Mother Fumika: Presumed Dead

Method of speech:
Fierce and quick to the point. You can hear his anger in his voice.

Becoming Part of SoDT:
When he was deemed ready by Taketoshi he was formally inducted. Though he had to prove his worth by slaughtering the local town guards. He did so and is now second in command to his father.

Summary:
From the time he could swing a sword Taketoshi was training Kurokawa in the ways of the blade. This was no friendly father son bonding either. It was rough harsh training with only one goal; to turn Kurokawa into a master killer. To show absolutely no mercy and to expect the same. To kill all deemed enemies. To let none escape and to take none prisoner. In fact the scars upon Kurokawa's face were given to him by his own father.

Kurokawa was raised to kill, plain ad simple. He fears nothing and is feared by many. The only swordsman in The Seven of Dark Tomorrow that can match his precision with a blade is the man that taught him, his mentor, father and most of all.... enemy! Kurokawa wants control of SODT, but until he can kill his father in a duel he shall be second in command.

Becoming Part of SoDT:
He came into The Seven of Dark Tomorrow when he attacked Taketoshi because he feared Taketoshi was coming to defile his temple and altar, but Taketoshi was simply passing through on a journey.

Anyway, The fight raged on for a while and Aemoh even un-robed, but was still defeated by Taketoshi. Taketoshi spared him at one request, that Aemoh would become his servant. Aemoh agreed to this because he thought Taketoshi to be a man strong enough to defy his gods.

Summary:
He believes firmly in myths, superstitions and mysticism. That is the reasoning for the yellow lenses. He believes they represent him as an ancient demon and thus frightens his enemies.

He is a fearful opponent on the battlefield that and goes berserk if struck in the head. That to him is horrible voodoo. He does not take his robe off in a fight unless he deems his opponent worthy to fight him at full strength.

He values his mask because of the fact that it represents him as his gods champion and he believes it makes him immortal in some ways. If damaged and ruined he is worthless to his gods.

He is neither a hardcore murderer or a psychopath. He is simply a shamanistic man who kills to appease his god.

Taketoshi had an extremely important mission he needed to take care of. Urgent. Though SoDT only had six men and wasn't complete this task needed to be handled. So he decided to hire and he figured he'd best hire the best. So the Drifter it was.

After the mission was complete. The Drifter was paid and began to go on his way, but Taketoshi himself invited the Drifter to formally join and become part of SoDT. The Drifter accepted under one condition, "if we are to come across a man named Rudabaugh, he will die by my hands alone."
