[edit] History

[edit] Samurai Shodown 4

Kazuki is a member of the Kazama ninja clan. However, learning his younger sister Hazuki was kidnapped by Amakusa, Kazuki decides to break his clan's rules, becomes a renegade ninja, and heads for the realm of Shimabara where evil resides.

His clan, however, does not tolerate traitors, and they send his brother Sogetsu Kazama in pursuit to retrieve him. The two rendezvous at the enigmatic "Dark castle"; There, Kazuki defeated Amakusa and was able to save his sister. Sougetsu, on the other hand, stayed behind to fight Zankuro. Kazuki and Hazuki have been on the run ever since.

[edit] Samurai Shodown 5

Kazuki and Hazauki continue on their days of travel, eventually learning of a powerful fire-demon named Enja. He proceeds to search for the demon, eventually encountering him. Enja is too powerful an opponent for Kazuki, however, and Hazuki saves his and Sogetsu's life by sealing the demons in each brother's respective weapons.

[edit] Samurai Shodown 64

Despite still being a renegade, Kazuki and his sister lead a carefree life. However, he soon catches word of a "mysterious puppeteer". He sets out to find the person, and along the way, once again meets with his brother. Together, they defeat the Gandara monstrosity.

[edit] Trivia

  • His name is translated from Japanese as "Fire Moon".
  • His "bust" form is him taken over by his weapon Suzaku, seen in Samurai Shodown 64, Warriors Rage and later in Samurai Shodown V, know as Enja.
  • He was found by the Kazama clan under a bridge as a baby.
  • Kazuki and his brother are nearly direct opposites of each other- Kazuki utilizes fire, while Sogetsu uses water-affinity attacks. This also corresponds to their personalities as well; Kazuki is very hot-headed and rash, while his older brother is calm and soft-spoken.
