Background: Lost his parents around age 8 and was passed around between relatives until he met Kanko (Umibozu) and Kouka while they were visiting Earth, who adopted him. Kamui was born about six months after he was adopted, and Kagura was born four years after that. Kouka fell ill around the time she gave birth to Kagura. During that period, Kanko was rarely home due to work, so Ren, Kamui, Kagura, and Kouka lived together. To prevent Kouka's condition from worsening, Ren took care of Kagura (around age 4) and Kamui (around age 8) while nursing Kouka. A short while later, Kamui tried to kill Kanko, and they fought to the death. Kagura frantically called for Ren, and while stopping the fight, he lost his left eye and was left with scars all over his body from the intervention. Afterward, Kamui joined the Harusame. Ren continued to look after Kagura. Kouka passed away from her illness. About 10 years later, when Kagura was 14, she said she "wanted to go to Earth," so he came to Earth with her.
