Hokuro

Hokuro (ホクロ) is a soldier in the kingdom, who is loyal to Bojji.

Appearance
Hokuro is a young man with a medium long blond hair and has a mole under his left eye. He usually wears a brown shirt.

Personality
Hokuro's beloved mother appears to have been deaf, making him one of the few guardsmen in the Bosse Kingdom who knows sign language. A chance encounter with Bojji while visiting his mother's grave seems to have given Hokuro a deep respect and admiration for the young prince.

As a guardsman Hokuro was unfalteringly loyal to Bojji, to the point of challenging Bojji's murderer after his discovery.

He also seems to have a fundamentally different view of service to Swordmaster Dormas. While Dormas believes following a King means accepting every order, Hokuro believes unjust orders cannot be followed. Dormas believed this was evidence that Hokuro lacks resolve.

Hokuro's sense of justice lead to him returning to the Bosse Kingdom and reporting Bojji's death directly to Queen Jiling. He was immediately sentenced to death by the queen for failing to protect Bojji. Luckily Dormas, influenced by Hokuro, saved him from his execution.

Now training in swordsmanship with Dormas, Hokuro comes to believe that Dormas is actually quite a bad teacher, and is incapable of adapting his knowledge to anyone else's circumstances.
