Rindou Koga- 久雅 竜胆 [Izanami]

Izanami; Leader of the Eastern Expedition

Rindou Koga (久雅 竜胆) is one of the main characters in Kajiri Kamui Kagura. She is the young head of the Koga Clan, the most influential and powerful samurai house in Shinshu. Since her youth, she felt a sense of disconnection from the narcissistic mindset that seems to plague all of her other compatriots, which was later explained by Tokoyo that it was because of her having the nature of hegemony (Hadō) instead of that of transcendence (Godō). Upon the assembly of the second Eastern Expedition, she becomes the endeavor's commander in chief, putting her natural charisma and skills as a leader to good use. When the Eastern Expedition reached Mount Fujii in Edo (specifically the Gladsheimr ruins that lie under the mountain) she was able to reach and, after discussing with Tokoyo regarding her craving, wield Longinuslanze Testament, the Spear of Destiny that contained the afterglow of Shura-Do, the mandala of its previous owner (Reinhard Heydrich), which helped the Eastern Expedition in defeating Tenma Akuro, Tenma Morei, Tenma Nuhamine and Tenma Momiji before arriving at Ezo by calling their previous names that they had in the Old World and imposing the status of "losers" upon them, ultimately breaking their Time Armor. During the battle against Tenma Yato at Edo she was able to free herself and the other members from Mugen Kannazuki (besides Habaki who was already fighting against the leader of the Yatsukahagi). After the defeat of the Yatsukahagi, she becomes aware of her status as the apostosis of Kikei (Habaki) and tries to keep the distances with him in order not to destroy the man she loves, but in the end, Habaki reaches her heart, and they decide to fight against the true enemy (Hajun) that was turning the world into a narcissistic hell in the meantime. After the defeat of Hajun, she becomes one of the Guardians of the Seventh Heaven and loses her hegemony (Hadō) trait after giving birth to Amaterasu (Seventh Heaven), gaining a Transcendence God (Gudō) nature instead. In the aftermath of Hajun's downfall, Habaki and Rindou permanently overlay reality with the Hegemonic Law of Bonds: The Seventh Heaven - Amaterasu Simasu Sumeoomikami. Eventually, they married and gave birth to Hirume's, the Seventh Heaven's sensory and avatar. Even after relinquishing the active execution of the Throne, she watches over the Dawn World as its progenitor. She and Habaki spend their days in constant administrative debates regarding how to best manage the cosmic infrastructure of the Throne, fully embracing the weight of their responsibility. ------------------------ "What do you think, Hajun? Look at us, for this is who we are." "Everyone has been lost, shaken, and hurt yet we stand here to seize that truth. That there is pride in defending it." "In other words, that radiance is our soul! Something that doesn't exist under your Heaven!" "These men are my friends and my priceless treasure! I will not let anyone take them away from me. Least of all you, who sees nothing but yourself." "You've been playing the wrong role, you third-rate god! We will show you the bonds of our Hadou!" „ ~ Rindou, to Hajun
