Ugetsu Asari (朝利 雨月, Asari Ugetsu) was a Japanese man who loved music. It was said that there was no one who could match his skills with the blade. He physically resembles Yamamoto, and Reborncompared Yamamoto giving up baseball to the first Rain Guardian giving up music: both did so to excel at swordsmanship for the sake of their friends in the Vongola Famiglia. Specifically, he sold his instruments for a trio of short swords and a single long sword. Kojirou's Cambio Forma can form into similar swords called "Ugetsu Asari's Four Irregular Swords". He speaks with a Japanese accent that existed in the Heian period that was used by high class samurai, ninja, and nobles.

Personality

Similar to Yamamoto, he's friendly and easy going, though, he's much more polite and soft-spoken in manner. He cares for his friends and Family and is willing to give up his dream to help them; he had given up his flute in exchange for swords and money to travel to Italy. Ugetsu used his excellent swordmanship to help Giotto when Giotto was in trouble. He is generally portrayed as a calm character.

Appearance

Ugetsu's outfit - blue and white robe with a tall black hat - was worn by noblemen at the Imperial Court of Japan during the Heian era (794-1185). He has black hair and dark eyes. Ugetsu is Japanese flute player and is often seen with a dark brown shakuhachi, which is a Japanese flute. Yamamoto quite strongly resembles him.

Inheritance Arc:

When Tsuna and the others returned to the past to train before their upcoming battle with the Millefiorealong with Yuni, Yuni summons Vongola Primo from the Vongola Ring and was told that the First Guardians of Vongola will observe them henceforth to see if they are worthy enough to inherit the Vongola's true power or not. At night, he appears from the Rain Vongola Ring in front of Yamamoto in the middle of his training. After introducing himself, he requested to hear the extent of Yamamoto's resolve. When Yamamoto gave a simple and clear response, he laughed and said that he will observe him carefully.

Later, when he prepares to give Yamamoto his test, Yamamoto assumes that he is supposed to fight him and defeats him while accidently injuring Colonnello. This results in Yamamoto's defeat, which is questioned by Tsuna. Ugetsu said that Tsuna already knows the answer. Ugetsu decides to give Yamamoto a second chance but warned him that there won't be a third. Yamamoto, however, passes the second round when he realized the true meaning of being the Guardian of the Rain. Yamamoto and Ugetsu got along very well after that; both stating they enjoyed battling each other. He gives his power to Yamamoto and states it will be useful when he's in a dire situation. He was later seen with G., who commented that he was too soft. He said to G. that Decimo's Family reminded him of the past with Primo's Family.

Later, at Namimori Shrine, he, along with the other Guardians and Primo, meets to discuss the trials so far, and the one that was yet to come. All of them look worried since the next trial would be Daemon Spade's succession test. .

The Guardians watch the trial from afar and consider interfering. However, Giotto stops them and asks them just to wait and watch.After Daemon's trial finished, he along with the other guardians and Giotto returned to the Vongola Rings.

Future Final Arc:

He appeared from Yamamoto's Vongola Ring during Tsuna's battle with Byakuran, along with Giotto and other guardians. He told Yamamoto and the others that they were always by their side and Tsuna was carrying their will.

Weapons and Abilities

Ugetsu Asari was a talented swordsman who was said to have no equal during his era. His battle prowess is so great that during the Inheritance Trial with Yamamoto, he made up all the techniques he used (which were all fairly powerful) on the spot to test Yamamoto.

Ugetsu Asari's Four Irregular Swords: The weapon used by Ugetsu Asari is comprised one long blade and three short Swords. It was said that the he replaced his musical instruments with a similar weapon in order to help the Vongola in a time of crisis.

Hisame 氷雨 (Frozen Rain): An attack that utilizes hardened Rain Flames. First seen when Ugetsu Asari battles Takeshi Yamamoto to test his resolve.

Kuzuryu Kawakuzure 九素竜 川嵌れ (Kuzuryu Riverfall): A Dragon made of Rain Flames. It was stated by Fon that Kuzuryu Riverfall was named after a nine-headed Dragon because of its swift current. Whilst using this attack, Asari's back was completely exposed, although he did this on purpose in order to test Yamamoto's resolve.

Taki No Mai 滝の舞 (Torrential Dance): Ugetsu Asari can create a torrent of Rain Flames to use as a screen that serves to mirror his image.

Jiguzagu U ジグザグ雨 (Zig-Zag Rain): Ugetsu Asari carefully imbues the edges of his sword to redirect/propel his attacks in any way he pleases. Usually done when momentum doesn't suit him, of after blatant missed strikes.

Dosha Buri 土砂降り(Downpour): Invoking a stronger pull of his rain flames, Ugetsu Asari can cause a downpour. Intensity and duration both regulated by his resolve, yet the effect remains the same. During the downpour, all of Asari's footsteps and actions are silenced. No matter how loud Asari can act up the sound to the opponent will translate to silence. In reverse, anyone but Asari, will have their actions' volumes almost doubled.
