Kazuki Kazama

Kazuki Kazama is a recurring character in the Samurai Shodown series. He first appeared as one of the main protagonists in Samurai Shodown IV. Kazuki is a member of the Kazama ninja clan, known for his impulsive nature and lack of the emotional restraint typical of other ninja characters. He often acts on instinct, ignoring the consequences of his actions until faced with them. He cares deeply for his siblings, particularly his younger sister Hazuki, whom he often dotes on. While respecting his older brother Sogetsu, he won't hesitate to fight him if necessary, valuing him just as much. Kazuki is insecure about Sogetsu's superior fighting skills and seeks to prove his own worth. He's known for his suicidal zeal in battle, not minding to die and treating each fight as his last, showing a fearlessness of defeat. He specializes in fire ninjutsu and wields a ninja sword called 'Suzaku.' In the 2019 Samurai Shodown, he is voiced by Masaki Masaki. Kazuki is one of the co-protagonists of Samurai Shodown IV, and his signature stages are the 'Bridge of Fear' and 'Mount Asama.'
