Kazuo Yasahana

Kazuo Yasahana is one of the main characters of *Warped Eternity: Living Destruction's Abyssal Remnants* and is a major supporting character in *Warped Eternity: Brushed Destiny*. He is a kunoichi in a monster hunting village and was formerly a prince in the Durene Household. He considers Minjun Hua one of his main rivals due to being one of the ancient gods of the civilizations of Haengbok, thus forming rivalry and disdain between them.

Kazuo is shown to actually be a Hiryen, but was cast out from his race and abandoned by his parents. He was instead raised in the royal palace of Durene, and was one of the royals of Durene. He is known to work in the Defenders of the Light as one of the newest warriors alongside Ryuga Chisaka. His main style is the Magma Style, and he is one of the Beast Commanders who works in the Beasts of Light Division.

## Personality

Kazup proves herself as an arrogant, and somewhat enthusiasthic and wild man. At first, he proved to be quite a selfish man as he often snuck out and did reckless things without caring for his own future and the consequences it did. He became very wild with freedom, and wanted to do everything he pleased even at the expense of others. He is very rebellious, and brash often having tremendous amount of recklessness. His arrogance was very close to Rei Matsuoka's, as be was often very overconfident and prideful. He was somewhat immature as well, and could be quite short-tempered at times as evident by him kicking a warlord for merely interrupting him while talking and his annoyance over simple things, further expressing his short temperament. His arrogant nature often causes her to be sometimes quite stupid and very bold as he often disagreed with other's commands. He was excessively disdainful towards living a forced life in the line of royalty and was willing to sacrifice her royal status to live the life she wanted. Her demeanor sometimes got Ayumu too concerned and worried for him, simply because of his lack of grace and discipline. Kazuo also showed excessive amounts of disdain and disgust on the treatment of the royals and the constant rules in the Thirteenth Age, further fueling his rebellious, reckless, enthusiasthic and proud behavior. He disliked others telling him what to do, and just did whatever he wanted. It was revealed one of the reasons Kazuo became so rebellious and uninterested in refinedness is because he was constantly suppressed and oppressed under the rules of his household.

He also escaped to live a life filled with freedom, and was like Ryuga, very reckless and blunt. This attitude of rebelliousness made him constantly disobey rules and would often get himself into trouble, but he often would get strategies to more than make up for the awkward situations he would get himself into. This was evident in his first appearance where he spoke to the chief of his village and explained the Defenders of the Light to atone for the fact he disobeyed the chief's rules by joining the organization without permission. This often got him in trouble with Hanaka Himeri who was often frustrated with his recklessness. Kazuo was also very filled with disgust and distaste towards the creatures of the Warped Domain's Lords but began to feel also disgusted with the humans who experimented on the Luntao and the Hiryen. He has shown to be quite torn between his distaste towards the creatures who harm humans and how he realizes those creatures were also harmed severely by the humans. Although he viewed mercy towards enemies as a weak trait that could be exploited, he slowly became merciful towards the creatures of the Warped Domain's Lords except towards those who were purely evil and sought for chaos. This was something Ryuga Chisaka failed to understand, and something they often fought over. His hatred for the humans who experimented on the Luntao and the Hiryen stemmed from the fact that he thought of them as unworthy traitors who weren't worthy of being saved or forgiven.

Due to being a kunoichi in a monster hunting village, Kazuo also developed a dutiful side which he perceives duty as extremely important. In a similar manner to Natsu Anchali, he will do anything to accomplish his duties even if it resorts to more twisted acts to have to fulfill his duties. He also had more knowledge of deception, and would gladly deceive and lie to others if it meant protecting his village and fulfilling his duties. His twisted acts meant he would devise strategies and wouldn't often care about the emotional consequences it had. This often led to the villagers to question his motives and whether he truly cared for the village's wellbeing. Despite this, he had noble intentions at heart but was more than willing to do ruthless acts and his twisted strategies to get the village out of any severe challenges or troubles. This was also the same with his desire to protect people and avenge others from the hands of the Warped Domain's Lords. This was due to his desire to be acknowledged more than a royal of the Yasahana Household, and to be considered more valuable. He also desired to become stronger to avoid being told by others on what he had to do, and thus, he did anything to achieve strength while still committing himself to the core of the Defenders of the Light and the core principles.

Despite his rebellious, boisterous, enthusiasthic, and wild nature, Kazuo absoloutely abhores battle-crazed people referring to them as mere masochists and shows his eccentric and boisterous disgust at them. This is because he is disappointed and extremely disgusted towards such sick and twisted behavior of a person loving the pain someone inflicts on them. This is also because of his defensive and quite aggressive personality, which immediately makes him defend himself and become rude and ill-mannered due to his lack of restraint in terms of defense.

Kazuo also appeared as tough, and stoic as he believed more in actions than the words of someone. His toughness causes him to not show any weakness and his stoicness causes him to seem frigid and unfazed by the things which happen around him, causing him to come off as apathetic and indifferent in addition to his boisterous and blunt nature.

Kazuo also proved to be very cynical

Although he retains a tough, brash, and crude demeanor, it was undeniable that he was certainly interested in rumors and is interested to knowing the latest things happening in other people's lives. He would often peek at others when he did not have to do anything or if it was his free time, and would constantly be interested in overhearing things which happened to other people. One of his most eccentric habits was drinking tea while hearing all of the gossip. Aside from this, Kazuo is immensely eccentric as well, with even the author stating he was the most eccentric main characters, surpassing Ryuga Chisaka too much in terms of eccentricity and being not so normal. This was proven when she pretended to faint and stick his tongue out in disgust while dancing upon seeing Mushihime Hiori, the Goddess of Insect due to his perceived disgust. This eccentricity caused him to be treated as an outcast in the nine centuries due to his lack of discipline and recklessness as well as his dry speech and exaggeration.

When battling with opponents, Kazuo is very nonchalant and rebellious alongside straightforward. He often doesn't care if they are hurt too much by his brute force and although contradictory, he absolutely hates battle-crazed people enough to distance himself to extreme levels away from them.

Despite this, Kazuo was torn between his empathy for others and his desire to live a free life.
