(Flame of Recca) Character 5:
TOKIYA MIKAGAMI
Seventeen year-old Tokiya Mikagami is the oldest member of the Hokage Team. He is practically a loner--- one who is unlikely to be open to anyone although he still hangs around with his team.
During his childhood years, he had a sister who was killed protecting him from the culprits who attempted to steal a family heirloom of theirs--- which turned out to be one of the elemental weapons that the Hokage possessed 400 years ago, a broad sword named "Ensui." With the Ensui, Mikagami is able to control the element of the water as well as creating illusions. He is quick with the sword and agile in movement, not to mention very calm whenever he fights.
Mikagami seems to have a little difficulty getting along with everyone in the team. He pretty much thinks highly of himself over Recca, Domon, and Fuuko, and in addition, he has a tendency to take Yanagi away from Recca (because his late sister has a resemblance to Yanagi). He appears for the first time in the story when Kage Houshi (the mysterious immortal woman) told a story to him about Recca's "tendency" towards Fuuko's Fuujin, which made Mikagami believe that Recca is also after his Ensui and maybe the possible killer for his late sister. He and Recca fought as the result, yet Recca wins the battle. Mikagami then changes his mind about his accusation about Recca because he did not kill him at the end.
