hitoshi is the eldest son of one of blackthorn's branch clans, but he would prefer if you knew him as a little more than that. chances are, you probably do if you know him at all. hitoshi isn't exactly the son that his old man likes to go on and on about. he was never quite serious about his position to begin with.

"c'mon father, it's not like i'm going to be anywhere near as important as that boy prodigy that everyone's got their eyes on" his laugh is clear and pleasant like the running waters of the dragon's den. it's true, but he's never as bitter about it as he should be. hitoshi is content to frolic with the dratini populations and mingle with the common folk. he's a disappointment, for sure. hitoshi lets the elders believe whatever they want. it would only make things much easier the day that he leaves. one day, he will. he can't call himself a man if he can't even keep a promise that he makes to himself. hitoshi leaves the town when he is twenty-one years old.

what's the point of being a powerful man if he can't be free? no matter how much the other branches try to deny his abilities, hitoshi is still a blackthorn. being a vagabond isn't so bad when he's still got the name to qualify for whatever odd jobs he can find. it was good for awhile. that is, until conflict started broiling around him and hitoshi found himself working for free on more than a few occasions. it just didn't leave a good taste in his mouth to watch villages burn behind him. 

ah, that's right. the powerful can never be free. maybe his father was onto something. at least he got to see the world while he was travelling, right? that was invaluable, certainly, but somewhere along the way, he wanted to see blackthorn city more than any blazing volcano or majestic sea. he wonders if that cute little cousin of his has grown any taller. 

homesickness strikes princes and paupers alike.

hitoshi smiles when he greets his father at the dragon's den. he is still smiling when his father beats him bloody. 

"it's been a rough two years, old man" he shrugs shamelessly as he allows his father to help him up. "how's your hip holding up?"

he receives another punch for his cheek, just like old times. one day, he'll be on the road again. before then, he intends to earn his keep by helping out around the house, negotiating during local unrest, and beating the crap out of blackthorn's enemies. regaining the family's trust is probably one of the hardest things that hitoshi has ever done, but it's not as if they had much faith in him to begin with. 
Aster
Sweeper - first dragon pokemon that hitoshi had ever received. a real bro, this one. they've been together for forever and a half, and their coordination is top notch among the dragon tamers. aster was a serious fellow when he first started out, but he eased up to his tamer quickly enough.  
Rue
Utility - hitoshi's newest friend from abroad. likes to sleep on people's heads, although hitoshi's is obviously her favorite. sometimes he likes to cuddle with rue in his sleep, and she doesn't mind. she's a sweet little thing, really. usually acts as support for aster.
