Kageyuki

Kageyuki (影雪, Kageyuki) is the main antagonist of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: The Battle of Unato. Originally, the erstwhile lord of Unato Station who lived peacefully alongside his young daughter Miyuki.

Five years ago, during the Battle of Unato, Kageyuki defended his station against the Kabane where he was bitten, although instead of succumbing to the virus, he miraculously turned into a Kabaneri. He was surrounded by the Bushi who believed he had become a Kabane and prepared to shoot him, only for Miyuki to be mistakenly killed. Enraged, Kageyuki brutally slaughtered the remaining soldiers.

Unable to cope with the loss of his daughter, Kageyuki bit her in order to preserve her life. This resulted in Miyuki transforming into a Nue, formed around Unato castle, which he then dedicated the rest of his life towards protecting.
