Ryozu Azami

Ryozu Azami (a.k.a. The Wandering Tide)

“The sea does not forgive, but it does not hate either. In its silence, I learned to live again.” — Ryozu Azami

now can you do this one: The name Ryozu Azami echoes in taverns, fishing ports, and campfires as a tale of strength tempered by grief. Once a revered Kitsune warrior, his feats were unmatched — enemies scattered before him, and his name was spoken with awe and fear alike. He was unstoppable, a blazing storm of fang and flame. But his triumphs came at the cost of all he loved. His beloved wife fell, his companions perished, and the life he had fought to build crumbled into ash. Stricken by grief and haunted by memory, Ryozu made a choice that surprised all who knew him: he laid down his blade. Forsaking vengeance, he embraced a code of atonement. Casting aside his warrior’s garb, he took to the sea as a simple fisherman, mending nets instead of wielding steel. He remains in his human guise, a constant homage to those he lost, a reminder that his truest strength was not in his claws or magic, but in his will to endure. To fishermen and travelers, Ryozu is a living parable — of strength, of loss, of redemption. His story is passed from village to village, a reminder that even the fiercest warriors may one day seek the gentleness of waves over the roar of battle.
