Gunichi Kano

Gunichi is a noted duelist. He is not an exceptional swordsman, but that is more than made up for by his mastery of the spectacular "silent sword" kiai technique. This is so draining of ki that it requires some time of silent meditation to allow its performance, and only the most skilled practicioners can perform it more than once or twice a day
