!~ Personality ~! Takeshi Yamamoto is calm, cheerful, relaxed and is kind to people even though most of the time they ignore him. In Takeshi's past, he was not always known to be cheerful; in fact he was depressed and lonely. He didn't care much about anything and would just always sit out of the way of people, preferring loneliness to that of companionship, this was due to him being abused by his parents and also after he had killed his family. He kept his distance from people as he was afraid that he would do to them what he did to his family. His personality drastically changed after meeting someone who was to be the first person to acknowledge him.

!~ History ~! Takeshi was born in a small cottage on the outskirts of Amegakure. He lived there for up to 6 years before he ran away. His parents were abusive towards him but caring toward his older brother. Takeshi often felt like he wasn't apart of the Yamamoto family, preferring to go outside and spend the whole day and sometimes nights away from them. Even at the age of 3 he was very smart and knew when it was safe to return home or not. One of the things he is thankful for was the lessons that his parents gave to his older brother. They would always train his brother in Kenjutsu and Taijutsu and little 4 year old Takeshi, often learnt from a distance away. He learnt the basics of Kenjutsu and also some basic Taijutsu techniques.
One day, when he got home from a long walk, his brother accused him of stealing the family sword, Shigure Kintoki. Knowing full well that he didn’t, Takeshi received the biggest beating of his life. He was beaten so hard that he nearly died, however as he was beaten he could not forget the sneering, mocking face of his brother, enjoying the thrashing that was being dealt to his younger brother. Takeshi knew that it was in fact his older brother that had taken the sword. After they had beaten Takeshi to within an inch of death, they left him outside in the cold rain and locked him outside. As Takeshi lay on the muddy ground, curled up into a ball and crying his heart out, he suddenly got a crazy idea. Some kind of deep loathing and malice grew within him, disregarding the pain and the aching muscles, Takeshi walked in the rain to his brothers cave, a cave that he and his brother found but Takeshi's brother used it to hide things that he did not want his parents to find. Once he was in there, he found what he was looking for, the blade Shigure Kintoki, a family heirloom that had been passed down the Yamamoto family for generations upon generations. He took the blade from it's sheath and practiced a few strokes and imaginary parrying. Once he had gotten used to the weight, he left the cave and headed back to his house. Using a technique he had developed all on his own, he smashed through the front door of the cottage, causing splinters to fly every where. Shocked and confused, Takeshi's family could only see the outline of Takeshi through the dust and as it cleared they saw Takeshi holding Shigure Kintoki with a great loathing in his eyes. Without so much as blinking, Takeshi stepped forward and thrust the point of Shigure Kintoki into the body of his older brother, puncturing several vital organs and killing him instantly. As his brother crumpled to the ground and laying to rest in a steadily growing pool of his own blood, Takeshi's parents screamed and charged at Takeshi, who simply used yet another technique he had created to knock them backwards, away from him. The classic scenario of questions barraged Takeshi of why he was doing this, with Takeshi replying with the same question except about them beating him. He showed them no mercy while he killed them.
When Amegakure ninja went to check on the family, as the mother always went to the early morning markets, they found the cottage in ruins and Takeshi's family all dead in pools of their own blood. Takeshi had ran away after he had slaughtered his family. Running for days, resting only to catch his breath, he stumbled across the border that led to the Land of Iron, when he met a samurai, who took pity on him and took him in. This man was known as Zenryoku Kusunoki Masashige Kaito,a renowned samurai, known for his wisdom and kindness. Takeshi was eternally grateful and promised Zenryoku that he will protect him even if it meant losing his own life.
From that moment on, Takeshi was devoted to the way of the Samurai and devoted to Zenryoku. Meeting others like Miyamoto Musashi and Hattori Hanzo, finding stray animals to call pets, Kojirou a rare amegakure swallow and also Jirou, a mountain wolf cub. He became adept with using swords that on his 17th birthday he decided to have more. Having 5 blades made, each one representing a significant figure in his life. He cherished these blades as if they were the characters they were based off. He started to develop his own sword style along with the help of Zenryoku.
