Minamoto Mamoru

Minamoto Mamoru (源·守) is the son of Hachiman and a woman named Minamoto Katsumi (源·勝美). He grew up in Usa in the Ōita Prefecture of Japan.

Appearance
Mamoru is a relatively tall young man with brown eyes and black hair. He is normally seen wearing black shoes, blackish-grey pants, a black belt, a black v-necked shirt and a black coat with tan fur trim. He also wears a couple of silver rings on both of his index fingers.

History
Mamoru grew up in Usa, Ōita, Japan and spent a lot of time around the Usa Hachiman-gū, a Shinto shrine to Hachiman. He found this rather annoying and had no idea why his mother wanted to spend so much time around the shrine, so he would often sneak off to play instead of staying with his mother to pray. During one of these many excursions he came face-to-face with a Kappa that lived in the river near the shrine. He managed to defeat the Kappa by bowing deeply to it. After the water spilled out of the Kappa's sara, Mamoru refilled it and the Kappa promised to serve him. Mamoru spent the rest of the day having the Kappa play with him and teach him Shogi. However, at the end of the day, he felt no need to have the Kappa serve him and told it to return to its home and, if he were ever to need the Kappa, he would call for it. He has since all but completely forgotten about this incident, thinking it to have been a daydream.

Unbeknownst to him at this time he is the demigod son of Hachiman. Also unknown to him is that his mother Katsumi is the demigod daughter of Ares and that his grandmother Minamoto Noriko (源·典子) was the demigod daughter of Bellona.
