorable individual as well, their relationship considerably improves. In general, Renjiro is respectful to his elders and superiors, most notably his master Taiyo Hino. When it comes to his peers, while he maintains at best shallow relations with those around him, when he truly cares for someone, it is true love, best evidenced by his relationship with Kasuke.

## Appearance

**Overall Abilities:** As a skillfully trained individual, Renjiro possesses very high physical abilities: along with a vast amount of physical strength and proficiency in sword combat, Renjiro has demonstrated an amazing sense of balance, even being able to perform the "seated jump" that his grandfather previously performed.

**Immense Stamina and Endurance:** Renjiro able to survive for a few days without water, and taking high amounts of physical punishment while still being able to get up and continue fighting. His endurance was best demonstrated when even after receiving Tisandros' Divine Sandstorm head-on, he still managed to get up and continue fighting for a short amount of time, even managing to produce a Total Concentration Breathing after losing huge amounts of blood.

**Immense Precision:** Renjiro also has high precision, managing to catch a Breathing Style enhanced spaghetti thrown by Kasuke using the holes in the tortiglioni he was eating.

**Swordsmanship:** As an immensely gifted individual, Renjiro is an incredible swordsman, to the point even Tisandros thought that she was more talented than Kasuke Boruto.

**Water Breathing:** Being a natural-born Water Breathing user through his grandfather's bloodline, Renjiro was able to project its power from an early age, though it was only under Taiyo's guidance that he learned how to properly use it. Renjiro is able to use more advanced techniques such as focusing the Breathing in his bladetips, and much like Kasuke can channel the Ripple through objects, such as weapons, food, or even living beings. In one particular instance, he put a young woman into hypnosis by charging Breathing through her via a kiss.
