Kankitsu Akitsuki

is Remon Yoimura's distant relative and fiancé.

Background
When they were little, Kankitsu and Remon grew up together. Sometime later, when Kankitsu reached the age of twenty, a curse mark appeared on his right palm. In order to subdue the curse for another hundred years, Kankitsu was ultimately betrothed to Remon. Following these events, Kankitsu began growing cold toward Remon.

Personality
It was noted that originally, Kankitsu was a very considerate and cheerful person, smiling when playing with Remon. Later, his positive nature was replaced by a cold and detached one. Taking a very authoritative attitude, he carried himself with the view of always knowing what is right. Even more, he was revealed to be a schemer, being very manipulative and amoral.

Appearance
Kankitsu has red shaggy hair and beige pupiless eyes. He wears a black business suit with a grey collared dress shirt and a light violet necktie.

Abilities
By unknown means, Kankitsu has the power of Sōma, able to produce a white aura from which he can steal one's memories upon physical contact. Alternatively, he can unleash his energy as blasts to steal people's memories from afar.

Konohamaru Arc
When he and Remon were continuing to prepare the wedding ritual, they were approached by Konohamaru Sarutobi and Boruto Uzumaki who previously befriended Remon in Konohagakure with the goal of returning her handkerchief. With hollow politeness, asked them to leave. Later, he had Remon confined to a small room, insisting that it was for her protection, and took her special hairclip. When he noticed that Asaki was growing suspicious of him, he approached her and wiped her memories. Later, he went to the sacred shrine that housed Sōma. Inside, he smirked at how things were going smoothly for his plans. He then prepared to destroy Remon's hairclip, but was stopped by Asaki, who knew the significance the ornament. Realising that handmaiden was a liability even without her recent memories, he decided to take care of her completely, manifesting the power of Sōma. Before he could act, Boruto appeared to defend her. Despite the genin's efforts, Kankitsu erased both their memories. However, Boruto, who had the hairclip at hand, retained consciousness and escaped the now-mysterious places. Kankitsu decided not to follow him as the hairclip was taking with the boy and thereby removed as a problem. Later, he told Remon they would move the wedding ritual to the following day.
