Kagehisa Anotsu

Kagehisa Anotsu is the leader of the Itto-ryu and an equal to Manji. This emotionally cold young man possesses prodigious sword skills and leads the Itto-ryu to create a dojo that focuses not on forms and rules, but on the simple test of superior lethality. Despite his harsh upbringing, he shows a degree of humanity by allowing Rin to live after she attacks him. His primary weapon is a Nepalese-based axe named Kabutsuchi, alongside a rarely used sword of the same name.
