Rōkuro Otonashi

"Right after I was born, Kwang Gae ordered a massacre of all beings with strange powers within the eastern lands... and the day after I was born, I was already chosen to die. Everyday, I lived in absolute fear. From childhood, to adulthood, I watched my friends disappear each day. My parents had sacrificed themselves to save me, and even then, I feared being discovered and killed. As I trembled in fear, I would think... life isn't something that should be taken from others. Fate had me born this way, It wasn't my choice. I should at least have the right to live and die freely. Whether it's humans or insects... or even us... it's the same. That's why I won't... kill anything."

- Rōkuro's refusal to kill others.

Rōkuro Otonashi (の音無六郎, Otonashi Roukuro), born with the name Rōkuro Asakura (朝倉六郎, Asakura Roukuro), was formerly one of the prominent Asakura Family members living in Kwang Gae. It wasn't until the ordered massacre of all beings that possess strange powers within Kwang Gae, that forced Rōkuro to abandon his surname and leave his home. He happened across Maison Nyuhana, and took up cooking for the inn's residents.
