Hachimaru Hachikaku

## Introduction

**Hachimaru**, born **Hachikaku**, is the main protagonist of the *Samurai Eight: Hachimaruden* series. Originally, a sick and feeble boy who dreamed of becoming a samurai, his dreams became realized after meeting Daruma . He is one of eight created by his father Dr. Futa. After becoming a samurai, he shows that he is sympathetic to those whose lives are similar to his, and will go out of his way to help them. Hachimaru is quite insecure about himself, believing himself to be a weakling even after becoming a samurai, but he masks this with a tough-guy facade. His hidden insecurity drives him to lie about his past out of fear that people will think less of him. However, he discovers his inner bravery and learns that others can accept him regardless of his past, and he finds a new reason to be brave: to protect that which is precious to him despite his weakness.

## Character Details

Hachimaru is an adolescent boy with messy light-brown hair and had a frail physique. He wears a pair of half-rim glasses and has a small tomoe-shaped marking on his forehead. He typically dresses in an asymmetrical beige hooded jacket with a long right sleeve and a short left sleeve, over a dark blue shirt and matching harem pants.

Initially, Hachimaru spends much of his time tethered to a life support device in his house by several large tubes and wires plugged into the back of his head, and his left arm and leg are replaced by simple, doll-like prosthetics. He often wears a VR headset which he uses to play online games. After becoming a samurai, his missing limbs are replaced with less obvious cybernetics and he dons a white belt with pouches and scabbards for his swords, bracers on his forearms and calves, and slip-on shoes.

After traveling into space with Daruma, Hachimaru switches his outfit to a black hooded jacket and matching pants. He also ties his hair back into a spiky ponytail and switches his glasses out for a pair of black goggles. While his goggles are normally positioned on the back of his head below his ponytail, during battle he wills them to the front of his face to cover his eyes.
