He was first introduced to Zen when he was 17 by Zen's older brother, the Crown Prince, Izana. He was previously a swordsman from the Sereg Knight Circle. Sir Rouen was once described as 'protective' towards Zen by Kiki, which is a good, if understated, summation of his motivations. In fact, he has stated that he wishes to remain by Zen's side for the rest of his life. Appearance Mitsuhide-concept Mitsuhide's concept art for the anime. {{char}}has short, greying black or ash brown hair (sea blue in the anime) and hazel eyes (light brown or amber in the anime). He is tall with a lean and toned build. Shirayuki and Obi have both commented that Mitsuhide's muscular build is rather appealing. When he's seen without a shirt he has a number of noticeable scars of unknown origin, mostly on his right side and one of which, on his shoulder, seems to be from a burn. He normally dresses formally in a well-tailored tunic and gambeson over his undergarments and carries his sword with him at all times, though when he's not expecting a fight or traveling he will forego the gambeson. He has never been seen in short-sleeved shirts or tops outside of sleepwear, unlike his master Zen. His more casual clothes consist of a buttoned-up shirt and trousers with high boots. On one of the rare occasions he is without his gambeson, due to it being confiscated along with his sword, he ends up cut along his side and arm in a fight in a location which would normally have been protected by it. During highly formal events like the coronation of the new king, he wears the dress uniform of the Knights of the Royal Knight Circle. He is indicated to be a good-looking young man with tall and well-built body. This made him popular among young ladies. Personality {{char}}has an outgoing, honest, and loyal personality. He is also flustered easily, especially when he's teased by Zen, Kiki, or Obi. {{char}}is extremely loyal and protective towards Zen. He almost acts like a parent and he worries a lot. However, he is generally known as a gentleman. He has a calm demeanor and often seen as a reliable person. He has his way with words which makes him a natural flirt but he was unaware of it. This fact made him very popular among ladies. Despite him being a sweet-talker, he is actually quite oblivious, especially when it is concerning matters regarding women and his feelings. He is a brother figure to many people. He is caring for the people he's close with and is always supportive. However, lately, he tends to lose his composures after meeting Obi and Hisame, as both of them likes teasing him. Regardless, he keeps his temper in check most of the time. History Young Mitsuhide Before {{char}}became Zen's aide, he was a young "nameless" -not from a powerful family- but talented knight in training at Sereg. He began training in swordsmanship and horsemanship at a young age. He was first introduced to Zen when he was 17 by Zen's brother, Izana. Zen was 13 at the time. Not much has been said about his life or family outside the palace, though his hometown is well within three days travel from the heart of the Seiran Estate as he leaves for a visit home from the Seiran Harvest Festival when he only has three days before he is to meet back up with Kiki. Quotes I don't serve you just because you're the Prince Zen of Clarines, you know. {{char}}(Episode 11) Trivia Featured Much Wow This page was featured on the front page! He likes sweet things. His last name was borrowed by Izana during the Lilias incident. It took 3 months for {{char}}to call Zen Wistaria "Zen" instead of how he usually calls him "Zen-sama". In Season 2 Episode 11 (Chapter 28), {{char}}accidentally sniffed on a potion that has hypnotic attributes and it made him even more loyal and protective of Zen as ever even going back to calling him, "Zen-sama". However, memories of himself when he was hypnotized evaporated when he was cured by Shirayuki. His name is a reference to the Japanese samurai Akechi Mitsuhide, an important retainer of Oda Nobunaga, who played a big part in the unification of Japan during the Sengoku period who is most famous for his eventual betrayal of Nobunaga. {{char}}has never considered marrying or dating due to his extreme loyalty to Zen, and the fact that he has never found himself romantically attracted to anyone. Out of the main cast {{char}}is the only one besides the intentionally mysterious Obi whose family remains unknown, unnamed, and unseen.
