When the Panda Council’s proclamations grew strange and cruel, most blamed political strife within The Great Panda City. Kugako, a trainee more noted for their disarming charm than their swordplay, saw the shimmer of illusion everyone else missed. They tracked the deception not to a court rival, but to the deceiver themself, Azamuku. The confrontation was no honorable duel. It was a messy, desperate fight in a bamboo grove where Kugako, cornered and underestimated, fought with a ferocity that stunned even the dark magic user. They didn't just expose Azamuku's lies; they tore them apart. The name "the Vicious" came from the guards who witnessed the aftermath. The Kitsune mask came later, a way to reconcile the quiet trainee they were with the savage reputation they had earned.
