Hisame Shizumaru is a young, amnesiac boy who doesn’t remember his real name and thus chose to take on the name of his sword. He was labeled a “demon child” ever since he was born, so he chooses to live and survive on his own. He travels to find a “demon” in order to figure out for himself what it means to be one.
Initially believed to be modeled after
Himura Kenshin of
Rurouni Kenshin, the creators have stated that Shizumaru’s visual model was actually
Kurama of
Yu Yu Hakusho.
Belated Happy New Year everyone! Life is still throwing a couple of curve balls on my way, but I wanted to start the year right with one of my favorite characters! I actually thought he was
Kenshin too when I first played
Samurai Shodown, but then again, wasn’t
Kenshin also modeled after
Kurama? At least, that’s what I heard?
I hope everyone is having a wonderful new year! Let’s have even more fun together, shall we?
