Before joining the Black Order, next to nothing is known about Yuu Kanda’s life. He was born in Japan, and obviously gained his health-regenerative tattoo, his hourglass, his lotus flower (has something to do with his life) and his Innocence, Mugen, sometime between his life in his home country and his training with his master, General Froi Tiedoll. It is known that he is searching for someone whom he either hates or is very close to, but beyond that, nothing. When he does join the Black Order, however, one of the first people he meets (and can actually stand) is Lenalee Lee – one of his later comrades.
One of the most major events in Kanda’s life, although he didn’t know it at the time, was meeting Allen Walker – the white-haired, cursed 15 year old. Kanda had just arrived back from a mission when the Gate Keeper went berserk. Instead of allowing the nurses in the infirmary to finish attending his wounds, Kanda grabbed Mugen and, faster than most would expect from one wounded, was at the front gate to find Allen pleading with the Order to believe that he was human, and not an akuma (a killing machine disguised as a human). Given that he is who he is, Kanda was on the offensive very quickly. His first blow struck Allen’s arm, damaging it.
Given the appearance of Allen’s arm, Kanda questions him about it. The white-haired 15 year old claims that it is an anti-Akuma weapon. Despite yelling at the Gate Keeper briefly, Kanda poses to continue attacking his “foe”, saying “We’ll know [if he’s human] once we see his insides.” The dark-haired exorcist stops from killing Allen when General Cross Marian and Komui are brought up. Apparently, a letter of Allen’s arrival was supposed to have arrived. Such a letter had, and the attack was called off. However, due to his skeptical and cynical nature, Kanda doesn’t back down. Lenalee hits him on the head with her clipboard and, after telling him a bit more forcefully that the attack was called off, he lowers his Innocence.
If this wasn’t the start of the rivalry between Allen and Kanda, the next comment certainly was. Allen, being civil and whatnot, politely introduced himself and held out his hand for a handshake. Kanda, true to his nature, merely turned away. As he did so, he made the comment that he wasn’t one to shake hands with someone who was cursed.
The next time Kanda and Allen saw each other was in the cafeteria. Kanda had gotten annoyed with some Finders (those who locate the Innocence cubes) and them with him for being so uncaring about the deaths of their comrades. Things were escalating, until Allen stepped in. From there, things got heated between the two exorcists. This was stopped temporarily by them being called to Komui’s office. To the horror of both young men, their first assignment was in Italy...as partners. However, no matter how much they wished to complain, Komui stopped them then and there, saying that they would have to deal with it.
On the way to Italy, Kanda explains more about the Innocence, as well as what their mission is. Once they arrive at their destination, he warns Allen that if he believes he is being a hindrance, he (Allen) is going to be left behind and left to fend for himself. Then, Allen jumps into battle against an akuma, head first. Kanda notes how idiotic that is of the younger teen, but goes off to do what he needs to, in order to complete this mission. In other words, he needs to save their targets, Guzol and Lala. This he does with relative ease, as Allen is keeping the akuma busy. He then tells Allen that he’s on his own. Allen was the one to rush into battle, not he. This is his mess to pick up, not Kanda’s.
During the escape, Lala lets Kanda know of various underground passage ways in which they can hide, that will take them outside of the town. While inside this network of passages, Lala and Guzol disappear (they fall through the ground). Kanda is cornered by what he believes to be the akuma. However, when Allen saves this “foe” from Kanda’s first illusion attack, it is revealed that this is not the case. The dark-haired exorcist is caught off guard and attacked by the akuma, sustaining various serious, although not critical, injuries. He falls unconscious after stating that he cannot die until he’s found “that person”.
Allen carries him to where Guzol and Lala are. It is revealed that Lala, instead of Guzol (like they were told at first), is the doll they were looking for – the keeper of the Innocence. When he wakes up, somehow hearing the conversation through his sleep, or hearing the tale end of it, commands Allen to take Lala’s heart (the Innocence) immediately. They were there to find and protect said Innocence. He wasn’t about to even risk the possibility of the akuma taking it and destroying it. Allen, however, is unable to do what he is commanded. Lala wished to stay with Guzol until his death, how could he take it? This infuriates Kanda. However, he does not respond by chiding his fellow exorcist about this. He throws Allen’s coat at him, stating how it’s not to be used as a pillow for the wounded, and goes on to say “it takes a sacrifice to save others, newbie”.
He proceeds to get up and walk over to Lala, Mugen in his hand, about to cut out the doll’s heart. Allen stops him and states that he will be the sacrifice. Kanda punches him, but collapses, himself, due to the amount of blood that he had lost earlier. He asks (in a less-than-calm manner) if Allen has anything dear to him. While the newbie answers that question positively, he still states that he wants to protect them. Kanda doesn’t get a chance to respond – the akuma pierces through Guzol and Lala, and takes the Innocence.
Allen gets beyond angry, and ends up in a situation where his body can’t keep up with his Innocence and so ends up relatively helpless. Despite his earlier threats/warnings, Kanda steps in front of the temporarily incapacitated Allen and blocks the akuma’s attack with Mugen. This, of course, does unpleasant things for his wounds. The two of them together then blow apart the akuma, then black out.
After three days, Kanda is fully recovered and heading out of the hospital. This baffles the doctors, who attempt to keep him in the hospital for the next five months – he was in critical condition, how could he recover so rapidly? It was the tattoo above his heart. Unlike previous times, however, it took a while for him to recover. During his conversation with Komui, he is warned not to miscalculate how much of his life he has left. He then meets up with Allen, and lets him know that he needs to deliver the Innocence to HQ – he’s going straight to his next mission.
Several missions later, Kanda is grouped with his two teammates Daisya Barry and Noise Marie, on a search for their master. However, due to akuma-havoc, they were side-tracked. During this battle, Daisya is killed. The only way that Kanda and Marie know this, is through their wireless golem communicators. Words that belonged not to Daisya, but to another were spoken. It is fully confirmed in the morning that their comrade is dead.
Not long after, the two remaining students of General Tiedoll finally catch up to him, and warn him that the exorcist generals are being targeted. He is also informed that Daisya has been killed and Daisya’s Innocence has been taken as well. Kanda requests that he return with them, but the General resists, stating that he needs to find more exorcists. Kanda and Marie join him, both having predicted the response.
Later on, after traveling with Tiedoll and Marie for a various length of time, Kanda and said exorcists meet up with the rest of their comrades during the fight taking place in Edo. After being given orders by his master to help out, he and Marie respond rapidly. Kanda arrives just in time to keep Lenalee and Chaoji from being eaten by the Tease of one of the Noahs – Tyki Mikk. From there, he proceeds to attack him... Until Marie needs his help briefly to take down one of the many akuma they are dealing with.
When Kanda and co. arrived to help out with the battle, it had, at first, appeared like they would make a comeback and win. However, due to the Millennium Earl “summoning” a giant, more powerful akuma, such was not yet to be the case. This akuma creates an energy field that clears off all of Edo’s landscape. Kanda is caught in the blast, however he does not die. He’s merely wounded. Once again, he gets drawn into a fight with Tyki. The reason? He’s protecting Lenalee from being captured and possibly killed, yet again. Then, Tyki disappears. Kanda attacks Allen, who’s just able to block Mugen with his arm, thinking he’s a foe. After realizing this was not the case, the two clash...again. But this fight doesn’t last very long – they have more pressing matters to attend to.
The exorcists find shelter and rest for a while, to regain their strength and allow their wounds to heal somewhat. This is interrupted when Lenalee is captured by Lero. Yet not only Lenalee has fallen through the portal into the Ark. Allen, Lavi, Chaoji, Kanda, and Crory (in that order), in attempts to keep one another from being sucked in, are dragged in as well. This is where the major trouble begins.
The Ark is being downloaded into a different vessel (called by those who can see it, the Black Ark), and, for all practical purposes, they’re trapped. If they are unable to get out, they will be lost in oblivion for eternity. It is revealed to them by Tyki that there is actually a way out – there’s a door, created by Rhode, at the top of the tallest tower in the center of the vessel. If they are able to make it there and defeat the enemies that try to stop them on the way there, then they will be able to escape. As the room about them begins to collapse and crumble, the group enters into one of the many doors located throughout the Ark.
The first enemy they encounter is one of the Noahs – Skin Bolic, the one who had fought with Lavi earlier. Kanda takes this fight, and tells the others to move on ahead without him. Skin was the Noah who had been trying to kill Tiedoll – obviously Kanda had a bone to pick. They resist, and he attacks them with his first illusion attack. This causes them to run off to the next section,several all of them wondering why they wanted to stay and help Kanda in the first place. Lenalee calls after him multiple times before finally shouting at him to answer her. She wants him to promise that he’ll follow them once he’s defeated Skin. He says ‘okay’, though this is to shut her up more than anything else.
Skin complains about their being noisy, and the fight commences. This fight is probably the toughest that Kanda has fought up to this point in time. He takes some very, very critical damage (Example: Skin burns his head and neck, in an attempt to blow it off... {I, personally, don’t understand how his hair remains so flipping long after that. I guess he just has some pretty awesome skills. |D}), though he does some extreme damage to Skin as well. At the cost of some of his life, he invokes Sangenshiki. Mugen is shattered at this point in the fight, but Kanda is able to piece it back together for a final strike. ...But it’s too late for him to catch up. He falls into the dimensional abyss as the room collapses.
However, all is not lost! After having taken care of the rest of the Noahs (temporarily in any case), Allen is able to restore the Ark – thus bringing back the people who had “died”. They reconvene and exit, returning to the Asia Branch HQ.
After returning back to Headquarters in England, Kanda is forced to stay in the infirmary along with the rest of those injured. He attempts to leave, but is unable, due to Tiedoll blocking his way. In any case, Mugen needs fixing, so he can’t fight. At least that’s what’s presumed until a level four akuma attacks. He ends up protecting Komui with a normal sword with relative success.
The Black Order HQ is, for all practical purposes, destroyed. This forces the organization to move to a different location – an abandoned castle. During the move of the science lab, Kanda and Lavi are hit with a potion. This potion turns them into little kids for a brief amount of time. On top of this, there’s a virus running around loose. He is infected with it (ah, so is everyone else) and it takes Bak Chan from the China HQ to give them antiviral shots.
After the move, various things are revealed about Allen that causes Kanda to react to him more coldly than ever. However, these newly revealed things also seem to help him get along better with said bean sprout. This is apparent during the Phantom Thief G incident. During this, Kanda and Allen are, once again, sent out on a mission together. They find out who this so-called phantom thief is. Unfortunately, things begin to spiral out of control. They are attacked by akuma, and ultimately another level four.
((For this site’s plot.))
During this fight, Kanda found himself engulfed in a white light, and ultimately knocked out. When he awoke, he found himself on a beach on a tropical island in the middle of nowhere. None-too-happy about this, Kanda is able to discern that he’s not where he needs to be, and so sets off to see if he can find any form of life, and any way back home...
Personality: Kanda is generally not a happy person, at all. In fact, about the only time he ever smiles is when he’s scheming something, some plot of his has worked out as he planned, or something very ironic has happened. In any case, a smile from Kanda is more like an evil grin than an actual smile – it means bad things are probably going to happen to whoever his opponent happens to be. However, even in these cases, a smile from this dark-haired teen is quite rare.
It is beyond easy to get on Kanda’s bad side. In fact, you merely have to look at him wrong to get on his bad side. Very few are actually on reasonable terms with him. Of course, not many mind, considering his personality. He is quick to anger, and acts on this emotion faster than lightning. He is very easily annoyed. Luckily for...everyone, however, he won’t pull out Mugen immediately upon being annoyed. (Though, at the same time, it depends on the severity of the annoyance. If he’s merely irritated, he’s more likely to ignore one. If he’s very annoyed, well, non-hollow threats have a tendency to fly.)
He is rude and cold to nigh everyone he meets. This rudeness and coldness has a tendency to last throughout the entire time he knows someone. It doesn’t matter how sweet/kind/whatever they are, he’s partial to few and far between. Obviously, this has a tendency to irk even the most self-disciplined of people to some degree. He’s this way towards even his master. However, because his master is, well, his master, he tends to get knocked about somewhat for his defiance and can’t do anything about it.
Despite this outward appearance, however, Kanda does have, believe it or not, a few good qualities. There are times when he is all bark and no bite. He claims to not care about his fellow exorcists, or fellow people, yet when it comes down to it, he has a hard time standing by and watching someone die if he can do something to help save them. This is true, even in the case of random civilians in the wrong place at the wrong time. Granted no one ever comments on this, due to the fact that he acts the way he does.
Another positive aspect to Yuu is his extreme will to live. Constantly, he repeats to himself during potentially fatal battles that he cannot die. He has yet to find the person for whom he’s searching. (As of yet, that person is unknown.) Whether or not this search is selfish, selfless, futile, or accomplishable, it provides him with the mindset of the need to live. He hasn’t died thus far.
On top of everything else, Kanda is very much human, and, as everyone else does, has fears. It’s not something that one would find him admitting freely, but nevertheless, it is true. Well, he at least has one major fear. That fear, is to die before he’s accomplished his search for the person he’s looking for. Despite his will to live and his healing abilities, should the lotus flower (his life force) completely wither away, he will die, whether or not he’s located what it is that he’s looking for. When given a vision of this happening, the look on his face was that of horror and disbelief.

Sample RP: The sound of ripping foliage echoed about the forest. The snapping and crackling of branches signaled the presence of yet another being on the island. Obviously this one didn’t care about being heard. No, this one had taken a very nonchalant attitude towards his being discovered or not being discovered. He was in a foul mood. Any adversary was quite welcome. Until then, of course, he was content with letting his rage out against the plants and trees about him.
He had woken up on the beach by the coast but a few hours earlier. It had not been a pleasant waking. He’d felt like he’d been handed over to Komrin and shaken around like a maraca. The pounding headache he’d had, one top of the sand coating his hair, face, clothing, and the inside of his mouth and right eye had done nothing to make his situation any more pleasant. This was not England. Tch. This wasn’t even Europe. At this point in time, he wasn’t even sure if this was earth. In any case, it was not “home” and it was irritating.
He’d been fighting an akuma alongside the Bean Sprout. It was a level four, if he remembered correctly. He was about to strike at it, then the next thing he knew, he had been engulfed in a blinding white light, then everything went black. Of course, until he’d woken up yet again to discover that not only was he not doing his duty, but he wasn’t even near London. The chances of his being presumed dead were high. In any case, he would be presumed missing. That, more than anything else, was what had set him off. He was Yuu Kanda! He was an exorcist, one of the best in the Black Order! He’d faced off against foes of equal and greater power than the level four! To have the assumption made that he had died in battle...That was probably the biggest blow to his honor that he could imagine.
The dark-haired teenager scowled as he approached a stream. Thus far, there was no sign of life, no way of returning home. What good would a stream do him? It couldn’t talk. It couldn’t tell him where he was.
Kanda was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a tree branch snap behind him. He continued looking down at the stream, pretending to be oblivious to whatever it was behind him. However, when a shadow began looming, he glanced over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes. What the...? It looked like some sort of a mutant bear. In any case, this was likely the battle he’d been looking for, for the past few hours.
The exorcist leapt across the stream to the other side, creating distance between him and the fiend. “Innocence, activate!” He called out, placing Mugen out in front of him. As he called out this command, Kanda ran his index and middle fingers over the black blade of his sword. As if resonating with his touch, the sharp edge gleamed silver, the normal color for a blade.
Before the mutant was able to take as much as a step forward, the young exorcist sprung forward.

After returning back to Headquarters in England, Kanda is forced to stay in the infirmary along with the rest of those injured. He attempts to leave, but is unable, due to Tiedoll blocking his way. In any case, Mugen needs fixing, so he can’t fight. At least that’s what’s presumed until a level four akuma attacks. He ends up protecting Komui with a normal sword with relative success.
The Black Order HQ is, for all practical purposes, destroyed. This forces the organization to move to a different location – an abandoned castle. During the move of the science lab, Kanda and Lavi are hit with a potion. This potion turns them into little kids for a brief amount of time. On top of this, there’s a virus running around loose. He is infected with it (ah, so is everyone else) and it takes Bak Chan from the China HQ to give them antiviral shots.
After the move, various things are revealed about Allen that causes Kanda to react to him more coldly than ever. However, these newly revealed things also seem to help him get along better with said bean sprout. This is apparent during the Phantom Thief G incident. During this, Kanda and Allen are, once again, sent out on a mission together. They find out who this so-called phantom thief is. Unfortunately, things begin to spiral out of control. They are attacked by akuma, and ultimately another level four.
((For this site’s plot.))
During this fight, Kanda found himself engulfed in a white light, and ultimately knocked out. When he awoke, he found himself on a beach on a tropical island in the middle of nowhere. None-too-happy about this, Kanda is able to discern that he’s not where he needs to be, and so sets off to see if he can find any form of life, and any way back home...
Personality: Kanda is generally not a happy person, at all. In fact, about the only time he ever smiles is when he’s scheming something, some plot of his has worked out as he planned, or something very ironic has happened. In any case, a smile from Kanda is more like an evil grin than an actual smile – it means bad things are probably going to happen to whoever his opponent happens to be. However, even in these cases, a smile from this dark-haired teen is quite rare.
It is beyond easy to get on Kanda’s bad side. In fact, you merely have to look at him wrong to get on his bad side. Very few are actually on reasonable terms with him. Of course, not many mind, considering his personality. He is quick to anger, and acts on this emotion faster than lightning. He is very easily annoyed. Luckily for...everyone, however, he won’t pull out Mugen immediately upon being annoyed. (Though, at the same time, it depends on the severity of the annoyance. If he’s merely irritated, he’s more likely to ignore one. If he’s very annoyed, well, non-hollow threats have a tendency to fly.)
He is rude and cold to nigh everyone he meets. This rudeness and coldness has a tendency to last throughout the entire time he knows someone. It doesn’t matter how sweet/kind/whatever they are, he’s partial to few and far between. Obviously, this has a tendency to irk even the most self-disciplined of people to some degree. He’s this way towards even his master. However, because his master is, well, his master, he tends to get knocked about somewhat for his defiance and can’t do anything about it.
Despite this outward appearance, however, Kanda does have, believe it or not, a few good qualities. There are times when he is all bark and no bite. He claims to not care about his fellow exorcists, or fellow people, yet when it comes down to it, he has a hard time standing by and watching someone die if he can do something to help save them. This is true, even in the case of random civilians in the wrong place at the wrong time. Granted no one ever comments on this, due to the fact that he acts the way he does.
Another positive aspect to Yuu is his extreme will to live. Constantly, he repeats to himself during potentially fatal battles that he cannot die. He has yet to find the person for whom he’s searching. (As of yet, that person is unknown.) Whether or not this search is selfish, selfless, futile, or accomplishable, it provides him with the mindset of the need to live. He hasn’t died thus far.
On top of everything else, Kanda is very much human, and, as everyone else does, has fears. It’s not something that one would find him admitting freely, but nevertheless, it is true. Well, he at least has one major fear. That fear, is to die before he’s accomplished his search for the person he’s looking for. Despite his will to live and his healing abilities, should the lotus flower (his life force) completely wither away, he will die, whether or not he’s located what it is that he’s looking for. When given a vision of this happening, the look on his face was that of horror and disbelief.
Weapons/Powers:
Weapon – A katana, called “Mugen”.
Powers –
- Tattoo = Allows Kanda to heal more quickly than the average human. (Example: Wounds that should take five months to recover from, he recovers from in a week.)
- First Illusion: Hell’s Insects (a.k.a. Kaichū: Ichigen)= After first activating Mugen, Kanda slashes his sword through the air in a horizontal motion. From this, he releases a small swarm of “insects” from “hell”.
- Double Illusion Blades (a.k.a. Nigentou) = For this technique, Kanda uses both Mugen as well as his scabbard. Both are covered in pure energy. This creates two extremely sharp blades.
- Eight Flowers Praying Mantis (a.k.a. Hakka Tourou) = He rapidly slashes his enemy eight times. The after image of these slashes resembles a flower.
- Sublimate (a.k.a. Shouka) = The “gateway” power he uses in order to use Sangenshiki. Kanda activates the power of his tattoo. His pupils “divide” into three dots. Vein-like markings appear around his eyes.
- Three Illusions (a.k.a. Sangenshiki) = Generally used only in dire situations, given that this technique drains a small amount of Kanda’s life force. Through this technique, he is able to dramatically boost his strength and speed.

Sample RP: The sound of ripping foliage echoed about the forest. The snapping and crackling of branches signaled the presence of yet another being on the island. Obviously this one didn’t care about being heard. No, this one had taken a very nonchalant attitude towards his being discovered or not being discovered. He was in a foul mood. Any adversary was quite welcome. Until then, of course, he was content with letting his rage out against the plants and trees about him.
He had woken up on the beach by the coast but a few hours earlier. It had not been a pleasant waking. He’d felt like he’d been handed over to Komrin and shaken around like a maraca. The pounding headache he’d had, one top of the sand coating his hair, face, clothing, and the inside of his mouth and right eye had done nothing to make his situation any more pleasant. This was not England. Tch. This wasn’t even Europe. At this point in time, he wasn’t even sure if this was earth. In any case, it was not “home” and it was irritating.
He’d been fighting an akuma alongside the Bean Sprout. It was a level four, if he remembered correctly. He was about to strike at it, then the next thing he knew, he had been engulfed in a blinding white light, then everything went black. Of course, until he’d woken up yet again to discover that not only was he not doing his duty, but he wasn’t even near London. The chances of his being presumed dead were high. In any case, he would be presumed missing. That, more than anything else, was what had set him off. He was Yuu Kanda! He was an exorcist, one of the best in the Black Order! He’d faced off against foes of equal and greater power than the level four! To have the assumption made that he had died in battle...That was probably the biggest blow to his honor that he could imagine.
The dark-haired teenager scowled as he approached a stream. Thus far, there was no sign of life, no way of returning home. What good would a stream do him? It couldn’t talk. It couldn’t tell him where he was.
Kanda was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a tree branch snap behind him. He continued looking down at the stream, pretending to be oblivious to whatever it was behind him. However, when a shadow began looming, he glanced over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes. What the...? It looked like some sort of a mutant bear. In any case, this was likely the battle he’d been looking for, for the past few hours.
The exorcist leapt across the stream to the other side, creating distance between him and the fiend. “Innocence, activate!” He called out, placing Mugen out in front of him. As he called out this command, Kanda ran his index and middle fingers over the black blade of his sword. As if resonating with his touch, the sharp edge gleamed silver, the normal color for a blade.
Before the mutant was able to take as much as a step forward, the young exorcist sprung forward.
