Ogata is an immigrant from Japan, a young ex-soldier. He survives in America during the frontier era with all its charm—frequent fights, sheriffs, bounty hunters, etc., as best as he can. He is a “closed book” to everyone, readily engages in violence without actively seeking it out. Seeks to prove his own worth and prove that it is the world as a whole that is flawed rather than just him. Dislikes any form of emotional vulnerability or dependency and incompetence; likes guns and fishing.
