Kizuna Kazayama

"I’m Kizuna Kazayama, and I’m one of the four holy heroes—the Hunting Hero, to be exact."

- Kizuna

She is one of the Four Holy Heroes summoned to the Glass's world. She is a Hunting Hero to be precise and a best friend of Glass.

Personality
Like All other hero, she too is a otaku. She too mistaken the world to be a game at first and came to realize the truth a little later. She completely disapproved the idea of killing the other world holy heroes for their own world survival and believes that the heroes are needed for some other reason.

Appearance
She appears to be Japanese with black hair, wears a western Gothic dress with Japanese Cloak on top. As a Hero, her weapon is always attached to her, normally taking the form of a fishing rod which is folded and carried on her waist. At times of need, it can transform into a Maguro bōchō (Large Japanese Fish Knife) to be used as weapon.

Restriction
Can not be used to directly harm Humans. As Hunting tools are used on monsters. Some skills will effect humans but normal attacks will not.

Holy Weapon Skills

 * Thrust attack: Releases a shockwave-like blade of wind by thrusting the weapon forwards.


 * Break Down: Scale Removal: A skill that helps tearing apart scales from monsters such as dragons or fish or removing fur from furred beasts. It also deals a lot of damage, slicing them with innumerable arcing blades.


 * Flying sparrow: An energy attack similar to Air strike javelin.


 * Blood Flower Strike: An attack that connects all the weak points on an enemy and cuts through them. But it's just a very deep cut if it doesn't kill the enemy.


 * Lure Needle: The area the Lure strikes on an enemy takes double the damage on the next attack (preformed by anyone on that point). If it hits a weak point this can cause fatal damage and can effect non monster enemies. But has a short duration and can be countered.


 * Invisible Hunter: Renders the user or the users party invisible they can't be seen unless magic is used and any sound made can only be heard by party members.


 * Form One: Pit Fall: Creates a pit of about a meter or so deep. This effect the ground as such can be used on non monsters.

Background
Like the other heroes, Kizuna is is from an alternate Japan. Not a gamer, she entered a VR Healing MMO called Second Life and (along with her Sister(s)) was sent to the world that Glass is from. There, she was on a quest to defeat the dragon emperor of that world. During her adventure, she met Glass, who was sent to that same quest to prove herself worthy of the Fan of the vassal weapons. They quickly developed a strong friendship and kizuna was given her cloak by Glass which she treasures. Along with Glass they created a shikigami named Chris that resembles a penguin (named because it was Christmas when they preformed the ritual). At some point she was captured (due to her weapons limitation of only being able to directly harm monsters) and thrown into a Labyrinth dimension which she could not escape spending several years trying to get out until Naofumi and Rishia were pulled in by Kyo's Trap as they traveled in pursuit of Kyo.

Summary
With the use of the Bio plant to cause more mass in a small space to exist than the world would normally allow a small room in the structure to hold they where thrown out into the Second world (home world of Glass and her fellow heroes). They managed to escape using the Dragon Hourglasses of this worlds teleport function to get to the country Kizuna was allied with and with the help of Enthobalt, the boat vassal weapon holder, they located Raphtalia and Glass using the shikigami Chris and Naofumi's new shikigami, Raph-chan. Along the way they luckily found Filo who had been captured and put into a sideshow and managed to find and save Raphtalia, Glass, L'arc and Therese from the attacks of a man they had run into during the escape from the country that had imprisoned her, who was nick named Trash #2, by Naofumi, Battling the White tiger spirit beast copies she used a skill to max out the damage on their weak points along with Trash #2, allowing them to defeat them, with Trash #2 dying due to his own idiocy and refusal to listen to their warnings. After which they returned to the country which was revealed to be L'arc, him being the King and she berated her friends for going to attack and try and kill the heroes in the world Naofumi had been in because of a legend that may or may not be true, and getting together to have a welcome back party for her and preparing for their next mission of finding Kyo and getting the spirit Tortoise's Collected energy back before Kyo does something dangerous with it.
