Overview

Hideo is one of the last descendants of the Masamune clan of blacksmiths, famous for his "non-standard" methods of magical smithing. As a young and brilliantly talented enchanter, he was arrogant and his arrogance led to him making some powerful enemies back home. Masamune eventually emigrated to UCAS to start fresh. He set up a small sushi restaurant in Seattle called "Bamboo House" and married an American woman, finally settling down in his new home with kids and all. Hideo is a proud American and well to do small business owner. But behind this cover he is still a brilliant mana forger who's services are available to those who are worthy of his craftsmanship.
