Kaze

A serious and disciplined ninja from Hoshido. Has a twin brother, Saizo. Popular with women.

Kaze and his older twin brother, Saizo, are members of a ninja clan from Igasato that has proudly served the Hoshidan royal family for several generations. Trained from a young age, Kaze became an exemplary ninja. Some time in their past, their father, Saizo the Fourth, was killed by Kotaro in an unexplained incident. His older brother became the new head of their clan, taking up the name Saizo. While Saizo was more vindictive in seeking retribution on his father's assailant, Kaze was more coolheaded. Still, Kaze pledged to support his brother to help him take down their father's killer.

When he was little, Kaze accompanied Sumeragi and his subordinates during the trip to Nohr. One night, he spotted several suspicious Nohrian soldiers. However, he did not know what they were going to do and did not report the incident. Consequently, Sumeragi was killed and Corrin was kidnapped. Since that night, he felt that if he reported them, he might have prevented the tragedy. As a result, he promised himself not to pledge loyalty until he serves Corrin, and swore to protect Corrin to repent for his mistake. Kaze believes Mikoto may have foreseen her child's return and arranged things so that Kaze could fulfill this pledge.

Kaze and Rinkah were captured by Nohrian soldiers. Alongside a few other Hoshido soldiers, they are brought before King Garon in order to test Corrin's loyalty to Nohr by executing them. He is surprised to hear Corrin's name but focuses on the battle first. After a harsh battle, Kaze and Rinkah are gravely wounded, but Corrin chooses to spare them. Garon does not approve and immediately demands Corrin execute them, but thanks to a deception by Leo, the two barely survive. After recovering, Xander tells the two to leave Nohr immediately before Garon finds out.

After Lilith returns Corrin back to the Bottomless Canyon, they are knocked out by Rinkah, who mistakenly believes they are a random Nohrian soldier. After they regain their senses, Rinkah realizes that they are also of Hoshidan descent. Kaze appears, telling them of their true origins and brings them to Castle Shirasagi, where they are reunited with their birth mother, Queen Mikoto. On the way, he, Rinkah and Corrin help Ryoma lead a rescue effort to save Sakura and Hinoka from being killed by a group of Faceless.

Returning to Castle Shirasagi, Kaze accompanies Corrin as they are guided through Shirasagi Castle Town. Suddenly, a mysterious hooded figure appears and uses Corrin's Ganglari to induce a large explosion, killing numerous Hoshidans as well as Queen Mikoto. Corrin degenerates into their dragon form and Kaze helps to repel invisible enemies and the mysterious hooded man. With the death of the queen, the barrier protecting Hoshido from Nohrian conflict dissipates. At the Plains of Hoshido, the Nohrian and Hoshidan armies meet and Corrin has to make a choice on which side to join.

Unlike his more passionate, hot-blooded older twin brother, Kaze is much more cool-headed. No matter the situation, heremains unfazed and calm, even in the face of danger or against some of the more abrasive members of the army. He is hard to faze and can even handle some of the more wily members of the army, such as his immunity to Charlotte's flirting and being able to maintain a calm disposition against Selena's snark.

Kaze is also known to be deeply loyal to the people whom he respects. This is best evidenced through his relationship with Corrin, where, as a result of admiring their vision to reign peace upon the continent, he swears fealty to them and becomes their retainer.

Kaze is very popular with women. He often receives gifts from them, a fact that is usually a reciprocal gesture as a means to repay the favors that he performs for them. His popularity with women stems from his demeanor of politeness and benevolence, although he is blissfully unaware of the charms that he possesses. This lack of awareness over his charisma could be entirely attributed to Kaze's inclination to be humble; through his Private Quarters lines, it is revealed that he thinks rather poorly of himself, asserting that he is not very attractive and that he and his twin brother lack any resemblance. Kaze's display of humility over his personal attractions in turn lends credence to his bewildered obliviousness over his popularity with women.

He is the most well-liked member in the army, as he is gentle and considerate of people whenever helping others, such as aiding Sakura find a doll but not mocking her for having it, but can also be rather lighthearted and even teasing at times, such as poking fun at Rinkah lying over wanting sweets.

Appearance: Kaze has light skin. His hair is a vivid green, medium-length and layered, with loose strands framing the sides of his face and a longer section swept toward his chest. His eyes are a soft green that matches his hair, narrow and calm. A deep magenta scarf wraps around his neck and shoulders, its long ends trailing behind him. His clothing is a mix of greens, browns, and purples. He wears a dark green sleeveless top with lighter green panels, secured by a fitted maroon chest harness with silver buckles. His arms are covered in black sleeves beneath protective bracers, the bracers reinforced with brown plating and tied with pale rope. A large tan guard plate hangs from his belt on his left hip, its rounded shape secured with metal studs. His trousers are loose, dark, and tucked into mismatched shin guards—one purple, one black—each bound with rope and paired with open-toed dark sandals. On his hands, he wears a black glove with a blade coming out of the bracers.

Kaze uses shurikens. They are called Kaze's Needle.

He is an infantry unit. He is currently a member of the Order of Heroes.

There are four unit types: Armored, Cavalry, Flying, Infantry.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units.

Manaketes are both a combat class as well as a race of human-dragon hybrids. Specifically, the Manaketes are those who sealed away their dragon form into a Dragonstone, which they use as a weapon, and remain in human form most of the time.
