Biography:
His birthplace unknown Fujimaru was found after a local fisherman found him floating on the wreckage of a ship long lost at sea at the age of 3. With no memories of his past life, and no way to find out where exactly he came from he was taken in by a local blacksmith who used to be a samurai warrior in Kyoto. His adopted father gave him his last name Kozuki, and named him Fujimaru since he had no name of his own. Though the boy knew not of what was to come ahead in life he did his best to learn, and help his new family. He faced some hardship as some disliked his foreign roots though he knew nothing of where he came from he grew up in Japanese culture, and learned the same as they did. The only thing truly different about him was eyes, and skin for all intents and purposes his father made sure he learned all he could to fit in well. It was not a secret that his father only took him in due to his own son dying of illness not five years ago. Left without a proper successor the blacksmith trained his son both in the art of forging metal but also in his sword technique in case he must ever need to serve in combat. Growing up was hard, and difficulties came often but Fujimaru never truly gave into the hardships he wanted to prove that he could fight as well as any warrior.
He was not natural talent, and often he failed especially at archery. However after adopting a new radical technique of using twin blades instead of the traditional two he managed to feel more comfortable. Repeated training, and drilling by his father, and his friends allowed him to eventually master the sword technique, and his black smithing became adequate. Eventually Fujimaru made his way to the military when his father wanted him to test his metal against true opponents. Initially nothing more than a ronin of little renown he bested a known bandit, and managed to hold his own against proper samurai earning himself a spot in the Roshigami. The leader saw potential in the young man and allowed him a spot in their ranks thinking to throw him away if he proved himself worthless.
He served with ability until the disbandment of the Roshigami into the Shinsengumi. With the reformation he vowed to serve the Emperor, and the Shinsengumi's leaders as well as a he could. His capabilities forcibly promoted him to Captain as new members swelled the ranks. With their role as a police force coming to fruition they needed new leaders, and very few met the requirements to match the role of Captain. Given the role simply out of nessessity Fujimaru seeks to fight to the end.
Fighting Style: Fujimaru's fighting style is deceptively simple. His twin blades allow him to unleash a flurry of attacks all at once. Simple movements such as a block, or a strike allow him to feint, or to follow through with another attack. He prefers an offensive flurry complimented with a defense oriented towards the offensive side as well. While he presses he could swiftly counter, and press the advantage into a deadly swift stab. Though poor in archery he does also successfully use single swords be it the Nodachi, or the Kodachi as they were his father's preferred weapons. Though he generally uses his two katana blades he can act like a proper samurai if the situation happens. His skills with the Shinsengumi-Kenjutsu aren't a joke either a capable user of the techniques used in it including the Gatotsu which pales in comparison to fellow captain Hajime Saito's.
Preferred Weapon(s): His twin katana blades however a nodachi is preferable in open combat.
