Osamu was born in the Land of Iron in Takayama Castle as the heir to the seat of leader of the Nagachika clan. He grew as a boy fond of fighting and learning the craft of was which had helped his clan prosper over the many centuries that they'd lived. As such, he devoted his entire life to the sword, training under the Senior Retainer of the castle, a man whose name he would never know but whose spirit would always haunt him for his immense skill with the sword. It wasn't long before Osamu was a revered man of the sword. A samurai through and through, he engaged in combat for his clan whenever he was asked and before he turned twenty-four and the man who'd trained him left the country, he would take over as Senior Retainer of his father's castle. He wouldn't hold the position for long, however. Leading the castle to war was his duty, and he enjoyed the battles he'd found himself in, but he soon came to be dissatisfied with the quality of fighters in the Land of Iron. He once again desired to cross blades with the man who'd trained him when he was a boy, and for this reason, he resigned from his position, much to his father's disapproval. The result of his disloyalty was banishment, not only from the castle, but also from the country. It is due to these events that Osamu traveled to the Ninja Countries so that he might search for the man of his youth. GENJI TOKI KANAMORI NAGACHIKA OSAMU Coming from the Land of Iron and more specifically the Kanamori Clan, Osamu understands the bond that exists between men who claim blood oaths and call themselves clans. He is weary of any and all men outside of his clan's bonds and in this regard, is very quiet around new people. Since traveling to the ninja countries, he has displayed a fair amount of disdain for the alliances that have formed between clans, knowing from his own experience that such alliances are typically just guises so one clan can gain an upper-hand on the other. As former senior retainer of Takayama Castle, Osamu is a militant. He led armies before leaving the castle and as a result has respect for war veterans and those whose skills align with killing and damaging others. Osamu was born of a high pedigree, tracing his genealogy back to one of the greatest clans to ever stand in the Land of Iron. However, he is disgusted with those that would claim power by virtue of their pedigree. He instead, enjoys those who come from nothing and build themselves up into legends. As such, he sees himself a collector of fine things and seeks out young people who have notable potential so that he can have a part in molding them. Osamu is a fan of swords, and collects swords crafted by famous smiths. He likes savory and spicy food and even carries around a small flask of hot sauce on his person. He finds most sweets to be overly so and therefore refuses to eat most of them. His favorite drink is awamori. Aside from these things, Osamu is also an avid fan of tea and studies many methods of tea making throughout the world. |
