Personality

Kotsuga is, at his core, a selfish and cowardly individual. He resorts to deception and theft to get what he wants without regard for others. However, he is not without his principles: he dislikes harming women and will avoid it if possible. Kotsuga is also a flirt, evidenced by his repeated advances on an uninterested Ann.

Because of events in his childhood, Kotsuga has lost his ability to trust in other people. He also developed a strong disdain for all Samurai, particularly those who teach. He distrusts Samurai who mentor and believes they will inevitably turn their backs on their students. He has adopted the belief that money is the only thing anyone can or should trust, which is why he is willing to serve anyone who can pay him.

History

Sanda is the son of Yoshitsune the Ship-Jumper, a legendary Samurai and head of the Shana Clan. Kotsuga was expected to one day become a Samurai and replace his father as clan head. However, his father discovered that he was unable to become a Samurai, as the odds of him surviving the seppuku ritual were too low for an attempt to be worth it.[1] Despite the low odds of survival, his father tried to force the issue by killing him with a ritual blade tied to a Locker Ball. Because he overheard his father telling his mother he wasn't compatible with a Locker Ball, he resisted his father. During the scuffle, his mother intervened and was hurt. After Sanda tackled him, Yoshitsune's student Benkei told him the woman died from the stab wound, which hurts Yoshitsune enough that he is forsaken by Fudo Myo-o and dies.

Now an orphan, Benkei chose to take him in and had him change his name to from Sanda to Kotsuga. The Samurai took him on as a student in the art of illegal money-making, and taught him to only connect to those willing to pay him. Benkei began sending him to find and lure powerful Samurai to him he could steal their Keys. During one such outing, he found an amnesiac Ryu wandering around, and decided to sell him to Benkei. Putting on the front of being a decent person, he convinced Ryu to travel with him, stealing from others while on his way back to his caretaker.
