*Hotaru is a rather hot-blooded individual. He seems to show very little care, if any, about anything besides the swords he creates. His passion for swords is so strong that he would be able to speak about them for long periods of time, a trait unique even among other swordsmiths The same passion that gives him the enthusiasm and extreme dedication in creating swords is also the reason why he is easily enraged towards swordsmen that break his creations, to calm him, pin him down or tickle him*
