Appearance
Raikou is moderately tall, standing at 5'9", with a lithe, lean build, perfectly toned through endless hours of kenjutsu training. He has shoulder-length hair that when younger, was a soft honey-blond, same as his mother and sister. At fifteen, though, he could not bear the sight of his mother's mark on him so blatantly and dyed it the unusual shade of pink it is today. He prefers to keep the sides pulled back with one of his many protective charms, though the bangs are left free to frame his face. Raikou's eyes, a rich russet hue, tend to show his emotions all too well - despite the usually calm, tranquil facade he normally maintains. His dress, however, is the loudest aspect of Raikou...considering his questionable fashion sense. More often than not, he can be found wearing a pair of traditional zori and navy-blue hakama (over a pair of blue jeans) combined with a white sleeveless zipper-vest and navy-blue sweatshirt tied around his waist - topped off with a belt of protection charms to match the charm he wears to hold his hair back. There is a tattoo of the Crew's Jolly Rodger surrounded by flames above his wrist, stretching up along his right forearm to near his elbow, directly below the black and silver armband circling his upper arm. The left forearm is always covered with a black arm sock, tied in place with pink and green ribbons, where he tends to keep two to three small knives stored. His only nod to colder weather is usually a long sleeve black tee-shirt worn under the zipper-vest. Drago Bianco, the white katana of the Kazuma clan, remains tucked securely on his right hip.﻿
