On top of this, his arsenal of skills is constantly growing with every fight.

Hyugo Kazama is from the rukon district where his father ran a small fabric stall. It brought home enough money for the Hyugo family to live comfortably on, if not richly, and thus they were happy. Kazama was the third child of six, and thus was left alone for the most part which was fine with him. He would bury his nose in a book or puzzle a few feet away from where the other children were playing, and wait for the sun to set. His siblings and the other children in the neigborhood loved bringing him puzzles and challenging him to solve them, always asking for his desert if he failed. He never did, thus gaining the attention of some of the adults in the area. Puzzles came, were solved, and left, Kazama's father always making sure things never got out of hand. Almost as impressive as his puzzle solving abilities were his skills with a sword. The neighborhood children often gathered wooden swords and held mock wars, one of the few times Kazama ever put down his books and puzzles and played with others. Every time his side came out victorious, thus it was no surprise when he was sent to the shinigami academy. Again he did well there and could often be found having debates with the instructors about various matters, testing their knowledge with his. But he disliked all of the necessary social activities, and disliked the team building excercises more, and thus strove for a position he thought would grant him the solitude and quiet he desired. Upon his graduation from the Shinigami academy he immediatly began working towards the coveted rank of captain.

Attaining the position of captain placed before Kazama a challenge unlike any he had yet faced. He was skilled in both swordplay and kido with an impressive mind, however his dislike of social activity alienated him from most of his squad quickly, many of them getting the wrong idea about him when he declined to go out with them, his fellow squad mates thinking it a matter of snobbishness rather than discomfort. Thus he found himself granted more and more of the alone time he enjoyed so much. Only one squad member was not alienated by his standoffish behavior, a young woman Named Hinata. She herself was a shy quiet girl and understood Kazama's reluctance to join in social activities. She could often be heard defending him when other squad members spoke ill of him, and Kazama grew to respect her for her courage and understanding. Shortly the two became close friends and Hinata became one of the few people Kazama ever called friend. However it was a short lived friendship. During a routine mission to the spirit world to investigate reports of hollow sightings, a mission Kazama, Hinata, and a few others had volunteered for, things went horribly wrong. The hollow's launched an ambush for the shinigami in a coordinated, planned attack unlike anything the small band of soul reapers had ever seen. In the end only Kazama and two other shinigami made it back to the seretei, all wounded, with Kazama trying to go back for Hinata, who had held the Hollow's back so the others could escape.

When Kazama was finally concious again, after having been sedated to heal him, he had continued insisting on going back, alone if neccessary, to save Hinata and the others, he learned of the fate of the rest of his team. Shortly after being brought back, the squad eleven captain and a few of his officers had gone back to try saving the others. They returned with only bodies, reporting the Hollow's gone. The two others had also survived and were recovering however. Kazama was devestated though, believing Hinata's death to be his own fault, a result of his own weakness and inability to protect her and others.

To prevent any further weakness, to save others from falling due to his own weakness, Kazama began a rigorous training routine, pushing himself harder and harder everyday to the point of collapsing alone on te training field. He would lay there some nights, to exhausted to move, and it was during those times he found himself communing with his zanpaktou. He would remain there in the dust, communing with his zanpaktou, his soul, until his captain would come out and order him to stop. In this way Kazama came to learn his Zanpaktou's name, and its power, and before long he was able to put that power to use.

Again Kazama was sent to the human world with another squad of volunteers, again to investigate reports of hollow's. And again they were ambushed in a disturbing display of coordination. This time however Kazama was more prepared and released his Shikai for the first time before others. With his new Shikai the group of Shinigami were quickly winning against the Hollow's. But again victory eluded Kazama. During combat a foe found their way behind him, a powerful one. He still doesnt know who this being is, or what they look like. A hand erupted from hi chest and darkness consumed him. When he awoke he was in the fourt squad barracks. He was the only survivor of the small group that had gone to the human world and had been found barely alive by the squad eleven officers who had one looking for them.

Again Kazama felt this was his fault, because of his own weakness. He was shortly after promoted to an officers seat, but it was hollow to him, meaning nothing. Again he undertook rigorous training, pushing himself in both swordsmanship and kido training, even going as far as to go to other officers and captains to ask them to train him. Through this training his skills improved in Kido, Swordsmanship, healing techniques, tactics, and any other things, quickly moving him up through the ranks. But it was still not enough for him. He realized that he still wasnt strong enough to protect others, to overcome his weakness, and so looked within for strength. He has grown stronger continually and has attained the rank of fourth seat in the thirteenth squad.

When the red meteor appeared in the sky, Kazama was put in charge of a small group of shinigami sent to investigate it.


(this is a peice from Kazama's time in the academy, a sparring match. Kazama has just insulted an older student, unintentionally, by proving his superior intellect. The student, from here forth known as Bob, fearing being embarassed infront of his friends, challenges the younger student to a duel in the practice dojo, refereed by one of the schools instructors. This is that duel)

Kazama stood patiently at one end of the dueling mat, his hand resting comfortably on the handle of the wooden sword tucked into his belt, watching his opponent to be with half lidded eyes as the older student strutted around the mat like a peacock in season, assuring all that he would teach this arrogant boy a lesson. Kazama was far from impressed. Finally Bob turned towards Kazama, an arrogant grin on his face. He hadnt shaved this morning, Kazama noticed. "So you little punk? Ready to get beaten?" he asked, placing his practice sword before him in a classic two handed stance. A classic, and a basic. "I have no intention of being beaten today." kazama said, drawing his own wooden sword from his sash and holding it out before him in one hand, the other hand hooking into the sash by the thumb and hanging there. The two held their positions for a moment before Bob, young, headstrong, and overly confident, charged foward, lifting his weapon high for an over head chop at his opponent, coming in with a loud battle cry. Kazama held his ground, waiting patiently until Bob began his downward swing. At that time Kazama shifted his feet, first his left on in the back, planting it, then using it to drag his right foot along. A very simple movement, done quickly, and Bob went tumbling past, wondering where his opponent had gone, a second before he felt a sharp crack on the back of his head.

The older student tumbled fowar, seeing stars, and rolled to his feet, coming up with his swor infront of him. Kazama was quick to press the attack however, charging in, his left arm pumping furiously as he delivered blow after blow to his opponents defenses, slowly driving Bob back. Suddenly Kazama drew his arm back, his wooden swors point aimed at Bob's belly. The older student, thinking he saw an opening, quickly swung his sword. Kazama smirked, using the grip on his sash that he ha maintained throughout the battle, to tear his sash off of his waist and snapping it up, wrapping the cloth around his foes wrist and then locking his own arm out, halting bob's sword three inches from his head, as the tip of his own wooden practice sword plunged in, driving the wind from Bob.

Kazama slowly stepped back, tieing his sash back on. "The match is mine. It was a pleasent duel however." he said, bowing to his foe before walking out, leaveing the older student to the mercy of his mocking classmates.
