Kaigaku Inadama
Kaigaku Muur Inadama (a.k.a. 獪岳, Kaigaku, The Dark Beast, The Forest Monster)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Kaigaku is a muscular young man of average height and pale skin tone who has short, spiky black hair, with two thick strands framing his face, and a pair of dull, cold turquoise eyes framed by thick, arched eyebrows. His facial expressions are often unfriendly, and he has a semi-permanent snarl.
He has four black flame-like markings on both sides of his cheeks, turquoise irises with black sclera, elongated canines resembling fangs, sickly pale skin, sharp blackened nails, and pointed ears.
Special abilities
Master Swordsman: Kaigaku is an extremely proficient swordsman with great skill in Thunder Breathing. His swordsmanship is different compared to most Monster Hunters as he places his sword sheath at his back rather than on either side of his waists. With his Blood Art, Kaigaku's swordsmanship is greatly enhanced and becomes even more dangerous.
Immense Speed & Reflexes: Kaigaku possesses tremendous movement speed and reflexes due to the Thunder Breathing swordsmanship style placing a heavy emphasis on swiftness and bursts of speed. Kaigaku is an extremely fast fighter.
Thunder Breathing (雷の呼吸 Kaminari no kokyū?): A Breathing Style Kaigaku learnt from a former Hashira, Jigoro Kuwajima. It is implied Kaigaku is quite talented in learning this Breathing Style. But despite this, Kaigaku is unable to learn the first and most fundamental form of Thunder Breathing, Thunderclap and Flash, despite being able to learn and master all other 5 techniques of this Breathing Style. Still, some people say that because of Kaigaku's inability to master the first form, the other 5 techniques he learnt wouldn't amount to much. After developing a Blood Art, Kaigaku's Thunder Breathing has manifested into reality as he can manipulate actual lightning and electricity, greatly improving the offensive power of this Breathing Style. Kaigaku even stated that he has "surpassed Thunder Breathing".
Electrokinesis: Complementing his Breathing Style, Thunder Breathing, Kaigaku's Blood Art grants him special electrokinetic abilities which allow him to generate and manipulate black colored lightning and electricity from his flesh and blood. This lightning-like Blood Art creates a special effect which cracks and rends his target's flesh while burning it, greatly augmenting the lethality and offensive capability of his attacks.
Kaigaku uses this Blood Art to great effect, utilizing lightning in conjunction with his Thunder Breathing techniques to enhance his attack range and speed. It is implied that this Blood Art helpes make up for Kaigaku's own inability to perform the most fundamental technique of the Thunder Breathing style, Thunderclap and Flash.
Second Form: Rice Spirit (弐ノ型 稲魂 Ni no kata: Inadama?): Kaigaku releases five arched slashes accompanied by lightning in quick succession.
Third Form: Thunder Swarm (参ノ型 聚蚊成雷 San no kata: Shūbun Seirai?): Kaigaku spins around and surrounds the enemy with waves of arched lightning and attacks them from all directions.
Fourth Form: Distant Thunder (肆ノ型 遠雷 Shi no kata: Enrai?): Kaigaku generates a ball of electricity that releases waves of strong multi-directional lightning bolts from afar.
Fifth Form: Heat Lightning (伍ノ型 熱界雷 Go no kata: Netsu Kairai?): Kaigaku unleashes long-ranged upward sword slashes which resemble thunderbolts, accompanied by his own lightning.
Sixth Form: Rumble and Flash (陸ノ型 電轟雷轟 Roku no kata: Dengō Raigō?): Kaigaku releases a series of powerful long-ranged lightning attacks that strike his opponent from afar. This technique is very difficult to avoid due to the multitude and range of lightning bolts.
Superhuman Stamina: Kaigaku' muscles produce considerably less fatigue toxins than the muscles of human beings. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several days before fatigue begins to impair him.
Super Agility: He can jump to another spot from far away.
Superhuman Strength: Kaigaku possesses superhuman strength much greater than that of any human.
Superhuman Speed: Kaigaku is capable of running and moving at speeds much faster than the finest human athlete.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Kaigaku is capable of repairing bodily injuries with superhuman levels of speed and efficiency.
Superhuman Durability: Kaigaku' body is highly resistant to physical injury. He is capable of withstanding great impact forces, temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
Megamorph: Kaigaku has the ability to transform his body into a variety of monstrous forms with unique abilities (such as a dragon form capable of flight and fire breathing). While in these forms he has enhanced strength, speed, stamina, and resistance to injury along with the special characteristics of each form. He was also shown to take on humanoid forms.
Apparel & Accessories
He is shown to be wearing his signature black kimono secured with a blue obi over an old Monster Hunter uniform that has yellow flame-like markings near the chest area. His forearms are seemingly wrapped in kyahan-like material. He also wears multiple necklaces on his neck and wrist with green colored strings that hold together blue magatama-like pendants that were yellow in color.
Specialized Equipment
Flesh Katana: Kaigaku carries around a modified version of the Nichirin katana he used when he was a Monster Hunter that is made from his flesh and blood. His katana isn't heavily distorted and is nearly identical to his original one, a choice made from his own pride. Kaigaku's flesh katana has black lightning patterns on both sides of his yellow tinted blade. It also has a golden handle wrapped in black cords, and endes with a golden kashira with white ribbons attached. Kaigaku's tsuba is circular shaped with four slight indentations, the center has a silver tone with small triangles and has a golden border. It is implied that his flesh blade facilitates the use of his Blood Art, as he can channel his blood through it when he unleashes his techniques. Unlike most swordsmen, Kaigaku places his sword sheath on his back instead of by his waist for an unknown reason.
