[b]Occupation:[/b]Heir of the Sasaki/Scholar

[b]Notable Skills:[/b] [b]Enhanced Senses[/b]: As a Neko, Tarou has enhanced senses, just like a cat.  Unfortunately he is still young, so his senses are quite unskilled compared to older Neko.  However, luckily, his are more sensitive than a human beings.

[b]Swordplay[/b]: As the son and heir of the Clan, Tarou is expected to learn the ways of the sword, so that when he rules, he may uphold his authority.  The fighting style of the Sasaki Clan mainly consists of fast and precise movements, with the sword held with two hands.  Aside from this, the Clan's ruling family is taught how to disarm with their sword, if the situation calls for it.  He still learns to this day, mainly because he still has MUCH to learn.

[b]Magical Abilities:[/b] NA
[indent][b]Familiars:[/b] [b]Summoning - Neko sen'nin[/b]: The Royal Family can summon the Neko sen'nin, a small cat with human-like clothing on it.  Although the cat has NO combat experience, it is mainly used for advisement and information.[/indent]

[b]Ki Techniques/powers:[/b] [b]Feather Weight[/b]: It's used for general purposes, outside of combat, mainly because it requires a lot of concentration to use.  It's most helpful for reaching the top of large buildings and key locations, but can also be used to increase speed, if need be.

[b]Weapons:[/b] Sasaki Clan Katana - A regular katana, with a bit more durability than most.  The only special thing about this blade is that it is the Sasaki Clan's most treasured blade and it's creative design on the hilt and cover.

[b]Other Gear:[/b] Just some books and painting kits.

[b]Personality:[/b] Young, brave, and a yearning to learn, Tarou is the ideal heir to a clans leader.  Of course, he is not without arrogance, considering he has much to learn in his young age.  Perhaps the most notable thing of Tarou's personality is his dedication to not only to the Shima Clan, but to his honor as well.

[b]Brief history:[/b] Born under the Head of the Sasaki Clan, Tarou was raised to become the next Daimyo.  At a very young age, Tarou took a liking to Fine Arts and books, wanting to take a more scholarly approach to life.  Although this was accepted, he was still expected to learn the Way of the Sword, and he did so for many years of his teenage life.  Growing up was very strange for Tarou, mainly because he did not understand the Sasaki Clans devotion to the Shima Clan.  Of course, this would change over time, as he became devoted to the Shima Clan, just as much as others in the Sasaki had.  As life continued, Tarou would eventually grow to the age of twenty-three, ready to take the throne and title of Daimyo.  Of course, the Shima Clan would lose their relics and call aid in order to regain their lost artifacts.  Tarou, seeing this as an opportunity to bring his Clan honor and recognition, would offer himself to go on this quest.  With his fathers blessing and the family sword in hand, Tarou would leave at once to the neighboring Shima Clan, ready to take his first leap into adventure...
