Strengths: (3 to 5 things your character is good at. Must have equal weaknesses.)
- When it comes to battlefield planning Tenzen has seemed like a natural since first year. Able to read the enemies and his own people well he is highly skilled in military strategy.
- Navigation: Due to love for astronomy and study of terrains Tenzen is fairly well versed at outdoor navigation regardless of the circumstances. It is a very rare case indeed when he is lost.
- Graceful: He moves well on his feet. While not very fast, he carefully watches his steps and isn't likely to slip or fall.
- Heat and Humidity: Tenzen doesn't take heat well. The weather in Kyushu, attacks with fire, things of those nature tend to be more physically taxing on him than they are on others.
- Fear of the Supernatural: Just because sacred items exist doesn't mean tanuki, kappa, and giant skeleton demons exist right? As someone who is obsessive about tactics and science Tenzen is a firm non-believer in the supernatural. If someone summoned or even acted well enough like a ghost it would probably ruin him.
- Early Onset Hearing Loss: He actually has a bit of natural hearing problems. He covers it up by watching people's mouth movements along with what bits of hearing he has left. Most people assume that he is ignoring them, not that he can't hear them. Also puts him at danger of being assassinated easier than others. Eventually, at a fairly young age (mature adult instead of elderly) Nakubo Tenzen will be fully deaf.

Support: Nakubo Gosai: A famous Noh actor in his youth he is Tenzen's grandfather. Taught Tenzen about Noh and Kabuki.
Nakubo Dosetsu: Tenzen's father. He is an older man who had a son late in life. His father is a restaurant owner at a small ramen shop in Gifu. Despite his humble life he prefers the arts and tries to take his family to them when he can.
Nakubo Shimei: Tenzen's mother. A kind woman who helps her husband prepare the large ramen bowls their restaurant is famous for.
History: The Nakubo family are a small family descended from sengoku era merchants. Starting out in the sengoku era as the owners of a joint brothel and soba shop they now own a large ramen shop. Tenzen was born the son of ramen shop owners. Making a fairly average income they sent Tenzen through public school easily enough. Growing up Tenzen was kind of distant from his classmates and really only close to his grandfather, a famous actor in his time. This caused Tenzen to develop a love of theater from an early age.
Tenzen ended up being well versed in his studies despite his lack of attention in school which made other students often come to him and ask for help or for his homework answers. Seeing they needed help but believing all of them fools to not be able to do their own work he began viewing others as burdens from a young age, instead preferring to read books rather than hanging out with his peers. First it was nature, then science, then science in weapon making such as gunpowder, then warfare, then war tactics. It was around this time, middle school, that Tenzen's grandfather suggested reading classic military strategy books and gave Tenzen a few, saying some of them should be handled carefully as they happened to be old collectibles he had picked up in his travels.
While reading the books and imagining the tactics described three spear ashigaru made of shadows appeared and lunged in front of Tenzen. Throwing the book to the ground and stepping back at first due to an unnatural fear of the supernatural it wouldn't be until a year later the boy picked the book up again with the same result. Deciding to test it and read more it was clear that Tenzen could summon warriors to carry out the tactics in the book. It didn't take long for Edo Bugei to catch wind of this and send for the boy.
Much like in public school during his first year Tenzen helped other but didn't get particularly close with them. Instead he simply made tactics and watched others follow them usually to victory. This trend has continued during from first year, through Tenzen's time as a second year, and now into the boy being a third year at Edo Bugei. While his tactics and fighting ability have somewhat improved, his actually personality and communication skills still leave much to be desired as he seems to instead prefer studying and self improvement over being with others.
