Gozuki

Gozuki was the leader of the newly formed assassination division of the Empire, Elite Seven, which appears in the prequel series Akame Ga Kill!: Zero.

Appearance
Gozuki was a middle-aged man with blond hair and green eyes. He had a small beard. He wore a white shirt with black pants and a red scarf.

Personality
Gozuki was a prideful and ambitious man. He was very strict if not cruel as seen when he picked children for his purposes and separated Akame from her sister Kurome despite their protests, saying that children mustn't depend on each other in his group. He also claimed that he wouldn't forgive them if they fail their tasks. However, he seemed to genuinely care for them, seeing how he regretted Cornelia's death, and his pupils reciprocated this care. He himself noted that the entire process was harsh.

History
Gozuki was responsible for the development of the members of the group, honing their skills in battle and teaching them to be competent assassins for the Empire. Eight years prior to the start of the series, he gathered an estimated 100 children in Gifnora Forest inhabited by Danger Beasts, seven of the strongest survivors of this test would become his students. He refers to his trainees as his children, and they called him "Father" in return.

He assigns each of the children a human target to kill during their first mission and hands them each a Shingu.

Later, he comes to the aid of Green, Guy, and Najasho who were being overwhelmed by Babara. It is here where Gozuki is shown to be from the Rakshasa Demons. During the battle with Babara, he demonstrates amazing skill with Murasame when used in combination with his body manipulation.

Equipment and Skills
Gozuki was a very strong and formidable fighter. He possessed the Teigu, Murasame and wielded it skillfully.

Just like the other Rakshasa demons, he was able to control his body in various ways, such as growing his nails and hair at a rapid speed to pierce enemies or bend and twist his body to avoid attack.
