CURRENT CHARACTERS: Professor Hershel Layton | professorgent
CHARACTER INFORMATIONSERIES: Katanagatari
NAME: Soda Emonzaemon
RACE: Human
AGE: Unknown; it's likely that he's around his early to mid twenties.
CANON POINT: After Episode 12; [spoiler] After being killed by Shichika.

TvTropes: Emonzaemon Character Tropes
GENDER: Male; both physically and mentally.
APPEARANCE: Here is a picture; he's the one on the left.
At a tall 6'1'', the slender Emonzaemon is a stately figure in a black coat, white short with a high collar, and long black pants. His coat is decorated with small, purple pom-poms and his shoes are a dressy style with a green flap and pointed heels.
PERSONALITY & HOUSE REQUESTS:
Emonzaemon is a cool, collected character. He has a reserved manner about him, hardly ever raising his voice, but his blunt and sometimes cruel statements make sure he is heard. He is observant, as a ninja should be. He can read a person well and will often point out details to others.
The most obvious facet to Emonzaemon is his utter devotion to Princess Hitei. She was the woman who gave him back his 'soul' wen he considered himself nothing more than a dead man. As such, his whole life is dedicated to the duties she assigns him. If Princess Hitei asks him to jump, he'll be mid-air before he asks how high. He places great importance at fulfilling a task; he lives and dies for others and their goals, never for himself.
The efficiency to which Emonzaemon applies his duties show him to be an adept, intelligent man. He thinks just as his princess does: one step ahead. He is also ruthless when the situation calls for it. If something stands between Emonzaemon and his goals, he won't hesitate to get rid of what or whoever that obstacle is. This is made abundantly clear through his murder of Maniwa Pengin. He shows no remorse to killing. In fact, if his slasher smiles are anything to go by, Emonzaemon greatly enjoys fighting. He approaches every situation, including duels, with a logical, almost detached air. But, if things do not go his way, his metaphorical mask does slip slightly, but he never resorts to fully panicking.
Emonzaemon's life as a ninja is evident even in the way he talks to others. Unless he has direct matters with whoever he is speaking with, Emonzaemon prefers to hide away from view, either in the shadows or in an unseen perch. He always has a weapon on him, and several hidden ones to boot. He can read political matters just as well as Princess Hitiei. And, he considers himself ultimately disposable. Ninjas are tools for conquering and acquiring, nothing more. Since his face had ben taken from him and the Aioi Corps destroyed, Emonzaemon hardly regards himself as a person. In fact, "Soda Emonzaemon" isn't even his real name. He abandoned his real name the day he 'died'.
However, Emonzaemon wasn't always the distant person he is now. He used to be a friend of Maniwa Houou and knew him well enough to even exchange Nipou techniques with him. That was, until he stole his face.
If anyone can earn his trust, a difficult task indeed, they will find Emonzaemon to be a driven individual who will do all in his power to help that person.
House Requests:
Hufflepuff: Hufflepuff will find no other more loyal than Emonzaemon. He died for his Princess and doesn't regret doing so. He is also a hardworker; it does not matter what obstacle or trials lay in his path, if Emonzaemon has been given a task, it will be done. He pratically lives to work as the right-hand man to Hitei.
Slytherin:
COMMUTER DETAILS: Tapped;
POSITION: Student; Fifth-Year
ABILITIES & POWERS:
In the world of Katanagatari, Ninja all have special, unique techniques. For the Maniwa, they have Nipou. For the wiped-out Aioi Corps, they had Kempou.
As the last surviving member of the Aioi Corps, Emonzaemon is the sole person still practicing Aioi Kempou. His distinct ability is Shinobazukō Ikasazukorosazu (or Namagoroshi); it is an ability that lets him cut through anything. He can also incorporate this ability into his Deviant Blade, Ento Jyuu (which is a pair of guns).
As for physical ability, Emonzaemon is an adept swordfighter, but he usually prefers not to fight with swords. He is an incredible marksman. It does not matter how fast a character is going, Emonzaemon will hit them. He has experience with throwing knives and can perform very covert surveillance.
WAND:
Wood Type: Cedar - [Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. My father, Gervaise Ollivander, used always to say, ‘you will never fool the cedar carrier,’ and I agree: the cedar wand finds its perfect home where there is perspicacity and perception. I would go further than my father, however, in saying that I have never yet met the owner of a cedar wand whom I would care to cross, especially if harm is done to those of whom they are fond. The witch or wizard who is well-matched with cedar carries the potential to be a frightening adversary, which often comes as a shock to those who have thoughtlessly challenged them.]
Cedar would be the perfect match for Emonzaemon. A man of incredible loyalty, there is strength in his unflappable character and also a highly perceptive ninja that the wand could bond with. As an adversary, he is unparalleled; each battle, Emonzaemon takes seriously and with all his strength. Should anyone be foolish enough to harm Princess Hitei or anyone whom he has become fond of, there wouldn't be enough fury in Hell to deter Emonzaemon from making that person pay.
Wand Core: Original : Ento Jyuu
The interior of Emonzaemon's wand would contain the essence of the Deviant Blade he wielded back in Japan, Ento Jyuu. This core would be incredibly similiar to Unicorn Hair in it's faithfulness to the owner and consistency. The core also gives an enhanced accuracy to casted spells, and is very susceptible to turning to Dark Arts.
Wand Flexibility: Inflexible, mirroring his absolute obedience to Princess Hitei and his tendency to be unwavering in whatever task he sets his mind to.
Strengths: Charms, Dueling Spells
Weaknesses: Potions
