**Azusa** Kiichi (鬼壱 **あずさ**) is a Taimanin and Onmyoji, she belongs to a sidearm of the Shinganji clan.

First introduced in the Dark Future Timeline and later normal timeline of Taimanin RPGX.

## Personality

Azuna is elegant and moves around almost like a ghost in pure silence. She is highly effective and does not raise her voice, remaining cold and calm, giving her an almost eerie vibe.

Respected as a true genius and very dedicated to fighting with her blade to become powerful. Azusa, hides a deep hatred and desire for revenge, which pushes her forward and makes her in secret disregard the limitations which humans or groups like the Taimanin or Onmyoji provide. She mentions "Buddhahood" a lot and griefs or feels anger for the dead that no longer can reach it. Azusa, in conversations with Rinko, hinted that the protection of humans is not her highest goal.

She is able to kill without mercy and would be willing to become an enemy of mankind to become strong enough to take down her enemy.

Born fully blind as an heir to her family, which was forcing their expectations on her, until she was introduced to Shinganji Kaede, which taught her to use her Ninja Art to see, and live for her own sake not her clan. Azusa viewed Kaede as her "light" and with her death became driven by revenge. A rival of Akiyama Rinko once respected and liked by Rinko, still holds respect for Rinko even after everything is revealed. Her parents, found a different heir and for Azusa, they stopped to matter, at this point.

Her anger is shown if she opens her eyes, Azuka is a friend and loyal to Mauzer in the Dark Future Timeline.

## Appearance

She has long white hair and her eyes are closed. Her real eyes are red.

Wears a long white dress, which ends in a red flame/flower like pattern. Additionally, her hair contains a long ornament, resembling scorpion tails.

## History

Azusa is an Onmyoji of Gogyo Academy but her family has ties to the Taimanin.

The Kiichi are a small side family of the Shinganji clan, which ultimately is part of the Fuuma clan. As the sole daughter and heir of Shinganji Ayaka and Kiichi Hogen, she is also one of the grandchildren of Shinganji Gen-an. Which makes her the cousin of Shinganji Kurenai.

She was born blind, and her family pushed for her to gain strength to be a worthy heir. Her uncle Shinganji Sakyo introduced her to her aunt Shinganji Kaede, which was meant to be the next heir of the Shinganji clan to train and learn her Ninja Art the Mind Eye, which could enable her to see. During that time, Azusa, which only knew darkness before, saw her aunt Kaede and started to worship her as her light. While the training wasn't fully ended, at some point something happened and Azusa was called by her uncle before learning of the death of Kaede, which drove her down the path of revenge. *The details are currently unknown because of an ongoing story line.*

Azusa learned the Onmyo Nenryu style of sword fighting, and regardless of her blindness was able to feel the spiritual energies around her to fight on par with the strongest sword fighters. She lived and worked as an Onmyoji in the Rokuhara Kyoto area in Gogyo Academy. Having mostly stopped, her pursuit as a full on Taimanin or family heir.

However, she was sent to Gosha Village and now worked, half a year, as a Taimanin. She became a training partner for Akiyama Rinko and befriended her, but always seemed to hide something.

Two years after she arrived in Gosha Village, she disappeared while investigating a ruin in year **2086**, near Rokuhara and was "spirited away". The Onmyo Agency under Academy principal Kibino Sanki, send both her old friend Kamimura Maika and newby Kurahashi Hoku after her. Rinko looked for Azusa as well, and both the Taimanin and Onmyo teamed up for their investigation. Fighting a number of half machine Golems called "Daidarabotchi", Azuna was found in a strange machine deep within the Brain Flayer-like ruin.

After her rescue, seem to push away how she got there and displayed red glowing cyborg eyes. The machine in truth had changed Azusa's body and turned her into a machine life form, now able to see with her own red eyes, she gained strength above those of a normal human but became intrigued to gain even more power. Still filled by her hate from the death of Shinganji Kaede.

In the year **2087**, during a final visit to Gosha, a training fight between her and Akiyama Rinko ended with a draw, while Azusa stopped her blade, she mentioned that they both could not go on given their limitation as humans and responsibilities as Taimanin and Onmyoji. While, most watchers considered the fight a draw, Rinko knew that Azusa had defeated her and could have fought even harder if she tried. Azusa left, but Rinko, started to worry about their exchange and began to follow her in secret alone, leaving Yukikaze, and others behind.

Azusa claiming to be on a mission, attacked a ship of Task Force G and killed all the people on board, downloading data of G, she taught herself, while Rinko observed from the distance. Later on, Azusa reached a mysterious island of legend with the data, in myth the one where Amaterasu made the mirror while she was hiding. However, she knew the truth that, Task Force G was looking for a Brain Flayer base on the island. Killing even more members of G, she made her way to a small shrine and with her eyes was able to go past the shielding, reaching the Brain Flayer ruin.

This location was an abandoned hideout of Marjaana, which regardless of its state sent one of her servants to investigate after it was noticed there were intruders. Azusa, still viewed as human by the automatic defenses, was attacked but defeated the Pazuzu and Sakyla units in the base. Arriving at high-tech shrine, Akiyama Rinko stepped out of the shadows to confront Azusa about what she was doing, having seen her red eyes and now mechanical changes. Explaining what had happened, in the ruin a few months ago, their talk was interrupted by Marjaana's servant Suzuka, a sword fighter to be feared. Azusa, stating that they could not win for now, asked Rinko to give her some time, as she interacted with the strange machines on the side and became enshrouded by its light. As Rinko fought Suzuku, she could only make a small dent against her barriers and was wounded, with Suzuku unwilling to kill her.

Azuka stepped out of the light of the machine and was changed, as Suzuku was shocked by something she had done. Transcending the limitation of both human and machine, she had become something new, breaking the shield and defeating Suzuka without effort. Rinko commenting on her speed which rivaled now Igawa Asagi. Allowing Suzuku to leave as thanks for not killing Rinko, she healed Rinko's wounds before setting out to her true revenge, willing to become an enemy of mankind and a destroyer.

In the Dark Future Timeline:

Around year 2092 and onward, it is mentioned that her body was almost destroyed but was saved by Mauzer the Queen of the Brain Flayers restored her, turning her into a mechanical being underneath. Since she was loyal to Mauzer, and was sent by out to investigate a hideout of Dagon. She learned of his plans of betrayal and kills one of his underlings Abduh and destroys the base. There is currently some level of uncertainty, as the events of the main RPGX canon did not occur in this world and Azusa has not reached the level of strength, displayed in the main timeline.
