♥ Many fail to realize that mathematics is the foundation of nearly all academics, and so I enjoy the study of such a fundamental force.
♥ As most mathematicians in the world, I am funded primarily through the generosity of shines. Without them, I would be unable to study my passion.
♥ Humans: the most impactful race on our planet and my main competition for knowledge.
♥ As humans innovate without the wisdom that other races' ages give them, I think knowledge and creativity should be the determinate factor in government.
♥ Some simply like cherry blossoms; however, I have studied the color pink in such detail that I think I appreciate the flower much more deeply.
㊬Dislikes㊬
✖ Though some call me a powerful combatant, I typically prefer sparing and mainly become a general when in need to alleviate bills due to lack of producing mathematical tablets.
✖ Orphanages typically have many problems in comparison of shines which can function similarly and with extra more spiritual features. Therefore, I prefer the latter.
✖ The need of some of romantic endeavors confuses me and seems more inconvenient than not. In that regards, the depiction of romance in art and such frightens me somewhat.
✖ There are many delectables, but the addiction of many to sweets seems odd. Perhaps my dislike stems from more sensitive taste buds, but we will never be certain.
✖ The presence of ninjas who forcibly alter our governmental structure is a thing which makes our country less stable, and I feel that diplomacy could solve most issues of state.
㊬Personality㊬
Often prancing around completely silly at times to being very serious when in discussion, some claim Kazu's odd personality is a social experiment testing others patience and mental aptitude. Although Kazu wishes such a statement to be true, in actuality Kazu is simply awkward in conversation due to him still being relatively young in regards to Kitsune. Furthermore, his work often exhausts him mentally, leaving him often simply want to be playful in his down time.
㊬Bio㊬
Always a sly fox, in his younger years Kazu bounced between one shrine and one temple in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Taisha and Neko Dera. While the first fell into the category of fox worship and denizens often fed Kazu out of respect, the latter area was more interesting as worship was not of Kazu's breed but instead of cats. At Neko Dera, the founder had attempted to get money for his cat, which unbeknownst to him was a female shapeshifter. Which such a capability, she loved foxes more than anyone as Kitsune had the same ability. Therefore, Kazu visited often as she adored him and presented him with many gifts.
Always hanging around such a being, Kazu himself began to age differently than his fellow foxes. Originally growing much larger, then walking on two legs, the transformation into a kitsune proceeded under his cat benefactor's eye. Overjoyed with such result, she brought him into the temple and started to feed him tons of food. Unfortunately, she forgot to transform into her cat form. With the monk coming home from a long period of begging for food to feed his cat, he came home to learn that his cat was actually a female in disguise. Outraged, he threw the shapeshifter and soon to be Kitsune out from the temple. Knowing the blame was his own, Kitsune drifted away from the cat as he caused such a divide.
After the event, although Kitsune, Kazu found himself mentally unable to transform his body like his fellow race. Feeling outcast from the society, he secretly spoke to many priest at Fushimi Inari Taisha and became disguised as a somewhat hairy orphan who liked wearing many layers of clothing. Spending his time here, Kazu started his studying along side other children and for the first time discovered mathematics. As if calling for him, he became entranced with the subject and found himself studying it more and more. Studying under the local mathematical reagent, Kazu also learned the history of mathematics at the shrine. Here, a human named Kazui Chihoo had created the academic regiment and since then the mathematics professors had always had some name that started with Kazu. As if fate itself had called Kazu, he studied harder and harder until his teacher, Kazue Kenji, passed away. Needing a full name to apply for the position, Kazu decided to create his name through a pun. With his first inspiration being the tale of Kazui Chihoo, whose family name contained a one, and his second inspiration being Kazue Kenji, whose name contained a two, Kazu decided to similarly number himself the third. Therefore, Kazu decided on the name Kazu San Ban, based on the word for three and the kanji for calulation sharing the sound "San," and allowing the first two kanji in his name reading "Japanese Mathematics" and the last two kanji in his name reading "Abacus." （和算盤）
Slowly accepting him despite the lack of human appearance, Kazu became called the "Kitsune Abacus" by his students who now have positions in all sorts of social positions across the nation. Although still unable to transform his appearance into something more acceptable, Kazu has finally been able to transform the interior of his body. Due to the presence of children who constantly want to fight and cause trouble, Kazu has utilized this skill not only to aid his intellectual pursuits, but also to help these students realize their dreams of becoming samurai. Though those students are much less numerous, some have had such great potential that Kazu himself has become much more skilled in fighting, and has earned the respect of some armies based on the quality of troop he crafts. In order to further this capability, Kazu went so far as to spend a large amount of his savings on his current weapons. Somewhat of a gimmick to experienced fighters, the extremely thin powerful blades are incredible tools of teaching focus and quick wit midst combat.
㊬ Combat Information ㊬
Fighting Style
To many, the defining characteristic of Kitsune is their ability to shape shift; however, many of the race fail to realize the possibilities of utilizing such techniques midst combat. Kazu realized this failure and has since developed his own style of constantly altering his muscles to have incredible speed, attack power, defensive might, and even more processing capabilities for his brain. Surpassing what people consider common, essentially Kazu moves his innate stat line around using his techniques to keep his style ever altering and rather unpredictable.

㊬Main Weapon㊬
「平面刀」："Plane Swords"
Forged from unbreakable steel from the spirit world, these two swords were hammered so much that they became incredibly thin. Appearing two dimensional, following their movements is incredibly difficult as they appear to flash out of existence whenever the blade is pointed directly at the enemy; however, intelligent enemies can simply learn the size of the katanas and simply watch Kazu's hand movements since the handles are normal in appearance.
Sub Weapon
「立体拳」："Three-Dimensional Fist"
As a joke off his primary weapons, Kazu has named his hand-to-hand combat "Three-Dimensional Fist" as his body lies in three-dimensions.
㊬Technique List㊬
1 ↔「足す」："Addition"
The defining technique for describing others, one cannot fully understand Kazu's capabilities without understanding "Addition." This technique allows Kazu to remove a variant amount of points from one of his stat lines (not including "Weapon Skill" or "Fighting Style") and place it in a temporary holding pool. Although that technique describes the general use, essentially Kazu is temporarily getting rid of some muscle structure so that he has more space to work with later.
[1 Post Cooldown]
2 ↔「引く」："Subtraction"
Although "Addition" led to a temporary holding pool for his stats, "Subtraction" removes said stats from the points and directly adds them back to his original statistics in a location of his choice. In essence -- by combining "Addition" with this technique -- "Subtraction" allows Kazu to freely redistribute his attack, defense, speed, intelligence, and stamina scores however he wishes, even surpassing the standard limit of 10. In terms of physically, this technique utilizes the space created by "Addition" to enhance another aspect of his body.
[1 Post Cooldown]
3 ↔「掛ける」："Multiplication"
A scary technique when optimized, this technique utilizes the pool of stat points to multiply one stat of Kazu by the number of stat points currently in his temporary pool created by his "Addition" technique (denoted by the integer x). Unfortunately, as this process stresses his muscles greatly and cannot be permanent, his stats automatically dump to the value used prior to this technique after a small amount of time. Additionally, the points in his temporary pool temporarily disappear for usage for the same duration as the techniques cooldown, making his capabilities much lower for some period of time based on how risky a "Multiplication" technique attempted.
[1 Post Duration]
[(x times x) Post Cooldown]
4 ↔「割る」："Division"
Utilizing excess energy in the body, this technique aims at reducing the cooldown of all current techniques by forcing the body to give himself energy. Let y denote the highest of Kazu's stat scores at the moment which is not "Fighting Style" or "Weapon Skill." This skill reduces the time all techniques that are on cooldown by this y.
[y Post Cooldown]
5 ↔「指数関数」："Exponential"
With tons of muscles moving around and reshaping, Kazu realized he can actually capitalize on this momentum to aid his next transformation. Let z denote the current number of skills on cooldown when this technique is used. The next technique with a bold value in it used will have said variable increase by z for all purposes, including cooldown calculations.
[z Post Cooldown]
6 ↔「三角関数」："Trigonometric Function"
As muscles for one task typically carry over to another task, Kazu discovered that he can simply use small transformations between each skill's muscles to aid in the other skills. This technique allows Kazu to pick any three stats (not including Weapon Skill or Fighting Style), and if a triangle can be made using the values as a side (i.e. if any choice of two of the stats adds up to a greater value than the other stat), Kazu can find a relationship between his current muscles and consider all the skills to be the highest stat among the three, denoted by π. In other words, if he had 9, 6, 11 as stats -- as a triangle can be formed with those sides since 9+6>11, 6+11>9, and 9+11>6 -- all of them would be considered 11. However, due to the fact that the muscles associated with one stat are being abused for another stat, while this technique is active the stats are locked and no other arithmetic techniques can be utilized with these stats (including "Division," which will not consider any of the three stats in its calculation of the largest stat). This makes the technique very dangerous as it often has a long duration, making him much more predictable and restricting Kazu's ability to use his other skills as his temporary pool cannot access more than half the stats in normally could.

㊬Ultimate Technique List㊬
1 ↔「暗算そろばん」："Mental Abacus"
Typically, one of the difficulties in utilizing Kazu's techniques is that it is very hard to visualize the result of changing the interior of his body. However, Kazu has realized that imagining an abacus in the air and remembering certain physical structures to be related to numbers to help his ability to quickly activate skills and utilize every capability of his body in an optimum way. In addition to reducing the post cooldown of all his techniques by one post while in use, this skill also adds 5 points to his temporary stat pool (these 5 points disappear from wherever they are distributed when the technique ends). Unfortunately, as the technique takes a lot of mental energy to maintain, Kazu becomes unable to alter his intelligence stat while utilizing the technique.

㊬ Other Information ㊬
㊬Fears㊬
With his life style reliant on various shrines, Kazu finds the thought of becoming incapable of work to be one equivocal to death and a scary idea.
㊬Weakness㊬
For those wishing to fight Kazu, he has no long range techniques making him relatively weak in that realm. Socially however, depending on how high his intelligence score is, sometimes others find it difficult to relate.
㊬Strength㊬
In addition to his abilities making him stronger physically, they also increase the potential for mental capabilities, making Kazu skilled at tactics and things that can be improved by memorization.
