Harai Kuko

He is an apprentice monk at Kugen Temple, and is skilled at delivering unique sermons. He is striving to become a full-fledged monk under his father Shakku. His rough and lawless behavior keeps him from getting beyond the realm of an apprentice, but he has a strong conviction for his own sense of justice. Although he has always followed his own path, he realized that he lacked the qualities to lead people as a monk, and resolved to train further. In order to show the path he believes in, he believes that it is necessary to end the conflict itself.
