Juumei Kuga

Juumei Kuga 久我 重明（くが じゅうめい）

Juumei is a practitioner of Hagio-ryuu, an ancient Japanese martial art. His body is completely black from head to toe. He's described as an iron man and is also known as "the hidden weapon". Juumei is the only character in the series that is capable of fighting evenly with Hikoroku Hashiba. However unlike Hikoroku, Juumei will not pull his punches no matter whom he is fighting and will aim for the body's vital points and attack a fallen opponent without hesitation. Juumei is targeting Hikoroku who defeated both his master Oiyama Hagio and his older brother Ikichi. However it isn't through ill will, but rather his desire for a strong opponent. Juumei himself claims, "If Hikoroku hadn't defeated my master I would have done it myself.” For the time being Juumei is acting as Reiji Shimura's teacher, but uses outlandish forms of mental training. "Keep hitting that tree with your bare fists until they Bleed!!" "Kill your dog with your own hands!!" "poke that woman in front of me!!"
