Physical Description:

Kiwara is a small boy, but strong nonetheless from living and working on a farm. He has short brown hair, usually messy, and dark green eyes. His clothes typically consist of blue denim overalls on top of a red t-shirt, and big brown boots. He is 4'10 tall and weighs 85 lbs. 

Personality:

He is good in alignment and wants to save the world. He switches between acting very seriously and very childishly. When serious, he is completely goal driven, provided that the task in front of him is one that he has interest in. When acting childish, he likes to pull pranks on others, or sulks if his feelings are hurt. He is young and his imagination wanders when he is disinterested. 

Background History:

Kiwara's father owns a farm in a small rural area of Japan. Kiwara worked on the farm for most of his life to help support the family. There is a stream of water that runs near the field where Kiwara likes to go fishing. One day he was fishing when a large fish took the bait and pulled the rod from his hands. Kiwara dove in an attempt to catch the rod. Instead he hit his head on a rock and fell unconscious. When he awoke, he was soaking wet and half in the stream. He began to climb out when he saw a salamander in front of him. The salamander opened it's mouth and said "Kiwara, I have chosen you to assist me. There is a dark force coming from distant galaxies to destroy the Earth. You and I will become the guardians of Earth! You and I must train to build up our powers against the dark force. You will become a mighty warrior, I a mighty dragon." When he told his parents what he had seen and heard, they did not believe him. He tried to show them the salamander, but they could not see it in his hands. Kiwara was sent into the fields to work as a punishment for lying to his parents and wasting time that should have been spent working in the first place. The salamander told Kiwara that he would only appear to others when the time was right. He also needed Kiwara to grow a special herb that, while lethal to humans, was excellent food for growing from a salamander into a dragon. Kiwara decided the best way to train was to leave his home and join YUME where he could best hone his fighting skills.
