Who Is Chihiro Rokuhira?
Chihiro Rokuhira is the protagonist of Kagurabachi, around whom the story revolves. He is the son of a renowned swordsmith who is known for crafting katana with magical powers. The plot of Kagurabachi revolves around Chihiro travelling around to retrieve his dead father’s stolen blade from a group of sorcerers named Hishaku.
Chihiro is quite the handsome young man; he adorns himself in a trench coat, under which he wears a black suit. His general stoic expression, along with his crimson-colored eyes, is what makes him a very appealing character. Chihiro also has a very distinct scar on his face, which he had received at a young age from the Hishaku when they had attacked his house.
Chihiro Rokuhira’s Abilities
Chihiro is capable of the first stage of spirit energy usage: he can use his spirit energy to strengthen his body, which gives him superhuman strength. He has also formed a contract with an enchanted blade, so he is capable of using sorcery. Chihiro is also extremely fast on his feet and can cut down the average foe before they even know it, which is also thanks to his spirit energy usage.
He is also extremely skilled with the sword, even though he wasn’t formally taught to fight with it. He also learns really fast from just receiving a demonstration and a bit of advice. As a result of this, he managed to learn the Iai White Purity Sword Style, which is notorious for being really hard to learn. This really proves that the man is actually a prodigy.

He is a sorcerer, and he, too, like Chihir,o took it upon himself to retrieve his friend’s enchanted blades from the Hishaku. He is quite an experienced fighter and was already way stronger than Chihiro at the beginning of the series.
Azami is another one of Togo Shiba’s old friends, who is also a huge benefactor to Chihiro. He provided Chihiro with assistance to track the men who had stolen his father’s enchanted blades. He also met various other people like Hinao and Char Kyonagi, who have aided him in his journey and also provided him with emotional support
