Kazuma Kitagawa (北川 数限間, *Kitagawa Kazuma*?, lit. *North River Infinite Space*) is a major character appearing in the ***Chivalry of a Failed Knight: Eight Souls Sword Dance*** Fanon Canon/light novel series, penned by Amezuki Yatsushiro. He is the youngest of the Kitagawa Family, a decently high ranking family of Japan and the League of Mage-Knights. He is a student of Hagun Academy and is the fourteenth rank student, known as **Swordsmith** (剣士, *Kenshi*?)

## Background

Kazuma Kitagawa is the youngest member of the Kitagawa family. As he lived in his family household he was very weak in the eyes of their father Tessoku Kitagawa, so he was disowned and kicked out of the family at the age of five. He would live in the comfort of wolves for six years in the harsh and freezing mountains. Around this time he summoned his Device but gave them no name. One day, he was founded by a fairly middle-age man named Hisoka Tawamura, an acclaimed long-lost descendant of Sengo Muramasa, and was taken to China with his pet wolf Asuka. Under the hospitality of Hisoka, he would learn how to forge weapons for 2 years becoming a master and would create his first Noble Phantasm from it with his unique magic type within *Conceptual Manipulation* known as *Conceptual Manipulation (Sword)*. Due to his crafting skills in swords, Hisoka nicknamed him as Sengo Muramasa because his skill and style was similar to his. He would lose Hisoka at the age of thirteen when he passed away and would learn from his wife, Amara. He would learn many house keeping and hosting skills from her until he was fifteen. Once she passed away as well, he named his device Kanshou and Bakuya as he traveled back to Japan based on the story "The Legend of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye".

He was an irregularity when he was enrolled into Hagun Academy. He wonder gain his rank through sheer power rather than skill due to the fact he never had proper sword training. With his power from his first Noble Art, he was nicknamed **Swordsmith** (剣士, *Kenshi*?). He was sixteen roughly seventeen once he enrolled to Hagun. He never had a proper teacher, so his fighting style is very rough. He is currently learning under Muramasa K. Toyohime and after his lost during the first round of the Sixty-Second Seven Swords Festival to Hayate Inazuma. He was promised to learn to Toudou fighting style by Ayane Toudou.
