Utawarerumono


Synopsis
Utawarerumono is a story centering around the masked protagonist, Hakuoro, who one day is found by a family of two girls and their grandmother in a nearby forest close to their village. He is badly injured and is soon found to have amnesia, so they take him to their home and treat him until he is well again. Hakuoro is soon accepted into their village where he stays and lives with them, but before long Hakuoro finds that life in this village is being oppressed by the greedy emperor who rules over the country their village resides in. Soon after, these negative actions taken towards their village result in him leading a rebellion against the emperor of the country which later lands him to become emperor of a vast new country which is named Tusukuru, after the well-respected woman who helped saved his life. After becoming emperor and things begin to calm down, Hakuoro soon finds out that peace is hard to maintain and finds himself constantly in battle in order to protect the peace of his country and his people. Eventually, he is led into many bloody battles in order to fight for the freedom of all those residing in Tusukuru. Along the way, Hakuoro meets several other strong warriors from several other countries and tribes who are fully accepted into Hakuoro's growing family. Many moments of hardship and laughter ensue as time continues but with Hakuoro leading the way, all others are confident in his ability to lead.

Characters
Hakuoro
Hakuoro wears an irremovable mask over the top part of his head extended down to just under the eyes. He is found badly injured by Eruru, Aruru and their grandmother in a nearby forest and nursed back to health by them. Also, he has lost all his memories and in effect, has no idea who he is and is somewhat confused at the bizarre nature of the world he is now living in. He is given the name Hakuoro (also the name of Eruru and Aruru's father) due to his being unable to remember his original name. His main weapon of choice is a large metal fan that was given to him by Tusukuru.


Eruru
Eruru is the first person Hakuoro meets when he wakes up after being found by her and her family. She nurses Hakuoro back to health until he is strong enough to go walking outside, with much initial assistance provided by Eruru and a walking stick. Later, she falls in love with Hakuoro. She is the reincarnation of Mikoto. Eruru kisses Hakuoro before he is sealed as he tells her that they will meet again and that she will be waiting for him.


Aruru
Aruru is Eruru's shy, quiet younger sister, and a friend to Yuzuha and Kamyu. Like Eruru, she is also named after a fictional flower. It is said that the Eruru and Aruru flowers grow together. When she first meets Hakuoro, she is shy and recalcitrant, running and hiding from Hakuoro at every opportunity and speaking very little. After Hakuoro eventually wins over Aruru's affections, she calls Hakuoro otosan.
