Kage is the last surviving member of the Shadow clan and Bojji's most loyal companion. He acts as both protector and voice of reason throughout their journey.
On the surface, Kage comes across as a hardened thief with a rough exterior—a persona shaped by years of abuse and uncertainty. But it's mostly an act. Underneath, he's genuinely empathetic and kind, though life taught him to keep those qualities hidden. Meeting Bojji changed that. Something about the guy's kindness and vulnerability broke through Kage's walls, and he dropped the pretense entirely, committing himself as a faithful friend.
The dynamic between them works because Kage brings street smarts and skepticism to balance Bojji's more naive optimism. He's worldly in ways Bojji simply isn't, which makes him essential to keeping the two of them alive on the road. Fans often note that beneath all his gruffness, Kage's loyalty is absolute—he'll call Bojji out when he needs it, but he's got his back no matter what.
