The Original--
The Man Behind the Mask


Once upon a time in a far away place and, er, time, there was a young man living in Neo-Japan who took it upon himself to teach a young Domon Kasshu such worldly concepts as if you trust others, there's nothing you can't do. ...But apparently, he didn't do all that good a job of it, judging by where Domon is today. But enough of that. We aren't, after all, here to learn of the failures of someone Domon knew as a child.

We're here to celebrate that this man existed at all.

You might know him as the man in Domon's "charming" photo.

You may know him as the man who stole the Devil Gundam, bring it crashing to the Earth, wreaking havoc on what was once a beautiful planet.

And it's possible still that you know him merely as Domon's older brother, Kyoji Kasshu, a man just as brave and strong as the younger sibling, who risked himself without a thought, to keep the Ultimate Gundam out of the wrong hands.

Here at Sympathy From the Devil, we know him as the man who gave us the Schwarz Bruder we came to love. And since Domon and Rain get such a deja vu when speaking to him, we can assume that our Schwarz is the essense of this man, not merely a shadow of him. Unfortunately, Kyoji's role in G Gundam is a short and sordid one that both begins and ends in tragedy.

But that's why I love him.
