Kuniyoshi

Kuniyoshi was born from the mist of the great waterfall itself. Or so the legend goes among the fishers at the city's base. They say Kuniyoshi learned to read not from scrolls, but from the patterns of erosion on the stone stairs that climb to the main plaza. They studied the silent bargains struck over glistening nets, understanding that true power flowed from the depths. The fox-eared beanie is a mark of their pact with the river spirits, and the mask was woven from reeds and silence, meant not to hide a face but to contain a force. The fury in their eyes mirrors the relentless current, a power that sees through deception as water wears away stone. To this day, their lessons are still whispered on the wind that carries the spray.
