Description
Kashima Ouka is a 17-year-old male human adventurer standing 190 cm tall with a large, strong build, black hair, and green eyes. He leads the Takemikazuchi Familia in Orario.
Orphaned when bandits killed his family, he was taken in by the deity Takemikazuchi alongside fellow orphans Mikoto Yamato, Chigusa Hitachi, and Haruhime Sanjouno. As the oldest, he naturally assumed a protective, brotherly role, striving to maintain a cheerful demeanor to uplift his companions despite their shared past. His devotion to his Familia defines his core motivation: prioritizing their safety above all else, even when it requires morally ambiguous decisions. During the Monster Pass incident, he deliberately diverted monsters toward Bell Cranel's party to ensure his injured teammates' escape. He later apologized without regret, stating he valued his Familia's lives over strangers' and accepted any resulting hostility.
Ouka exhibits a warm, loyal personality, acting as a supportive figure who lightens tense situations. However, he remains emotionally dense regarding romance, oblivious to Chigusa Hitachi's feelings despite her overt hints. He has expressed attraction to Tiona Hiryute, citing a preference for slender figures. His combat role emphasizes frontline defense, leveraging his physique to wield heavy weapons like the custom sword "Kogou," forged by Welf Crozzo. As a Level 2 adventurer, he employs martial prowess and tactical resilience, notably executing the finishing move "Koku" during the Amphis Baena battle on the 27th floor, enhanced by Haruhime Sanjouno's magic.
Key involvements include joining the rescue operation for Bell's party after the Monster Pass incident, fighting the Black Goliath alongside Bell, and participating in expeditions to the dungeon's lower floors. During Freya's city-wide charm effect, he briefly antagonized Bell but later sought reconciliation. In the War Game arc, he served in a scouting unit but was defeated early. A crossover event with *Goblin Slayer* revealed his intense hatred for goblins, stemming from his family's murder, showcasing a rarely seen vengeful aspect.
