Juzoh Kanzaki

Juzoh Kanzaki (神崎 十三 Kanzaki Jūzō) is a character in The Last Blade. He is voiced by Taison Ohya. Juzoh is characterized as a power-type character in gameplay. His movelist underwent a drastic change in Last Blade 2 where some of his moves from the first game were either removed or revamped. His official slogan is "Big Heart: 陽気な羅漢".

Story
Juzoh is the adopted brother of Akari Ichijou (he was orphaned earlier in his childhood). Despite this, he and his adoptive family are very close. At home, he is generally free-spirited and somewhat lazy. Sometime during this, he learned how to use a club with his brute strength (apparently to pass the time). While in the course of his usual laying around the house with little to keep him preoccupied, he was knocked out and kidnapped by Akari, who “persuaded” him to accompany her on a journey to discover the landmark known as the “Gate of Hell”.

After their adventure, their sister Hikari falls ill and the two become extremely concerned about her health. One day as Juzoh is visiting Hikari, she discloses that their sister Akari had run away to “Hell's Gate” again to find a cure for her curse. To lay both their fears to rest, Juzoh pursues her on her quest.

Personality
Light-hearted and goofy, Juzoh is a reliable "sidekick" to Akari. He can be melodramatic at times, but he tries his best to keep a good eye on her.
