Banasu

Banasu was a bandit who joined the Brotherhood of Shinsei.

Bandit
Banasu was a member of a bandit gang who attacked the Dragon village of Kinto Mura. A single monk of the nearby Dawn's Light Monastery managed to defeat them. He injured Banasu, and then gave him the choice to become his student or to face the magistrate's law.

Monk
Banasu joined the monastery, and after many years the village was again attacked by bandits. Banasu defeated two of the outlaws, and subdued the last, by the name Chikiri. Banasu gave the young boy the same opportunity he had been given. Chikiri accepted to became his student.
