Kagerō

Kagerō, also known as Kage Hoshi in the beginning of the manga or Emma Kagehoshi in Filipino dub, is Recca's true mother. She obtained immortality when she sent Recca (and accidentally Kurei) to the future by using a forbidden spell during the battle between the Hokage and Nobunaga's army.

Appearance

In the past, Kagerō wore a kunoichi's uniform, and her black hair was longer, falling down to the middle of her back. However, after time, she cut it and it only fell below her shoulder. She also has two small moles under her bottom lip. Kagerō wears a black cloak, similar to Kurei, but with a white section above her breasts, as well as a gold wreath around her neck. She also wears a sphereical earring, with a smaller sphere under it. She also wears the Hokage symbol as a tattoo on the back of her right hand.

Personality

In the beginning of the series, Kagerō, under the pseudonym, Kage Hoshi portrayed herself as a cold, but cunning manipulator. However when her true intentions came out, it became quite clear she was little more than a mother who's suffered centuries of loneliness. She becomes something of a mentor to the team, putting in her wisdom where she can to guide everyone. She is quite knowledgeable about the madogu, and usually serves as the team's advisor. Even acting as herself when not using the Kage Hoshi persona, Kagerō can still be manipulative in order to succeed, as seen when she fooled both Domon and Kirito into thinking the data disk was real, when in reality it was a fake.

Part in the Story

Abilities

Because of her use of the Jikūryūri technique, Kagerō's body has been rendered immortal. She no longer ages, and damage to her body quickly heals, although she has only been seen recovering from knife wounds and impalement. Despite her body being immortal, Kagerō is not in any way immune to the pain of being attacked. Although she isn't seen fighting regularly, Kagerō is a fairly skilled kunoichi, as she was seen in battle at times during her youth. Kagerō is also capable of closing her mind, even when fighting, making mind reading useless against her.
She has an unnamed orb madogu which she can use to brainwash people, she used it on Fūko by placing it in Fūjin when she gave it to her.
Jikūryūri: A forbidden technique known to only a few of the Hokage. It creates a portal that allows the user to travel through time. But, it also traps the user within time themselves, making them immortal.
Eikai Gyoku/Shadow Ball: With this madogu, Kagerō can observe people from a distance (scrying), and travel through shadows. It shows things by either showing it in the ball itself or like a projector.
Shikigami: : She can use her hair as a weapon, as seen when she killed a monster with pins made of her hair. It is unknown where she obtained this madogu from, it is probably the same one she used in the flashbacks.
In the Oka's flashback, she is seen using Kaigetsu, a madogu that is a crescent moon-shaped sword that acts like a boomerang.
Hokishin: A weapon that resembles the Kuchibashi-Ō, initially used by Kirin. It is a claw attached to the user's arm that opens in the front and fires various types of projectiles, which is determined by orbs that are inserted on the side. Near the end of the series, Kagerō gets the Hōkishin after it was given to her by Kirin.
