## Character History

Seiga Hoshino was born in 15th January, in Kyoto, Japan. And he was the first son of Satoru and Sayako. During his childhood, Seiga was only a simple boy who had a normal life and lives with a happy family. When Seiga was 3 years old, his little sister was born in 12th April. He and his father went to the Hospital to visit his mother and his baby sister. Overjoyed to meet his sister, he give her the name Seira, which is accepted by his parents.

When Seiga reaches the age of 6, he and his family went on a camping trip, but little did he know that a dangerous monster lived in the woods. When night falls, Seiga and his sister were asleep in the camping tent while Satoru heard a strange sound coming into the woods to see where the sound came from. To his horror, a monster devoured an innocent man before it spotted him hiding behind the bushes. Shocked, Satoru quickly went to warn his wife and children before the group was being chased by the Horror. Just as the Horror lunged at Seiga, who tripped over the group, Satoru stood in its way to protect his son and got devoured by the Horror, leaving Seiga and Sayako devastated at his death until a mysterious figure kidnapped Sayako and Seira and got dragged into the shadows.

Just as the Horror was ready to devour him, a trio of Makai Knights arrived at the woods, quickly killing the Horror that tried to kill the boy. While the Knights tries to comfort Seiga who cries at the loss of his family, one Knight Seto touches his head, and suddenly gets a strange vision where he foresees the future of an older Seiga pulling out the Garoken and transforming into Garo.

Despite the Makai rules of not involving normal people into their battle against the Horrors, Seto decided to bring the young boy into the Makai World and talked to Makai Priest Futoshi about his vision of Seiga's future. That's when Futoshi looked into Seto's vision and foresees the future again where Seiga becomes Garo. Futoshi fully comes to an realization that destiny has chosen Seiga to be the next Garo after the death of its previous user.

With Seiga destined to be new Garo, he receives special trainings from Seto who adopted him as his son. After years of hard working and training, he eventually reaches the age of 19 and became worthy of the title of Garo. Thus this was the beginning of his adventures...

## Personality

Despite being destined as the next Garo after the death of its previous owner, Seiga has a rather kind and friendly attitude, possessing a pure heart and shows compassion and loyalty to his friends and the ones who took care of him when he was a child. Since he was trained in the ways of a Makai Knight and fulfilled his destiny to become Garo, Seiga vows to protect humanity and cut down every Horrors that took lives of innocent people and their family. The young man has a value for family, a trait he inherited from his parents and used to experience the life of having a happy family until tragedy befell upon him. After finding his place in the Makai Order, he made a solemn vow to save humanity, along with its own family. Even though he gains respect from his fellow Knight due to his status as the Golden Knight, he is a humble young man when he tells Fuyumi and the others that there is no need to bow at him.

Despite his happier nature, he is so emotional and have self-doubts in making a mistake, stemming from the traumatic memory of his family's death at the hands of a Horror. He had been repeatedly getting nightmares of his family's loss, blaming himself for his father's murder. However, as times passed, he slowly coped with his family's loss and eventually overcomes his dark side when he realizes that his little sister is still alive.

Seiga has a strong belief of human lives and displays righteous rage whenever a Horror taunts the tragic loss of a human and dismiss life as "garbage", something that he does not strongly agree with. Seiga takes his duty as a Makai Knight seriously and seeks to protect the humans from everyone to make sure they will not suffer the same fate as his family.

Ironically, Seiga has a interest in stars and spaces, since his father was an Astrologist and that he and his sister named after a star. He always does stargazing when he is not hunting down Horrors, and he shares his interest with his partner Fuyumi.
