(Flame of Recca) Character 6:
KAORU KOGANEI
Thirteen year-old Kaoru Koganei is the last member to join Recca and others in their fight against the minions of Kougan Mori and Kurei. Even though he is youngest, Kaoru is a very skilled fighter for someone his age.
In the beginning of the series, Kaoru was a member of Kurei's personal group of warriors/assassins, the Uruha Clan. He always thought of Kurei as a brother. He was also trained and raised up by Kurei when he was in his childhood years, and was granted upon him was the flashy, golden elemental weapon called "Kougonanki." Kaoru represents the element of metal and his Kougonanki gives him a lot of advantages during battle--- as long as he knows how to use the weapon wisely.
Kauro, together with Nagai Mokuren, was the one who kidnapped Yanagi from Tatesako's house. During his involvement with his mentor Kurei and the Uruha warriors, he has been having doubts. After the end of his skirmish with Mikagami, the turning point occurs when he starts to doubt his involvement and his feelings towards the people he's with. He was also able to helped Ganko in bringing Tatesako in safe place during Recca's battle with Kurei in the latter's mansion.
When he witnessed how cruel Kurei was to Yagani, and what a liar he was, he decided to abandon the Uruha's team and he joined Recca's team to protect Yanagi.
