Yamato

Riku has long, dark hair adorned with silver accessories and tied partially up. His sharp red eyes contrast against his pale skin. He wears dark, intricately patterned robes, layered beneath a white fur-trimmed cloak suited for the cold. Silver jewelry hangs from his ears, adding to his refined yet mysterious look. His expression is calm, with a piercing gaze that reflects his sharp intellect. Riku’s appearance blends elegance and strength, fitting for a skilled Yokai-Hunter from the snowy village of Aisetsu.

Riku embodies a calm, analytical demeanor. He approaches challenges with a strategic mind, preferring to outthink his opponents rather than relying on brute force. His neutrality is evident in his actions; he helps others when it aligns with his values but avoids unnecessary conflict. Despite his tendency to appear aloof or lazy, he is deeply committed to his duties and has a sharp, perceptive nature that makes him both a reliable ally and a formidable adversary.

Born in Aisetsu, the sole Yurei village in the snowbound Yukigakure, Riku was immersed in the harsh, beautiful world of eternal winter. Raised amidst the Yurei, he learned the art of Yokai hunting from a young age, honing his skills in the cold and treacherous environment. His upbringing in a place where survival depended on both wit and strength shaped him into a formidable hunter. He now traverses Yukigakure, balancing his role as a protector with his deep connection to his village's traditions. He currently supports Chie and Kainu in investigating the sudden disappearence of their old leader at Frostbound Lake.
