Mayamato Hikaru

Hikaru's past is greatly shared with Saizō. Both having never known their parents, the two instantly bonded. Saizō was viewed largely in a parental way towards Hikaru, who looked up to him as a hero. He would never admit it though, and always pretended to be competitive with Saizō. Hikaru has finesse and dexterity in the blade unrivaled by any child of his age, this is why he carries more than a few swords on his personnel. Despite his young age, Hikaru carries a devil may care attitude towards life. Fighting to survive his life, he has been toughened by the war around him to become a great fighter.
His tongue is sharper than his sword, and more than once has mouthed off only to not follow up. His cowardice in one situation earned him the nickname 'Sheathe' by Saizō.
Equipment:
Hanryō [Companion]
This is a katana carried on Hikaru at all times. It is shown in the picture as the blade with the hilt wrapped in white bandages. It is the first of the two blades obtained, and is favored. It has no real special qualities, but is crafted of fine metal and is very resilient to damage.
Raivaru [Rival]
This is the second blade carried on Hikaru. Obtained from an enemy shinobi. Hikaru found his blade to be of moderate interest so he salvaged it, after the defeat. A fitting name was chosen, in accordance to his first sword. Again, no special qualities.
