In the manga, it is revealed that she is the reincarnation of Sakura-hime (Princess Sakura), the daughter Oyakata and princess of Sawaki clan, who lived over 400 years before the series' actual storyline.įūko Kirisawa ( 霧沢風子 Kirisawa Fūko ?) Voiced by: Akiko Hiramatsu (Japanese), Kris Rundle (English), Caitlynne Medrek (English young Fūko)įūko, a tomboyish teenage girl, is Recca's childhood friend who has always aspired to defeat him in battle so that he would serve her as her ninja. She is the prime objective of the series' main antagonist, Kōran Mori, as he believes that her healing powers will help him attain eternal life. Yanagi is a teenage girl gifted with the innate ability to heal any kind of physical injury, and Recca immediately offers to serve her as his loyal ninja after seeing her compassion when she healed a severely injured puppy in a local park (in the anime series, she heals Recca after a pile of metal pipes collapsed on top of him). Yanagi Sakoshita ( 佐古下柳 Sakoshita Yanagi ?) Voiced by: Yuki Masuda (Japanese), Carol-Anne Day (English) His appearance varies slightly between the anime and manga, as in the manga, his hair has a red highlight and bright blue eyes, and in the anime his hair is a dull blue highlight and his eyes are a similar color. After the destruction of the Tendo Jigoku, every remaining madogu disintegrated to naught, as well as Recca and Kurei's flame powers.

Ouka reveals that if Recca becomes the ninth dragon, he would become 'a stupid, useless dragon with no ability whatsoever, a waste of space inside Kurei'. In the end, the eighth dragon Resshin (actually Recca's father Ouka) reveals that Recca's flame has no original form (something every Flame Master's flame is supposed to have, such as Ouka's and Kurei's phoenix flame), thus Recca is the true cursed child, fated to end the Hokage. Recca's powers were apparently so strong that they had to be sealed with a wrist guard. Recca's flame power is derived from eight Flame Dragons (referred to as Karyū in the Japanese version) namely Saiha, Nadare, Homura, Setsuna, Madoka, Rui, Kokuu, and Resshin. In an attempt to save him during the slaughter of the Hokage ninja clan, his mother (Kagerō) used a forbidden technique that opened a portal that would transport him into the future, where the Flame of Recca storyline begins.

Recca's older half-brother, Kurei, was supposed to be the heir to the leadership because he was the eldest and was born with the ability to control fire, but Recca also exhibited the same abilities as an infant, and is declared the true heir of the Hokage leadership. Recca was born the second son of Ōka, the leader of the Hokage ninja clan that existed over 400 years ago. Recca, the primary protagonist of the series, is a teenager obsessed with ninja and anything related to ninja.
