Japan's greatest oni slayer. He is so strong that the mere sight of him sends oni fleeing in terror, even without the presence of an exorcist.


Watanabe-no-Tsuna was a warrior from the mid-Heian period. He served along with Sakata Kintoki, Usui Sadamitsu, and Urabe-no-Suetake as one of Minamoto-no-Raikou's famed Four Kings. Of the Four Kings, Tsuna was said to be Raikou's most trusted warrior, and was loved like an older brother by his three companions.

A stodgy, extremely straitlaced man. He may be a man of few words, but he is still social, and was a renowned as a cool and collected oni killer. He executes his job with such flawlessness and dogged dedication that outsiders can hardly imagine him ever having a personal or social life. It was said that people around him placed absolute trust in him not because of his words, but rather his attitude and the way he carried himself. His sense of obligation, rather than hatred, is what drives him to kill oni.
...Except for a certain oni, that is.

To Tsuna, an oni is should neither be hated nor protected, but must simply be killed. There is no sympathy, compassion, hatred, or joy in the act. It is a job. Each morning, he went to the capital and killed any oni he encountered, then returned home. This was his routine, each and every day. Were he born in modern times, he might have been a businessman who acted always with perfect dedication to his job (with no need to ever put in overtime). He was an exceptional man who never neglected his training and worked always to improve his skills, no matter what.

Though he understands human behavior, he has no desire to partake in it. He understands human emotion, but it is unclear whether those emotions do indeed exist within him. This is, however, complicated by the fact that he isn't entirely lacking in emotion. He may risk his life in defense of his friends or innocent people, but never grows emotional in the doing...almost like a robot programmed to help people. His explanation for this is that he does what he does simply because it is what's expected of him. Tsuna also does not think of himself as human, which is why it is so much harder for him to kill humans than oni. When he expressed this to Kintoki and some others, they were at a loss for how to respond.

An outcast since childhood, he understands that the only links he has to humanity are that he is one of Raikou's Four Kings, is a warrior, and that he slays oni. The only exception to this is the golden-haired oni who is resplendent yet cruel. She is the only one who stirs up any kind of emotion in Tsuna.
