Karuvar

The Ardent Tiger himself arrived in the area around Amatsu-Kyo only a year or so ago, and quickly won the loyalty of the Kaihou family, who adopted him and installed him as their clan leader. His history is otherwise shrouded in obscurity, as though it is clear he has the blood of a westerner (from somewhere over the Golden Ash; indeed, even his given name is foreign), he speaks Kunigo as a native speaker would, and has otherwise adopted Kuniumi's traditions.

To those who have trouble pronouncing "Karuvar," he is instead known affectionately by the title "Katora" or "Fire Tiger."
