Biography:Born to a bladesmith in Okumura, Mitsuo lived a relatively peaceful life. Aside from teaching him the family business of forging weapons, his father taught him and his brothers how to use them in combat. Mitsuo became well versed in fighting with swords, while his brother favored lances. As he grew older, Mitsuo became more and more involved in the family business, creating weapons for the armies of the shogun. While on a trip to purchase ore from foreign traders, his father allowed two men into the family home. These men were former guards, now hunted by order of the shogun for uncovering secrets they were never to know. When the soldiers sent by the shogun found them, Mitsuo's father refused to hand them over, resulting in his death. Using his own blade, they ran him through, and burned his home, along with Mitsuo's brother. When Mitsuo returned, he saw nothing but ruin. He attempted to retrieve his father's blade from his burnt corpse, before being spotted by a soldier. Refusing to comply with the demands of the soldiers, he was captured. His fate was decided, he was to be pinned to a raft with his father's blade, and set adrift. Either he would die of blood loss, or the ice-cold barrier would claim his life.
Additional Information:Originally, his hair was black, though, for reasons that will be shown later, it has become white.
