He is also one of the *"Triumvirate"* (The Big Three) along with Takeshi Hisagi & Godrick Vorudigōdo.

## Appearance & Personality

Yamashiro is described as a rather big man, 6' 5" in height with a thick chest and broad shoulders, with rippling muscles that are easily recognizable even while wearing a uniform. He also gives off an incredibly heavy sense of presence.

Although he is known to be a violent fighter, Yamashiro's actions tend to be for the best. Yamshiro lives for battle, and enjoys a good fight more than anything. He even holds back in an effort to make any fight last longer. He claims injury and death are nothing but the price one pays for a good fight. Despite his tendency to be brutal, Yamashiro usually stops a fight if his opponent is too injured to fight back, claiming he is not interested in fighting "weaklings who can't fight anymore", and he does not feel obligated to deal a death blow to anyone who cannot fight any longer. However, he will unhesitatingly kill his opponent if they refuse to end their fight. Yamashiro sometimes contradicts his own logic in fighting. On the one hand, Yamashiro wishes to increase his own personal power. On the other hand, he conceals his strength to enjoy a fight for as long as possible. Although he thrives for battle, Yamashiro does have emotions. Yamashiro and his daughter Yuki-Onna, have a very close bond with each other making her one of the few people he truly cares for.

## History

### Early-Life

Yamashiro was the first child born to Shiba Hisagi and Miya Hisagi. His early childhood was marked with violence: when he was four years old, the war between humanity and demons waged and he witnessed first-hand many of the war's casualties. The death and destruction he experienced at such a young age traumatized Yamashiro and made him a pacifist, leading to him training non-stop to achieve his dream of becoming one of the strongest warriors that have walked the planet's surface. At age six, Yamashiro enrolled into the Fighter's Academy, where he consistently scored the highest in each subject and quickly learned any skill taught to him, resulting in him being praised as the best of his generation. After four months, his teachers unanimously agreed let him take the graduation exam early due to Yamashiro being more than advanced enough for pre-knight-level, which he passed later that year. During this time, he began seriously studying the history of the world, gaining a great appreciation for it. On the day he graduated as the youngest post-war graduate, he was approached by a unknown legendary warrior who assessed Yamashiro's fighting knowledge.

After joining a beginner's level knight squad hand selected by the top leaders of the Beast-Kin, Yamashiro went on to honing his skills beyond that of a royal knight at tender age of eight years old. Which lead to him drawing the attention of legendary ranking personnel. Meeting the criteria, Yamashiro's commanding officer allowed him to sit in on clan meetings in the royal palace. A few years after graduating, Yamashiro mastered the ability to transform into a beast from his clan's bloodline to the extent his missions went too easy, though his father declined his son from moving up the ranks until his younger brother could join him on his missions. Yamashiro hated his brother at first, because he always thought of Takeshi as a weakling and never a true Beast-Kin. This changed a few months of training with him, when Takeshi began to tap into a forbidden magic transformation that was looked down upon by the Beast-Kin's ancestry for being un-beast like.
