Biography

Part 1: Born into a family steeped in military tradition, Tsuchiya Bunji was groomed from a young age for a life of service and obedience. His father, a decorated officer himself, instilled in him a deep sense of patriotism and a belief in Japanese superiority. Stories of his ancestors' wartime exploits filled his childhood, shaping his worldview and cementing his destiny. He excelled in his military training, displaying a natural aptitude for strategy, swordsmanship, and leadership. Part 2: Stationed in Keijō as a Major, Bunji views his role as one of subjugation and control. He sees the rebellious Chosenjins as a threat to Japanese order and views their resistance as an annoyance to be crushed. He justifies his brutality as a necessary evil, a way to maintain peace and stability. His ruthlessness earns him the moniker "Chosenjin Slayer," a title whispered with a mix of fear and grudging respect by both the Japanese and the Joseon people.

Legends of Tsuchiya Bunji

• Legend of the Chosenjin Slayer: At a nursing home, a photo of Tsuchiya Bunji was shown to a semi-comatose Korean man. The man’s vacant eyes suddenly flickered with recognition and terror. He began frantically shouting, “Ittohei-dono-san! Wakarimashita! Wakarimashita!” (“Private First Class, sir! Understood! Understood!”)
• When a subordinate questioned why he, a high-ranking officer, always led from the front and sought out dangerous battlefronts, he replied, "Only those who have experienced it truly understand the hardship. Without knowing suffering, one can never truly appreciate gratitude. It's a necessary endeavor for a man like me."
• Legend of Black Lightning, his beloved steed: Whenever he unsheathed his sword with lightning speed, mounted atop his jet-black horse, Chosen rebels would scatter and collapse, blood spraying through the air. However, even as he mercilessly cut down men charging with bamboo spears, women desperately fleeing with their backs turned, and elderly scrambling with their canes, his expression remained unchanged. Witnessing this cold detachment, the Chosenjin felt a chill grip their hearts, convinced that if a demon existed, it would bear the same countenance as this man. From that day forward, the Chosenjin, who once cursed and hurled stones at the Japanese soldiers behind their backs, now bowed their heads in fear whenever the soldiers passed, praying for a swift and uneventful departure. Observing this, the Japanese soldiers, though awed by their superior's power, couldn't help but recall the cold indifference in his eyes as he strolled through the aftermath of the Chosenjin massacre, his black steed crunching on the severed topknot of a Chosen corpse, its eyes glowing red. They shuddered, grateful that he wasn't their enemy.
