**Natsuō Yamamoto** is one of the OC's created by Rajarin Tokairi and part of the Main 6 in Welcome to the New Age.

He was chosen to be the heir to Shen: The Song of The Wind, and wields the Wind Bijou.

Natsuō is a WWII veteran & has been a Ranger on and off for fifty years, but never wanted to fill the role of general due to him feeling he's not ready for that responsibility again. He is also the husband of Do Ryeon Jun.

His theme is 千本桜 https://youtu.be/6vex86Iq6Oo

## Appearance

Natsuō has brown hair that is often tied with a red bandana at the front, a tanned skin complexion with many scars from both war and the Hiroshima bombing, the most notable being a scar that goes from his right cheek to his collarbone. Natsuō also has orange eyes and wears a bronze military Dog Tag along with a golden wedding band on his right ring finger.

   As a Garuda (eagle demon), Natsuō has golden wing marks on his back & shoulder blades, better described in the image provided.

## Personality

He’s a chill person but a bit timid. Protective of the ones he love much like Do Ryeon Jun, his husband. He seems intimidating, but he is a sweet heart who will do anything to protect his loved ones. Natsuo also knows to be gentle when he needs to, as he often works in cases involving children with the Rangers. In fact, he often keeps candy in his pockets.

## Abilities

As the heir to Shen, Natsuō uses the regalia known as the Wind Bijou, which is stuck onto his arm guard.

Natsuō, while living and in Delphinia City, has incredible aim and eyesight, which is amplified by his incarnation as a Gardua, as eagles have deadly eyesight. It is said that if Natsuō misses a target, he did it on purpose.

This skill was developed due to Natsuō being a war veteran of WWII, him being the only person in his family who partook in it. This experience along with incidents as a Ranger that have yet to be named have given Natsuō extreme trauma, PTSD, depression, pyrophobia (fear of fire), and phonophobia (fear of loud noises).

The Bijou acts as a charger for his arrows so he can control them completely and allows Natsuō to control the wind and redirect his arrows with his breathing.

Sometime in his stay at Delphinia city, he's eaten over 30 demon souls. This has given him a Juno form, also known as a Rouge form. This can be powerful but difficult to control, as Natsuō needs help getting out of it.

Natsuō also is skilled at the shamisen and can be seen playing it with his family in Rajarin Tokairi's 1925 animatic.

## Death

Natsuō, along with almost his entire family, died in 1945 as they were caught in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. At the time he was off-duty and spending time with his younger siblings in a festival when the bombing wiped out the entire village.

His father may have survived and unknowingly entered Delphinia. & One of Natsuō's sisters, Kiyomi, went missing during the war, and has yet to be found.
