Kurusu Konochi

Kurusu (来栖, Kurusu) is a young Bushi who serves Yomogawa family as Ayame's personal bodyguard. He is usually sober and honest, and he maintains his honor as a Bushi.

Appearance
He wears a white grab with a three-tailed blue jacket covered with metal plates on his hands and shoulders. He was on blue boots with metal on the back. He has his indigo hair in a ponytail, and constantly sports a somber, serious countenance.

Personality
Kurusu takes his job extremely seriously, honoring his profession and social class to the extreme, always ready to put his life down for the commonfolk and his liege lord. However, he seems to remain close-minded due to the common fear toward the Kabane and the prevalent do-or-die attitude regarding the struggle against them, to the point of remaining distrustful of Mumei and Ikoma even after witnessing both their personal involvement in keeping the Koutetsujou and its passangers safe.

Abilities
Trained in steam arsenal use and swordplay, Kurusu seems to be highly proficient at both. Additionally, he has shown impressive feats of physical prowess, such as having quick enough reflexes to parry a lead ball thrown at lethal speeds by Mumei herself with just the barrel of his steam rifle.

Ayame
He has shown that he is very loyal to her.
