Information

Kashima Ouka (カシマ・桜花) is a member and captain of the Takemikazuchi Familia.

Appearance[]

Ouka is a tall, lightly tanned male with a tough build. He has black hair and eyes, wearing a lavender, red, gold and black Kamishimo top along with brown pants tucked underneath long white bandages in black boots. His armor consists simply of matching colored lower arm guards, often accompanied by his weapon, a doubled ended spear.

Personality[]

Ouka is a strong and respected member of his Familia. Being the leader, he often decides the course of action for his Familia members during dungeon trips. He is capable of instructing his companions and making harsh decisions in desperate situations. Despite his attitude towards others, he shows deep care for his Familia due to them knowing each other from when they were children.

Ouka is also headstrong and unafraid to express his thoughts to others, believing that he made the right decision in doing a Pass Parade. However, he is just as willing to sacrifice himself in order to protect his friends, shown when he decided to protect Bell from the Black Goliath since he didn't want to be a man who was all talk.

Ouka is a serious person who always talks in a calm and firm manner. Nonetheless, in stark contrast with it, he is also quite perverted and agrees with Hermes' belief that peeping on women is a man's romance. He displays some serious passion towards the topic and has expressed a liking for slender girls with a not so lewd appearance, such as Tiona. Ouka is naive as he is oblivious to Chigusa's feelings for him.

Although he and Welf have had a rather unfriendly relation ever since they met they also share some similarities; namely, they are passionate about perverted stuff and have the same favorite food.

History[]

Ouka originates from a village in the Far East which was attacked by bandits, leaving him as the lone survivor after the bandits' onslaught. He was eventually found by Takemikazuchi and became the first child to reside in his mountain shrine. Soon he was joined by Mikoto and Chigusa along with other orphaned children and they became family.

Ouka, Mikoto, and Chigusa eventually came around the Sanjouno Mansion where they first met Sanjouno Haruhime. Haruhime made a request to her father to send plenty amounts of food to the shrine they lived in. After that, Ouka and the rest started to sneak Haruhime out of her mansion at night to play with her. Though they were eventually caught, damaging relations between Haruhime's father and the shrine, they continued pursuing their nightly fun regardless.

Two years ago he and the rest of the Takemikazuchi Familia arrived to Orario in order to earn money to help support the shrine.

Abilities[]

Martial Artist: Having been trained by Takemikazuchi, Ouka masters multiple fighting styles as well as knowing plenty of different techniques.

He also excels in the use of various weapons, although he often chooses to use axes and sometimes shields to protect others. In battle, he plays his role as a member of the vanguard. In addition to that, he is skilled in teamwork, fighting efficiently along with his other teammates.

Equipment[]

Kougou (皇剛): Kougou is an order made battleax forged by Welf. It is made from a high quality mineral from the lower floors known as Valmarth, which he received from Hephaestus as homework and as a gift. Despite receiving the materials for free, Welf charged Ouka 700,000 valis for it after discounts. It’s second-tier quality gives Level 2 Ouka enough power to kill the monsters in Water City, where adventurers are recommended to be Level 3.

Trivia[]

  • Ouka's surname, Kashima, may be based on the name of a shrine dedicated to the worship of the Shinto deity Takemikazuchi.
