Kanzaki Junbei

Senzaki Dark Casino

**Junbei** Kanzaki (金崎 **銃兵衛**) is a former Taimanin of the Fuuma clan, that became part of the criminal underworld.

He has remained mostly neutral, protecting his own turf in Senzaki.

## Personality

He can be a bit arrogant, giving himself the title, "Shining Gangster of Senzaki's darkness, Junpei Kanzaki" and almost playful with his gangster persona.

He tends to have a friendly, joking and easy going attitude but will kill, should somebody go too far against him or his town. Junbei often uses nicknames or talks in familiar way to friends and new acquaintance. There is almost nothing in town he isn't aware of, and he can be far more calculated than he lets on.

He is a womanizer or tries to be, but tends to fail to close the deal if he flirts and gives out drink. Though, had some minor success with Suzuka. Junbei will help a woman in need but tries to stay neutral in most conflicts, unless people he cares about are harmed.

Junbei likes to tease Kotaro, but both are on good terms, even though he doesn't think highly of the Fuuma clan. He is a childhood friend of both Fuuma Kotaro and Nisha Gaiza but dislikes their fight and tries to avoid picking a side, refusing to join Gaiza in his plan to take down the Taimanin and Kotaro.

Though disconnected from the Nisha clan and a Rogue Taimanin, he keeps still close ties with Tekkain Kaworu. Junbei treats her like his own biological sister, and addresses her as such. Kaworu in turn, shows concern for Junai and slight concern for his lax attitude. Both also seem to share information and intel with each other regular enough to remain informed. He also became friends with Erica Blackmore, Fuuma Yukiharu and Shinganji Kurenai.

## Appearance

He has golden eyes and blond hair.

Wears a black full bodysuit.

## History

### Background

A Taimanin born into the Fuuma clan and a user of the Evil Eye.

Junbei is a distant relative of, Nisha Gaiza, Fuuma Kotaro and Fuuma Tokiko and has been a close friend to all of them. During their time in Fuuma Village, acted like an older brother to multiple characters. Often seen as a brother type and has a close connection to Tekkain Kaworu and, knows of Aishu Hebiko like of Fuuma. Possibly joined Gosha Village after the **2068**, with the end of the Fuuma Revolt. Unlike Gaiza that felt bitter about joining, Gosha, Junbei did not care much but desired himself to be free. Because of this, long before the revolt of Nisha, Junbei left the village.

### Timeline RPGX

He left Gosha Village and the Fuuma clan behind, years prior to Taimanin RPGX. He expands his own criminal enterprise in the Senzaki city Area, he owns the Senzaki Dark Casino from which he operates. Known as the "Face of Senzaki", Fuuma Kotaro still uses him for information from time to time. He has contact to the Rogue Taimanin, Shinganji Kurenai and both have no conflict, he is typically seen jokingly flirting with women but shows little success in the area. As Nisha Gaiza left, Gosha during his Fürst sponsored revolt, year 2082. Junpei, just like Tekkain Kaworu, was requested to support the Nisha Ninja Troops but Junbei rejected this, as he saw Kotaro and Gaiza as his friends and regardless did not desire to join any side in the conflict.

Around **2083**, he informed Yukikaze and Kotaro about a possible location of Kurenai but not before making things awkward for Yukikaze and Kotaro. Junbei later on stopped a hostile take over of some local Senzaki restaurants, from a criminal business owner that tried to gain the area by sabotage.

Junbei, helped Yuri to reach Yomihara, when she got lost in the tunnels, with him giving some sweet talk to her. He, further, was invited to talks with his sister Tekkain Kaworu, Incubus Faction and others by Task Force G. However, the talks broke down as G proved itself to be not trustworthy. He has still a good relationship with his sister that rules Amidahara Prison and Black Rose.

In another event, he appears together with Fuuma Kotaro and Shinganji Kurenai, in Yomihara after the death of Lady Shark. As the town is rather empty with Nomad, cleaning out members of the Landshark, which were loyal to another demon noble. A Brain Flayer, Suzuka, walks into the bar and starts to order milk, with Junbei unaware of what type of demon she could be, he starts to flirt with her and invites her for more drinks. However, their interaction is misunderstood and a short exchange of blades ends with Suzuka stating, that he basically gave her a marriage proposal out of the blue. Junbei, rather confused by the situation, still befriended the Brain Flayer, that was on a mission from her Queen Marjaana. When Suzuka said her goodbye, she later mentioned Junbei to the Queen in a call, as somebody she might want to go on a date with.
