Personality

He is good natured, respectful, and friendly teenager. He is extremely devoted to Team Kuu, as his primary motivation for fighting is to prove that his team is not a low level group of thugs and assassins, but fighters who seek pure strength for the sake of strength. Despite being such a powerful fighter at his age, Saicho dislikes causing his enemies in battle unnecessary harm, and tried to avoid pointless bloodshed. He is friends with Kukai's daughter Misora.

Abilities

Saicho is an incredible martial artist who was capable of fighting on even terms with Recca, and even wounding him in close combat. However, Saicho's true power lies in his madogu, Shikigami, which allows him to control paper. By using incantations, Saicho was able to create several kinds of attacks using the Shikigami such as:

• Paper Crane - Saichō creates an origami crane that can fly towards an enemy and then explode.
• Fuyo Sword - A technique that allows Saichō to transform a spiral of paper into a strong katana. The katana, although made of paper, cannot be damaged because of how much of his aura is imbedded in the paper.
• Cyclone Paper Dance - A technique that uses swirling paper strips to wrap around an object. Or in case of the next attack, people.
• Kamienbu - A variation of the Cyclone Paper Dance that wraps a person up like a mummy.
• Nuno Zarashin - A technique that creates large spirals of paper which generate a strong enough wind to deflect nearly any projectile.
• Thousand Cranes - Misora, Kukai's daughter, made Saichō a thousand origami cranes before he left for Ura Butō Satsujin III. Each crane can fly of its own accord and is as strong as several of his normal ones, capable of taking off the roof of the arena of the Ura Butō Satsujin. Saichō planned on using this as his final attack, putting all of his life force into it.
• Rokka Sen - A technique where Saichō folds up 6 differently shaped origami pieces and flinging them at his foe, where they then embed themselves. Each of the six is named after a famous Japanese philosopher.
