Characters in Forest Covered: Kuroko Tetsuya,punchpass
( CHARACTER INFORMATION )
Name/Work Name: Shigure
Canon: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Canon Point: after the TYL arc.
AU/CRAU: none
Age:15/16
History: http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Takeshi_Yamamoto
Personality: Yamamoto is introduced as a typically cheerful, popular guy. He's very easy-going and nice to Tsuna even when everyone else was mean to him, and has a reputation around his school of Namamori of being friendly and charismatic. A lot of the girls in school find him attractive and even Tsuna says he's cool and popular. And he does give off that vibe, pretty much always smiling.
That's a lot because Yamamoto loves making friends, even out of cranky people like Gokudera. He's not easily discouraged by being pushed away with rudeness and basically attempts to kill everyone around him with kindness. If you need a favor, he'll probably gladly give you one, unless you put off a bad vibe. Because of this, he's easily able to make friends with Tsuna and join in on his mafia, hanging out with the group from that time forward.
However, he's incredibly naive about things, and that's putting it nicely. Pretty much from Reborn's initiation to the Vongola on, Yamamoto has a strange ability to wrap his head around all the crazy weaponry and enemies being thrown at him by not actually acknowledging them. He thinks Reborns rockets and bullets are realistic toys, Gokudera's dynamite are fireworks, and that somehow Tsuna/Reborn/someone has convinced a bunch of foreigners are playing the same mafia role playing game. He's not doing this to be malicious, however-he enjoys games and competitions and puts his whole heart into the thing anyway-he just doesn't exactly see what everyone else sees.
That pretty much means its hard to get anything to startle him or throw him off, because he somehow manages to wrap his head around everything-unless his friends are threatened. He's shown that he can get serious when he knows his life is on the line and when others are-like during the battle with Squalo for the battle of the Vongola Rings-and even sacrificing his arm to beat one of Mukuro's lackeys in the arc before that. He's pretty visibly upset when any of the other guardians get injured, and in the Ten Years later arc, he jumped to shield a couple of kids without even questioning why he was in the future. He loves his friends and family a lot and will do anything to protect them.
Bringing it back to sacrificing his arm, its unusual for him because of his deep rooted love for baseball. It's what he wants to do with his life and he loves it almost too much-he even tries to kill himself in the beginning of the manga because he broke his arm practicing, but thankfully Tsuna saves him. Baseball as a sport is very important to him, to the point where he doesn't want to get himself injured again by protecting himself during his matches. He sacrifices his arm in one battle, though he later brushes it off saying it wasn't deep enough for concern.
Squalo later gets him on this because of the Ten Years Later arc, the point in Yamamoto's life where he really has to choose between baseball and the sword-aka his normal life, or the strange world he's been thrust into. He's been losing his swordfights because of his lack of commitment to either way and it's been a conflict that Yamamoto has been struggling with for awhile, not telling anyone else. He's not exactly the best at expressing himself, but his mentor is there to finally tell him to get it together, and overcoming his weakness, at the point where this Yamamoto comes from, he finally inherits the sword. It adds onto the significance because Yamamoto inherits it from his father, the only person he thinks is truly invincible.
You can see his deep seated admiration for the Shigure-soen-ryu style in the way despite Dino's warning, he still uses the sword style to fight Squalo, who is the destroyer of styles. Just because his father said it was 'completely unparalleled, flawless, and invincible'. Along the road he basically came to revere the sword as much as his baseball, though even to this day. Both of them define him as a person and his skill-set-he even incorporates baseball into his sword style, confusing and angering Squalo.
Yamamoto has a huge competitive vibe, only natural for a sports playing teenager, and if someone dares him to do something, he'll pretty much usually do it, and take it seriously as well. This is often seen when he's butting heads with Gokudera, as the storm guardian likes to goad him into passing as hard as he can when he's holding something.
Besides, despite being an idiot about a lot of things, he's 'born to be a natural hitman' as reborn describes him. He's atheletic, nothing bothers him, and he's harder to catch off guard than most. He's also incredibly loyal to his rain guardian position and is always there to help his family in need, no matter what it takes.
Debt: Guess who is easily strong-armed into helping his friends? This guy. All the Witch had to do was tell him that his friendGokudera Taka was here and working off a debt for him to leap at the chance to stay at this strange resort where the guy managed to get himself into trouble again!
And more secretly, he wishes to be strong enough so the future he saw in Ten Years Later doesn't come to pass. So he can keep his friends, his dad, and his future safe.
Previous Game Info: n/a
Inventory:small about of school supplies and his uniform, gym bag, baseball uniform and glove, his bamboo sword Shigure Kintoki which turns into a real sword when he used the Shigure soen style of fighting. Also his vongola ring and two other rings that contain his box weapons transformed at the end of the ten year later arc.
Abilities: Shigure Soen Ryu The sword style that was passed down to him from his father. It's the 'best, most unparalled, invincible sword technique' that he learned and now uses in combination with his Shigure Kintoki. It has originally four offensive forms and four defensive forms, as well as a special ninth form made up by Yamamoto himself. Since then he's created two new forms and a special 'Aggregate art' which combines all the form into one.
Attacco di Squalo A special attack with Yamamoto's sword that allows him to strike an enemy hard enough to paralyze them for a few seconds. He improves this by adding his Rain flames to his sword.
Rain flames/Main Vongola Ring: Yamamoto has Dying Will flames of the Rain element, which has a 'tranquility' effect. Basically anything he touches with the flames will calm or slow down. He can even use the flames on the Vongola Ring to detect incoming flame attacks like a radar.
Vongola Animal Box weapons Yamamoto actually has two different animal box weapons: One of them is the Akita Inu named Jirou, who holds Yamamoto's three short swords for him made out of pure rain flames. Kojirou is a rain swallow, a little bird with the ability to emit rain flames and shower them on opponents-the bird is also seen used in conjunction with one of his Shigure Soen forms.
Cambio Forma: Ugetsu Asari's Four Irregular Swords This form is achieved with both animal boxes: when Kojirou fuses with Shigure Kintoki to create a new ornate longsword, and Jirou provides the other three swords. It is a four sword style, requiring use of all the blades-the short ones can be used for propulsion as well.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Strengths Yamamoto is very atheletic and can pick up almost any physical attack up quickly. He's pretty strong and quick, and has a very powerful throw thanks to his baseball training. Also is canonically good-looking and charismatic, and good at making friends with people and keeping the peace between arguing parties. He's ranked second strongest fighter in Namamori Junior High in terms of strength, and serves as the Vongola's Rain Guardian with all of the abilities listed above.
Weaknesses He. Is. Stupidly. Naive. Yamamoto spends pretty much a good portion of the manga thinking that its just a mafia role-playing game, and that the weapons are really realistic toys. He makes really weird leaps of logic to try and explain his surroundings to his own version of events. This basically skews his perception of danger-while knowing things are deadly or not, he often percieves it as a game and will go for it not knowing the actual danger behind events.
He's also kind of an idiot. He's pretty simple-minded, doesn't think in a lot of big words and often time doesn't know entirely what's going on around him. He's shown to be smart enough to figure basic schoolwork out with enough effort, but simply doesn't bother to because he cares about baseball way too much. Which again, leads him to not quite knowing what he's getting himself into all the time.
Also a big weakness of his sometimes is his obsession with baseball, as he's almost killed himself over it, thinking he couldn't keep playing with his injuries. Squalo told him on multiple times his love of the sport is just getting in the way of his swordsmanship, and while he's capable of doing both at his athletic level, his true power is always being held back by his love for the game and an almost unnatural devotion.
Also sometimes pretty bad at reading moods and is unconsciously irritating by the way he smiles all the time and is friendly even to his opponents. He's pretty nice to a fault too, and his sword mentor hates him for it. Also lets himself get distracted in the middle of battle easily by eagerly showing off his new weapons.
