Kiyomaro

**Kiyomaro** (**清麻呂**) is a devine boar god of luck, he belongs to the 12 Zodiac deities.

He is a boss in Taimanin RPGX.

## Personality

Kiyomaro, fights dirty and avoids his task to perform in the ritual, prefers to play around. Not particularly smart, and unaware of his surroundings.

He likes to pick up young ladies, but is mostly harmless for a god. Kiyomaro also lacks tact and skill when picking up women, which he is too prideful to admit. When defeated, grants his wish. He has the strange desire to marry an actress, have a human child and maybe even visit the moon if he had the time.

## Appearance

He looks like a gigantic, large white boar with blue eyes.

Around the size of a small elephant.

## History

### Background

Kiyomaro is a divine beast of the Otherworld.

He can be summoned by a ritual at the first day of the new year, and slaying him is supposed to grant great fortune. However, failing to do so results in a curse, in which he will transform into a beast that destroys its surroundings. The ritual, called the "Rite of the Auspicious Beast" is considered forbidden, because the danger it creates is too great, just to get a wish granted.

The boar has been summoned in the past, when Inage Natsu was much younger but caused great misfortune.

### Timeline RPGX

As year **2082** came to an end and **2083** began, Fuuma Kotaro awoke in another world, in which the ritual had been performed. Kiyomaro appeared before him, and switched bodies, before Kotaro knew what was going on he was already attacked by other Taimanin. Kotaro was saved by Igawa Asagi (ZERO) (tho maybe not the same as the ZERO Universe, very similar around one year after the events of TAZ). Asagi, learned from Inage Natsu, that Kiyomaro had been summoned in the past before, and he had performed substitute magic. Asagi believed the words of Kotaro, that he was a transformed human. Kotaro appeared confused that Asagi was around 10 years younger, but both decided to search for Kiyomaro and defeat him, so Kotaro could return to his old body and the curse aspect could be avoided.

On their way, they encountered with an alternative Felicia, which had also heard about the Kiyomaro hunt, but after a battle with Asagi, her phone rang and the person on the other side (Edwin Black) confirmed he had free time to join her at a winter festival. Happy, Felicia allowed both to go without much issue. Kotaro and Asagi, reached later Gosha and fought against Sanada Homura, which just thought that the pig Kotaro looked delicious. After, Homura was convinced that Kotaro was just a scapegoat decoy, she helped the group in their pursued of the real boar, in Tokyo Kingdom.

They, furthermore, had an encounter with that world's Koukawa Asuka. Asagi wished not to elaborate, but both had a bad relationship. Escaping the people, trying to take down the boar for wishes and luck, they found Kiyomaro disguised as a human.

The disguised Kiyomaro, which resembled Kotaro, had tried to flirt with a woman but only was slapped in the face before the two confronted him in a building. Kiyomaro agreed to a dual, and transformed himself and Kotaro back to their old selves. However, Kiyomaro was too large for the building and was for the most part stuck. Kotaro and Asagi, slayed the god, which granted Kotaro a wish to return to his own world. However, while dying he stated he would return another time, as he wanted to see more of the human world.

Seen much later, with other gods like Bastet in an event.
