Kyuujirou

There's an old saying: the finest seasoning is a worthy rival. Kyuujirou learned this truth arguing with Yaban-hito over a roaring cookfire. The barbarian roasts beasts whole; Kyuujirou, using techniques honed in the stifling kitchens of The Teikodian Empire, crafts delicate masterpieces from the same monster. They paint their face for this culinary war, a ritual of focus their little octopus companion seems to respect. Each meal is a challenge: Yaban-hito’s raw power versus Kyuujirou’s refined artistry. They roam together, a chef and a barbarian in a constant, delicious feud, forever debating if a swamp lizard is better flame-broiled or thinly sliced for sashimi.
