About me: Though he was born in Japan, Ban's mother rejected him when his powers manifested itself and she had a breakdown. Ban's father left, and sent Ban to live with his Grandmother in Germany. Ban lived for several years in and across Europe. As the heir, Ban was constantly hunted by shamans, the arch enemies of the witch-clan. In Germany he made friends with Natsuhiko Miroku and his family. Some time after Aris Miroku's death, to hide Ban from the Shamans, he was declared dead, and was sent back to Japan with Maria. Ban was 8 years old at the time, and after a while he ran away from Maria and lived on the streets. The young Ban did "ANYTHING" in order to survive. Ban learned how to fight as a child, and he is a genius. Before he was eight he was learning about magic, chemistry, history, and physics; he was self-taught and learnt most of it from books. The first impression one usually gets of Ban would be that he is a rude person with a great sense of pride. Despite this, he is actually a kind person with a strong sense of leadership and a very talented person. He is one quarter German and the grandchild of the "Last Witch of the 20th Century" which might refer to his name Ban translated means final. Although seemingly rude, impatient, and cocky, Ban is decidedly a mysterious person behind his less eloquent personality. As a "combat genius", Ban is very intelligent, having studied fighting techniques, science, history, and magic from a very young age as a result of being hunted in Europe by shamans during childhood, and surprises everyone with his knowledge more often than not. Ban is shown to be an excellent violin player as well.
