samejima ranmaru

Birthday: November 17th Blood Type: O Height: 5.7 ft Weight: 141 lbs Birthplace: Tokyo A kendo prodigy, nicknamed the "White Devil" of kendo. Kendo has always been a family tradition, and he has practiced it for a long time. He ranked at the top in every national competition he participated in, earning his title due to his speed and strength. However, up until middle school, he did not have many friends. All his time and energy were devoted to kendo. This changed when he met Kei, who immediately fell in love with him. Initially taken aback by Kei's straightforwardness and thoroughly annoyed and disgusted by him, Ranmaru was also impressed by Kei and his rusty kendo skills. He invited Kei back to his house to practice, and after practicing, they shared a kiss. Although Ranmaru did not admit it at first, the kiss left quite an impression on him. In high school, he became the captain of the kendo team. Kei and Ranmaru eventually confessed their feelings for each other and took their relationship to a physical level. However, during the kendo championships, Kei learned that his mother had died. Witnessing his lover's distress, Ranmaru vowed to always protect him. He kept this promise dramatically when a yakuza hitman tried to run over Kei with a car, and Ranmaru pushed him out of the way. The attack left Ranmaru paralyzed on his right side, believing he could never do kendo again. After extensive physical therapy with Kei by his side, he managed to regain movement in his limbs and regained hope for kendo. Ranmaru is shy about expressing his feelings but there is no denying he loves Kei. He has only said "I love you" to Kei once, but luckily Kei understands Ranmaru enough to know how he feels. Like Kei, Ranmaru wants nothing to do with the yakuza life that nearly killed him, although the yakuza life forces its way into Ranmaru's. Despite this, he takes kindly to Kai but tries to draw the line when it comes to the younger man's affections. He wants Kei and Kai to have a brotherly relationship without the strong animosity between them.
