Yoshimori Sumimura

**Yoshimori Sumimura** is a Human with Kekkaishi powers living near the Karasumori site. He is now 14 year old. He attends Karasumori Academy with his childhood friend Tokine Yukimura, and then enters to Jetix University which makes him becomes a honours student.

## Abilities

**Hazama-Ryu Kekkaijutsu**: Yoshimori's primary ability. His abnormally high power levels, coupled with his penchant for blunt, borderline haphazard attacks, means that his use of the Hazama style is marked by larger, more impressive Kekkai than his colleague Tokine is generally able to produce. Through training, he has managed to dramatically improve his precision, though his style still tends to favor brute force over finesse.

* **Quasi-Zekkai**: Yoshimori has gradually become adept at producing an imperfect *Zekkai* that manifests as a black-colored flaming aura, which surrounds Yoshimori in a silhouette. It eliminates many things that come into contact with it, however it can be overpowered, and its potency depends greatly on Yoshimori's focus and emotional state. Yoshimori has twice managed to expand and strengthen his Zekkai to the point that it closely resembled the more commonly recognized spherical shape, but still seems most comfortable with the version he initially accessed.

* **Shinkai**: In times of great stress, Yoshimori has also proven capable of instinctively summoning a rare and potent *Shinkai* barrier that manifests itself as a bright white, extending spherical aura, with Yoshimori at the center. **Shinkai** is distinct in that, unlike *Ketsu*, which merely separates the inside from the outside, and **Zekkai**, which rejects foreign entities, *Shinkai* creates a sphere inside of which Yoshimori is able to control reality, rejecting that which he wants removed and maintaining (perhaps even restoring, in Souji Hiura's case) that which he wants preserved. Tokimori Hazama has explained that *Shinkai* is "the first step of the first step" in creating a new world. After training under Hazama, Yoshimori is able to produce *Shinkai*, as needed (with support from Chushinmaru), with far more control over its size and contents.

* **Musou**: Since completing his training in the Sumimura family well, Yoshimori has mastered a perfect **Musou** (blank) state, which completely shuts down his conscious mind and separates his powers from his emotions, using the resulting focus to dramatically increase his speed, precision, reflexes and power. This allows him to produce seemingly indestructible Kekkai in large numbers without any signs of fatigue or strain. While in this state, Yoshimori summons a familiar, or **landlord**, to maintain his connection to his heart. His landlord, Shiguma, takes the form of a striped cube that morphs into various animal and humanoid shapes. Shiguma can also relay Yoshimori's subconscious thoughts to his conscious mind, thus allowing the conscious Yoshimori to understand and analyze the world around him in ways he never could otherwise. As part of Yoshimori, though, Shiguma shares his taste for brute force at the expense of subtlety.
* **Sensory Kekkai**: While training with his mother's Shikigami, Yoshimori learns to use Sensory Kekkai while in his blank state. This allows him to extend his senses and investigate the surrounding area, gaining a great deal of information in the process, including the location of any nearby enemies. He can only maintain this for an instant, however.
