Tenma Funato

Tenma was a tall and well-built man of light complexion. He had grey eyes and light purple, flat hair. His hair framed his face while covering his right eye. He also had red marks about his face; two crossing over his cheeks and down his jaw, one up over his nose, one under each of his eyes, and three crossing over both sides of his forehead. He wore dark grey pants with a dull grey gi over a dark grey shirt. He also had black wristbands, and wears a black haori draped over his shoulders with a blue scarf around his neck.

Tenma was abandoned by his birth parents at a young age. Forced to fend for himself, he would often steal crops from the island he lived on, ostracised by the inhabitants. One day, Araumi Funato and the Funato Clan came to the island to raid it. Tenma was amazed at Araumi's strength when he easily defeated several men at once. He charged Araumi to see his strength firsthand. When quickly subdued, he begged Araumi to let him join. Impressed by Tenma's attitude, Araumi decided to adopt Tenma, training him regularly. At the same time, Araumi ultimately focused more on his biological children's development, making Tenma jealous. He often mocked his younger brother, Ikada, for not having any aptitude for battle or wielding the Funato power despite being a true descendant. Later, he watched Ikada's rite of passage ceremony to determine his inherited power. As Ikada was hurled into the ocean as raging storm took place, his Funato abilities manifested, causing a massive wave that save him from drowning, leaving Tenma and his other siblings speechless. Tenma however believed it was just the storm washing Ikada back. During the operation that captured his father, Tenma was able to escape while killing several Kiri-nin. Following this, Ikada made a decision to leave the clan and find his own path. Tenma was strongly against this, but Seiren convinced Tenma to let Ikada do as he pleased.
