Clan Info

Clan Name: (mother) Atsuhiro/厚裕 (means "rich abundance")

History: A powerful clan that practised both the teachings of ninja and samurai and were heavily famed throughout the Warring States Period and the First Great Ninja War, being rivalled by the Katsumi clan. Although, just before the start of the Second Great Ninja War, a schism broke out within the clan which brought about their division. Those who believed in the samurai teachings retreated to the Land of Iron while those who still practised the way of ninja stayed in the Land of Fire. Despite this, the Atsuhiro ninja who at some point had formed an armistice with the Katsumi clan maintained their relationship with them, often mingling with each other to create powerful shinobi children.

Clan Name: (father) Katsumi/勝見 (means "victorious view")

History: Were once a proud and powerful Ninja clan during the days of the Warring States Period and were feared nearly to the same degree as the Uchiha and Senju clan. However, during the First Great Ninja War, many were slaughtered and as a result, the prestige of the clan gradually diminished. The clan's main rival was the Atsuhiro clan who was to them as the Senju were to the Uchiha. An armistice was later formed between the two and they became close with one another, often mingling with each other to create powerful shinobi children.

Note

Not even going to try to be smart about this. Yes, his character is heavily inspired by Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia. I did this because I wanted Iroko to have a rival that acted as a foil to his character but diverged from Sasuke's personality, which Asami already embodied. Both boys also look up to Naruto the same way Midoriya and Bakugo do All Might, and I thought that was cool. However, as the story continues you'll find that Kazue and Katsuki are actually quite different from each other given their background, motivations and where their resentment to the protagonist comes from.

Edit: I feel I should also say that he's one of the characters whose ideals I empathize with the most and can truly understand why he acts the way he does.

y he does.
