Shinji Hyakuya

"Alright, you damned harpy, listen up! And be sure to pass this message along to your superiors! I am Shinji Hyakuya, leader of the Night Parade of the Asurashi Clan! And these kiddos are my children! In other words... any and all transgressions against them will be considered an act of war by the Night Parade!"

- Shinji warning Raynare Shinji Hyakuya, otherwise known to all factions as the White Fang, and the Demon of Misfortune, is the leader of the Asurashi Clan's Night Parade, a group of Devils and Youkai who are in direct opposition to the Khaos Brigade, as well as the Old Satan Faction. Additionally, he is the adoptive father of Issei Hyoudou and Asia Argento, having taken them in after they're families and loved ones were slain for their Sacred Gears.

Shinji is more famously known as the Demon of the Cherry Blossoms, as several years ago, he was the former leader of Kyoto before leaving without so much as a word, leaving all ownership of Kyoto to Yasaka. According to Sirzechs, he was also Yasaka's fiance until his sudden disappearance.

Appearance
Despite claiming to be over a thousand years old, Shinji appears to be very young, almost possibly in his teens, with prominent white hair with the underside of his hair being black, and bearing dark red eyes. He always wears a black yukata with a dark blue haori over it, with the insignia of the Night Parade branded over it.

Personality
Eccentric and exuberant, Shinji Hyakuya is a very lively man, believing in the idea that to live is to act on one's emotions and desires. He can be somewhat childish, evident by his antics when Issei ignores him to spend more time with Asia than with him, though he later expresses amusement when he sees how uncomfortable the boy looks when Asia reminds him of her promise to him when they were little. Additionally, he has a soft-spot for anyone his son and daughter approves of, welcoming Rias and her group with open arms.

However, beneath this cheerful exterior is man of danger and the utmost brutality an Ultimate-Class Devil could possibly represent. He is ruthless to anyone who dares to cross him, and he shows no mercy to those who have earned his ire. Wrathful beyond comprehension, there are little who are not terrified of Shinji's monstrous rage. His fury is particularly pronounced to those who dare to harm his family and anyone close to him. He was uncaring if his actions could potentially start another war between the Three Great Factions, evident with his act of killing Raynare and her cohorts. As the leader of the Night Parade, he has adopted the Asurashi Clans's ideals, in that any aggressions against the Night Parade, or those affiliated with them, can and will be considered an act of war, a threat they have made due on several occasions in the past.
