Rokuro Kiriyama

**Rokuro Kiriyama** (手術 (きら) 岾 (やま)  ロクロ *Kiriyama Rokuro*) is an Oni and a student of Rasetsu Academy

## Affiliation

### Occupation

Student
-Rasetsu Academy

## Appearance

Rokuro is a thin boy of average height, gray hair with black tips as well as two large cowlicks, a pair of black spots over his dark eyes and noticeable eyebags.

Besides the standard Rasetsu Academy uniform, Rokuro always wears a red scarf around his neck which covers half of his face.

## Personality

He is very timid and nervous and incredibly neurotic, constantly believing he is going to die at seemingly any moment. He is also a huge hypochondriac, believing that both a nervousness-induced stomachache and seasickness were stomach cancer and that, as always, he was going to die. Rokuro is typically an incredible coward, as he believes that anything bad or scary that happens will cause him to die. As such, he would prefer to run from most fights, as seen when he hid in a closet during the raid on the Kyoto hideout, but as he progresses and develops over his time with his classmates this tendency is beginning to slowly diminish.

Rokuro is shown to greatly dislike this cowardly and anxious part of his personality and wishes to overcome it and become the same fearless "cool guy" he was when he had his late girlfriend, Ruru. When pressed, he is capable of fighting through his terror and accomplishing great feats of courage and ability, such as when he activated his Blood Eclipse Release and defeated the hybrid to protect Kuina during the Kyoto hideout raid.

## History

About a year ago, Rokuro Kiriyama had a girlfriend named Ruru. When she was by his side, Rokuro was very brave and felt like he could do anything.

However, Ruru had an illness which slowly got worse and worse after the Momotarou Corporation attacked their village and killed their only Oni doctor.

Although Rokuro tried to nurse Ruru back to health, she eventually passed away.

The grief over her death slowly morphed into the anxious coward he is today, not only causing his once black hair to gray but also leading him to develop insomnia.

## Powers & Abilities

**Blood Eclipse Release**: Like all other Oni, Rokuro has the ability to manipulate his own blood to create weapons or tools based on his tastes, experiences and/or traumas.

* **Dance of the Cold Ashes**: Rokuro creates and merges with a mass of blood resembling his late girlfriend, forming a festival robe and fan. Not only does this enhance his physical capabilities, but each movement of his causes petals of blood to spread which Rokuro can manipulate through dance to cut apart his opponents

* **Rage of the Dead Ash Dance:** With the rage of seeing someone being cooler than him in front of Kuina Sazanami, Rokuro's anger takes over him, and he changes into a form where his hair is pointed upwards and where he wears his school clothes like a cape with his scarf turning into to blood like his Dance of the Cold Ashes form. Rokuro in this form seems to be cockier and more aggressive than when he is in his Dance of the Cold Ashes form, he is able to cut true multiple layers of Bacteria, he seems to be less fast in this form but seems to be more powerful with his cut attack.
