[b]Personality:[/b] 
Saito is a quiet, reserved person, rarely speaking. This has helped him stay alive in his profession, as he is rarely noticed, and never remembered. Saito has trouble concentrating on more then one person at a time, and is very bad at recognizing faces. He rarely speaks to strangers, and is very blunt. Saito is seen as rude, and inconsiderate by other assassins, but most just accept that the unsocial parts of him come with the business he's in. Saito has never fully unsheathed Soyokaze, as he believes it's power is too great to be held by a mortal such as himself. He knows all too well its power of corruption.
[b]Background:[/b] 
Saito was born into a wealthy family, with two older brothers (Juzo and Utamara respectively), and a younger sister (Emiko). At the age of 7, after a large dispute over the throne, the younger of Saito's two brothers, Utamara killed himself. The family was in shock for a while, and although the family never fully recovered, life moved on. When Saito was 11, Juzo raped Saito's younger sister, and after confessing to a priest, committed Seppuku, making Saito the eldest. Saito was 13 when his dad died, but instead of becoming the lead of the Takasu family, he abandoned his home, and began to train under a ninja who never revealed his name.

Saito mastered the art of the sword at the age of 15. Saito's sensei was assassinated near the end of Saito's training, which forced Saito to go into hiding. Eventually, he took on the surname Inoguchi to prevent his past from being discovered, and to keep his family from finding out his new profession. 

At the age of 16, Saito was assigned the mission to kill the head of the Takasu family, his sister Emiko. She was seen as a disgrace for becoming the head of the family, and not immedietly marrying herself off. Saito accepted the mission, but upon arriving at his old home, instead of killing Emiko, he explained the situation, and fled with her. In an unexpected turn of events, Emiko revealed to Saito that she had obtained the cursed sword Soyokaze after becoming the head of the family, and attempted to kill Saito. He fought back, and successfully killed her, barely escaping with his own life. Afterwards, Saito went into isolation to mourn the death of his sister, before finally going back into his life of being an assassin. Saito has never actually used the cursed sword.

Saito was tracked down by Yasushi after he made an attempt on the emperor's life. After having him arrested, Yasushi discovered that the boy was in possession of Soyokaze, and it appeared that he was able to draw the sword. With this in mind, he brought Saito back to the capitol to assist with the emperor's quest. Saito seemed quite dissmissive of the thought that he might end up working for the prey he had hunted, but eventually conceded at the promise that he would be kept alive. Saito agreed to help the Emperor.
