Kagemaru Tara

Kagemaru Tara is one of the main protagonist of Azura Academy and is the host of the first Prodigal Child, Domagiato. Originally seen as a main antagonist, Kagemaru is a rival of Ikune's as they are both similar.

Background Information
Like Ikune, Kagemaru was born as one of the Prodigal Children. However, he was the first Prodigal Child, being gifted with the power of strength. Because of this, this made him slightly insane as a kid as he would use this to his advantage in competitions, events and fights. Throughout his career as a martial artist, he was so good and powerful, that he was never even touched, therefore winning all of his fights. His parents saw him as a monster but it was his father who treated him like one, banishing him from family events and whatnot. As his brother, Mano and his sister, Runei feared him, Kagemaru only had his mother that truly loved him. Because of everybody else's input on him, Kagemaru has turned completely insane, only carring for both himself and his mother. He would not hesitate to kill anyone, even his own family if he had to. Now in his academy, every student and sensei knows about his past and his demon and try their best to stay out of his way, fearing to be his next victim. Despite many protests and the consequences, Kagemaru takes it upon himself to kill anybody on his own free time from his school, as he desires blood (his demon requires blood to grow stronger).

Personality
Kagemaru is vain, mentally-ill, sadistic and extremely hostile towards just about anyone. Because of the lack of care and the mistreat that he recieved at a young age, he became insane and desired blood and blood even more, liking the taste and wanting to make his Prodigal Demon more powerful. Despite the lack of respect he shows for most people, he displayed a significant amount of respect for both Ikune and Suno as he saw them as his main competition throughout the tournament. As he did show some respect for them, he would still desire to kill them at all costs, no matter what.

Appearance
Kagemaru has red wild hair and green eyes. He also prefers to wear a black shirt, with black pants and black shoes. To top that off, he has a black coat/cloak around him how he usually is. For his final piece of equipment, he dubs a gourd, similar to Gaara's however in that gourd, is the power and control of his demon, Domagiato.

Jusakū Transformations
Due to being one of the Prodigal Children, Kagemaru can display a level of stength and skill that exceeds even top notch martial artists. As the first Prodigal Child, Kagemaru emitts a redish-black aura around him and is gifted with extraordinary amounts of power. Because he is the first Prodigal Child (which represents Power), he is physically the strongest character of the show. Kagemaru and his demon are connected and are able to get along seeing as they both have similar personalities. Kagemaru is able to just call up his demon for more power. Or if his gourd/tube has broken with even the smallest hole, all the liquid will eventually come rushing out. When it all comes out, then Kagemaru's demon takes complete control.

Taijutsu
Just at the age of 3, Kagemaru was successful at taijutsu. His skills were unmatched, even when his taijutsu was inferior to his opponents. Out of 100%, he was given 99.9%, surpassing everyone in his class as the second highest got 87.4%. He displays his talent and strengths in taijutsu during all of his fights, showing that he is fully capable of fighting.

Raw Martial Arts
In terms of raw martial arts, Kagemaru is the best at Heoshi Academy. Nobody in any grade was brave enough to fight him one-on-one. Anyone who did suffered as he would beat down on them quickly and finish them off with a Homing Blood Burial. He was so good, that he was beating down on the sensei's for their valuables no matter what and whether they liked it or not.

Ma-Fu-Ba!
Due to being feared by just about everyone in his academy, Kagemaru was anti-social and was unwilling to cooperate with others. In addition, he would refuse from doing things any other way but his way, therefore, Kagemaru and his older brother Mano would often get into small arguments with it stopping after Kagemaru threatens to kil him, which he will do.

...Kagemaru and his siblings were able to easily get past the beta tests to advance to the tournament portion.
