Background
A Prince of Kuyou in the Land of the Calendar. He is of the Rabbit Family.
He is skilled at performing the sword dance with a pair of blades. He is a beautiful person with a great deal of charm, yet as he was raised in an environment where he was constantly competing with his siblings, he has a habit of speaking directly and using harsh words. He’s very wary and quick to anger, but he’s the foremost in his family when it comes to literary and military arts.
