Kazuki grew up in a quiet village nestled deep within a mountainous region, where the wind was ever-present, and shadows danced in the twilight. His family owned a puppet theater, a tradition passed down for generations, where Kazuki learned the art of manipulating marionettes, growing skilled at controlling strings with precision.
However, his childhood took a dark turn when his family was caught in a conflict between heroes and villains. Their village was destroyed in a collateral battle, and both sides dismissed the destruction as "unavoidable."
Left as the sole survivor, Kazuki felt powerless and forgotten by the world of heroes that claimed to protect the innocent. His resentment deepened with time.
During this period, Kazuki's quirks emerged Phantom Marionette, a twisted reflection of his marionette skills, and Tempest Veil, born from the winds that constantly howled around his ruined home. He trained in secret, mastering both quirks with one goal in mind: tearing down the society that allowed such senseless destruction and creating a world where he holds the strings of fate.
Kazuki's villain persona seeks to control not just individuals, but the entire system, believing that true peace can only come through absolute control.
With his abilities, he manipulates people from the shadows and strikes from afar, all while plotting to take down the hero society, one string at a time.
This is the story of the Puppetmaster.
