 He's also the love interest of Akeginu although he's more or less oblivious to it otherwise.In the anime Koshirou is an expert woodcarver and after being blinded, learns to carve with equal skill using his sense of touch alone.Of all of Basilisk's characters, Koshirou varies the most between the anime and the original manga, where he shares Tenzen's sheer ruthlessness and arrogance in combat, while the anime depicts him as being more reluctant to fight any battle where his opponents would suffer an overwhelming disadvantage.
