Kumasaburou

The most dangerous fire hazard in The Great Panda City never asked for the title. Kumasaburou’s only ambition was to trim cherry blossoms, a quiet life among the bamboo-lined streets. That ended the day they found a warm, pulsing ember buried where no fire should be. One curious touch, and now a powerful sneeze could incinerate a teahouse. They sought a cure, poring over forbidden scrolls until they found the teachings followed by Itan-sha—texts that called their affliction a divine gift. Kumasaburou disagrees, especially after singeing another haori. The guiding lanterns on their back are less for illumination and more of a public safety warning. They only fight because it is hard to make friends when you breathe flames.
