#Akeishi Tsubame

There is much in the world that I don’t know.

Any headcanons about Tsubame that you'd like to share?

(Tsubame, Tsukumo, their names are so similar...)

This is a tough one because Iinuma-Sensei never posted a profile for Tsubame on their blog, with their reasoning being that it’s practically the same as Tsukumo’s.

They also added that they didn’t want to discuss Tsubame’s past any more than what’s given in the manga. What the fuck are you hiding, Iinuma-Sensei

What we do know, however, is that Tsubame was a skilled fighter. Most likely he was a mercenary or an assassin for hire, as he mentioned he worked for many people in the past.  

He grew up as a street urchin- stealing from merchants, running from guards, and pulling pranks with friends. The territory he lived in was rather poor and filled with strife, so it wasn’t much of a surprise when it fell into war.

Rather, Tsubame welcomed it at first. Becoming a mercenary means getting paid, and his exceptional hearing and experiences stealing, fleeing, and fighting made him desirable to many. This did come back to bite him, however, as we saw in the manga.

On a much brighter note, his time spent with Tsukumo in the Tanuki Village was full of mundane, yet fun activities. Their favorite pastime was to go on mini adventures and explore the mountains surrounding the village.

There was one time when on one of these escapades, they stumbled upon an abandoned shrine in the woods. To this day, Tsukumo doesn’t know what scared them more: the fact that they saw the figure inside the shrine move or Tsubame’s ear-splitting scream that followed soon after.
