“Before, I fought only for my country. For duty. But that has changed since I met Lord/Lady Corrin. I now fight for my companions, regardless of what kingdom they call home. I have found it is easier to give my life for people than to give it for duty.”
—Kaze in a support conversation with Xander

Kaze is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is a Ninja from Hoshido. Unlike his older twin brother Saizo, he accompanies Corrin regardless of their decision.

Profile[]

Kaze and his older twin brother, Saizo, are members of a ninja clan from Igasato that has proudly served the Hoshidan royal family for several generations. Trained from a young age, Kaze became an exemplary ninja. Some time in their past, their father, Saizo the Fourth, was killed by Kotaro in an unexplained incident. His older brother became the new head of their clan, taking up the name Saizo. While Saizo was more vindictive in seeking retribution on his father's assailant, Kaze was more coolheaded. Still, Kaze pledged to support his brother to help him take down their father's killer. If Kaze achieves an S-Support, he will have a daughter named Midori with his wife; if he marries Female Corrin or Azura, he will be the father of Kana/ Shigure.

When he was little, Kaze accompanied Sumeragi and his subordinates during the trip to Nohr. One night, he spotted several suspicious Nohrian soldiers. However, he did not know what they were going to do and did not report the incident. Consequently, Sumeragi was killed and Corrin was kidnapped. Since that night, he felt that if he reported them, he might have prevented the tragedy. As a result, he promised himself not to pledge loyalty until he serves Corrin, and swore to protect Corrin to repent for his mistake. Kaze believes Mikoto may have foreseen her child's return and arranged things so that Kaze could fulfill this pledge.

Prologue[]

Before the beginning of Fates, Kaze and Rinkah were captured by Nohrian soldiers. Alongside a few other Hoshido soldiers, they are brought before King Garon in order to test Corrin's loyalty to Nohr by executing them. He is surprised to hear Corrin's name but focuses on the battle first. After a harsh battle, Kaze and Rinkah are gravely wounded, but Corrin chooses to spare them. Garon does not approve and immediately demands Corrin execute them, but thanks to a deception by Leo, the two barely survive. After recovering, Xander tells the two to leave Nohr immediately before Garon finds out.

After Lilith returns Corrin back to the Bottomless Canyon, they are knocked out by Rinkah, who mistakenly believes they are a random Nohrian soldier. After they regain their senses, Rinkah realizes that they are also of Hoshidan descent. Kaze appears, telling them of their true origins and brings them to Castle Shirasagi, where they are reunited with their birth mother, Queen Mikoto. On the way, he, Rinkah and Corrin help Ryoma lead a rescue effort to save Sakura and Hinoka from being killed by a group of Faceless.

Returning to Castle Shirasagi, Kaze accompanies Corrin as they are guided through Shirasagi Castle Town. Suddenly, a mysterious hooded figure appears and uses Corrin's Ganglari to induce a large explosion, killing numerous Hoshidans as well as Queen Mikoto. Corrin degenerates into their dragon form and Kaze helps to repel invisible enemies and the mysterious hooded man. With the death of the queen, the barrier protecting Hoshido from Nohrian conflict dissipates. At the Plains of Hoshido, the Nohrian and Hoshidan armies meet and Corrin has to make a choice on which side to join. In Birthright, Kaze remains in Corrin's army while in Conquest and Revelation, he temporarily leaves their army and rejoins later.

Birthright[]

Should Corrin choose to remain with the Hoshidan Royal Siblings, Kaze remains in the army.

In Chapter 8, Kaze and his allies cross though the Eternal Stairway to get through the Wind Tribe. Corrin complains about how long the staircase is and groans when they are notified that they're only halfway through it. Suddenly, Faceless ambush the Hoshidans. Kaze and Corrin kill the Faceless, only for the magic to drop and reveal them as Wind Tribe members. Iago teleports in, mocks the Hoshidans, knowing he can plot against them with Corrin on the Hoshido side and then teleports out to prevent the Wind Tribe from finding out that it was a ruse.

In Chapter 9, Kaze, Hinoka, Sakura and Corrin are invited into the palace of Izumo by Izana. When Izana, revealed to be Zola in disguise, lures Corrin and Sakura into a trap, Hinoka, along with Kaze and Azura, manage to save them after she comes to the realization that Izana's eccentric mannerisms are antithetical to his royal status. However, her theory is proven wrong when they meet the real Izana, who acts in exactly the way Zola has portrayed him.

In Chapter 10, Kaze and Corrin's army enter Mokushu and are ambushed by Kotaro and are forced to fight him. During this, the group are reunited with Takumi, who unexpectedly emerges while they are in the midst of engaging Kotaro in battle. Much to their immense horror, Takumi, in a hostile reverie, launches attacks on his allies. Fortunately, Azura manages to intervene by serenading a song to calm Takumi's mind and guide him back to his senses.

In Chapter 15, Kaze watches from the shadows as Corrin talks with Keaton. Keaton then attacks Corrin after an explosion kills one of his friends, believing that Corrin was responsible for it despite their protests. Kaze dashes out from the shadows and blocks Keaton's first attack, but is hurt when he is attacked by him again.

At the end of the chapter, Kaze talks with Corrin, but the ground below them shakes violently and the ground Corrin is on breaks off, causing them to fall into the chasm. Kaze will leap after them and grab them, but the two are now dangling over the edge. Depending on their Support Rank at this moment, two different scenarios occur.

  • If they have not obtained at least an A-Support Rank with Corrin prior to this chapter, Kaze will throw Corrin to Hinoka before falling into the canyon to his death. Crushed by Kaze's sacrifice, Corrin mourns his death, but knows that they need to move on. Kaze cannot be used in any future chapters as a result, and Midori's Chapter cannot be unlocked.
  • If they have achieved at least an A-Support Rank with Corrin, Kaze notices a crystal and throws a shuriken at it, hoping that it is an explosive one. The resulting explosion hurls them both to safety. Grateful for Kaze's rescue, their bond is fortified and the army moves on to Nohr. Kaze survives as a result, and therefore can be used in any future chapters. If Kaze has achieved an S-Support rank, Midori's chapter will be unlocked.

Conquest[]

Shocked by Corrin's intention to return to Nohr, Kaze remains loyal to Hoshido and does not follow them.

Kaze returns in Chapter 11, working with Hinoka to prevent the Nohrian forces from seeking the Rainbow Sage, initially believing that Corrin wanted to destroy Hoshido. After the Hoshidan troops are routed from the area and Hinoka and Rinkah retreats, Kaze stayed behind and eavesdrops on Corrin's conversation with Camilla. Upon hearing their words, he realizes that Corrin remained with Nohr not to destroy Hoshido, but to prevent the vicious cycle of death and requests to join because of their pure intentions. Though he knew that he would be branded a traitor back home, he does not regret his choice and Corrin welcomes him to the group.

In Chapter 12, Kaze can be deployed to fight his brother Saizo. If the two battle each other, Saizo accuses his brother of being a traitor, but Kaze shows no remorse for joining Corrin and stands by his decision, but Saizo calls him a fool and vows to show him the error of his ways. Despite the best efforts of the Hoshidan army, Saizo and the rest of the army is forced to retreat.

Kaze is involved in Chapter 17, where he and Corrin encounter Kotaro. He leads Corrin into a secret area to allow the Nohrian army to invade Hoshido, and then proceeds to put up an innocent façade by claiming that Hoshido has consistently attacked them for having relations with Nohr. Saizo attempts to attack Corrin, but his attack is blocked by Kaze. Saizo is enraged that his brother is helping their father's killer. Confused by what he meant, Saizo reveals to them that Kotaro had killed their father and captured Kagero in hopes of having the Hoshidan army halt their attacks. Kotaro later appears and applauds Corrin for catching Saizo. Corrin later asks to search Kotaro's jail cells, not fully believing him. Kotaro reveals that he had captured Kagero, and states that he does not really care and decides to kill the Nohrian royal family so his goals can be achieved. Kaze helps Corrin fight Mokushujin forces that had arrived.

At the end of the battle, Kaze apologizes to Saizo, unaware of Kotaro's role in killing their father as he was told that he died in the line of duty, though Saizo knew the truth. Corrin finds and frees Kagero. Kagero is surprised that Saizo would stoop so low as ally with Corrin to free her. Saizo responds that Corrin's army had arrived by chance. He then leaves with Kagero to return to Ryoma, but warns Corrin that when they cross path again, it will be as enemies and won't hold back. Corrin and Kaze talk about how Corrin's decision to side with Nohr impacted Kaze, revealing that a different choice might have had Kaze and Saizo fighting side by side; Kaze states that there's no telling how that decision might have turned out, but also states that Corrin may have made the right decision as it actually transpired and that both sides know they're fighting for what they believe in. Should Saizo survive the battle, Kaze gives Corrin a Speedwing, stating that it is Saizo's way of saying thanks but also as a warning sign that their fight is not over yet.

Kaze subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to the age-old conflict shared between Hoshido and Nohr. After the war is over, he attends Xander's coronation.

Revelation[]

Anna fates portrait
"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

After Corrin infiltrates Fort Jinya in Chapter 8, Saizo decides to blow himself up in order to kill Corrin. However, Kaze and Sakura stop Saizo, believing in Corrin's story as they know their character well. Kaze places his trust in them because they spared him from execution when he was captured by Nohr. Kaze voices his allegiance to Corrin and Saizo accepts his brother's resolve, allowing Corrin, Kaze, and the rest of their group to leave unopposed.

In Chapter 11, as Corrin's small party passes through Mokushu, Corrin spots a plume of smoke in the distance, which Kaze realizes it is his brother's smoke signal. He initially tries to persuade Corrin to leave his brother as the smoke signal was to warn allies to stay away, not asking for help. Corrin is surprised that Kaze would be willing to abandon his brother, and knowing that they need as much allies as they can gather, charges in to save Saizo, much to Kaze's shock, knowing they're putting themselves at risks, but agrees to their methods. Kaze soon protects Takumi from a Mokushujin ninja's shuriken.

Kaze subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to Anankos' machinations. He resumes his service for Hoshido and Corrin from the shadows thereafter, with his gentle nature making him popular among women. If he marries Female Corrin, he will become the King of Valla.

Paralogue[]

In Paralogue 6, Kaze, in hopes of getting herbs from his daughter, Midori, goes to meet with her as she leaves her Deeprealm, only to find her being hassled by a ruffian. Kaze makes an appearance and swiftly kills the would-be thief. Happy to see her father, Midori tells him that she had retrieved the herbs. However, as she searches her gear, she finds that the herbs are missing. Desperate to find them, Midori runs off and encounters Candace, who had swiped her herbs. Thankfully, Kaze and the army take Candace down and retrieve the stolen goods. After the battle, Kaze scolds Midori for putting her life in danger for the herbs, but she tells him that she was desperate to retrieve them because the Dragon Herb could supposedly grant wishes. Kaze still believes that it would have been better to wait for the herbs to grow again a year later, as they are not worth losing her life, but Midori wanted to prove that she was useful, rather than waiting a year to do so and she disliked being away from him in her Deeprealm. Realizing that he did not fully understand his daughter, Kaze apologizes for leaving her by herself for so long and decides to bring Midori into the army. Happy, Midori finally has the wish she had hoped to fulfill with the herbs: spending more time with her father.

Personality[]

Unlike his more passionate, hot-blooded older twin brother, Kaze is much more cool-headed. No matter the situation, heremains unfazed and calm, even in the face of danger or against some of the more abrasive members of the army. He is hard to faze and can even handle some of the more wily members of the army, such as his immunity to Charlotte's flirting and being able to maintain a calm disposition against Selena's snark.

Kaze is also known to be deeply loyal to the people whom he respects. This is best evidenced through his relationship with Corrin, where, as a result of admiring their vision to reign peace upon the continent, he swears fealty to them and becomes their retainer in their A support conversation. He is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their sake in Birthright to save them in exchange for his own life. On the Conquest route, this fact is best exemplified through Kaze's radical decision to pledge his allegiance to Corrin upon learning of their idealistic vision, despite being well aware that he will be branded as a traitor by Hoshido.

In his supports with Corrin, it is revealed that Kaze is very popular with women. He often receives gifts from them, a fact that is usually a reciprocal gesture as a means to repay the favors that he performs for them. His popularity with women stems from his demeanor of politeness and benevolence, although he is blissfully unaware of the charms that he possesses. This lack of awareness over his charisma could be entirely attributed to Kaze's inclination to be humble; through his Private Quarters lines, it is revealed that he thinks rather poorly of himself, asserting that he is not very attractive and that he and his twin brother lack any resemblance. Kaze's display of humility over his personal attractions in turn lends credence to his bewildered obliviousness over his popularity with women.

He is the most well-liked member in the army, as he is gentle and considerate of people whenever helping others, such as aiding Sakura find a doll but not mocking her for having it, but can also be rather lighthearted and even teasing at times, such as poking fun at Rinkah lying over wanting sweets.

Base Class Set[]

Kaze's stats befit the strengths of his Ninja base. He has extremely high Speed and Skill, befitting the Abel archetype while his brother Saizo is the Cain of the game. Curiously, he has a pretty solid Resistance growth, good for taking down Mages as shurikens also have a weapon advantage against Tomes. His Strength is slightly below average and his Defense and Luck are abysmal. This makes Bows a strong counter for him, as most Ninjas are, so he should avoid them at all cost. That aside, Kaze can utilize his strong Speed and Skill to launch Critical hits or land Shuriken attacks to weaken enemies for other units to kill. Kaze's personal skill is Miraculous Save, which essentially grants the unit that he supports in battle Miracle, making him a worthwhile partner if the player's luck is solid enough to have it activate in a pinch.

Kaze starts off with Locktouch, allowing him to open locked doors and chests without keys. In Birthright and Revelation, he will be the first unit recruited with the skill. In Conquest, Niles will be the first. While good through the story in certain situations, it can be abandoned later for better skills. Once Kaze reaches level 10, he will learn Poison Strike, which reduces the enemy's current health by 20% after a battle with him. This can help to reduce the health of high Defense targets like Knights to kill them much quicker.

His two promotions are Master Ninja and Mechanist. Master Ninja barely changes his stat growths aside from a slightly higher Resistance growth and provides him with the ability to use Swords, giving him access to Armorslayers and Wyrmslayers, two weapons good against high Defense classes. He learns Lethality, an instant kill skill, though its activation is incredibly low, making it more of a gamble to equip it, especially when needing it in a pinch. Shurikenfaire increases his Shuriken damage, which gives him that damage boost he needs to kill units on his own. Mechanist focuses on mobility and trades some of his Speed and Skill for more Strength. Golembane is used to damage Stoneborn and Puppet units, though because of its selectiveness for its damage, it may not be nearly as useful as some of his other skills. Replicate is a good utility skill, though the player will need to use proper management to avoid careless deaths.

Secondary Class[]

Kaze's secondary class is Samurai , which compliments his stat growths due to the high Speed and Skill of this class. From this class, he can learn Vantage and Duelist's Blow. Vantage is particularly useful, given that he can attack in the 1-2 tile range with shuriken, allowing him to potentially kill an enemy before he himself is. Duelist's Blow increases his avoid when he starts a battle, which makes his initiated combat a little safer.

The Samurai's two promotions are Swordmaster and Master of Arms. Swordmaster provides Astra, a more reliable attacking skill than Lethality, which can help fill a Guard Stance gauge or attack an enemy enough times to kill them or significantly wound them. Swordfaire can be used for more sword strength in his Master Ninja class if needed. Master of Arms provides Seal Strength, which reduces the Strength of enemies attacked, making them safer to engage by other allies. Life and Death is a risky skill, increasing his damage output by 10, but also increasing the opponents damage output the same amount. If willing to make riskier tactics, consider this skill to give Kaze the needed guaranteed damage to finish off foes.

Buddy Class[]

Kaze has one Buddy Class which comes from either Silas or Xander. Saizo can be chosen as his Buddy, but he gains no new class from him.

  • Xander/Silas: Given that Kaze only has one class option, choosing either Silas or Xander is worth taking for a few extra skills from Cavalier. Cavalier gives him Elbow Room, boosting his damage in the open tiles with no terrain bonuses by 3. Shelter can be used to rescue heavily damaged allies. Paladin provides Defender, boosting his stats when in a Guard Stance and Aegis to shave off damage from distance weapons. Great Knight provides Luna which halves the enemies' defenses when he attacks, good for high Defense targets, and Armored Blow, reducing his taken damage by 10 when he attacks an enemy. This skill syncs well with Life and Death as it neutralizes the enemy's damage bonus, though only on the player's turn.
Marriage Options[]
  • Corrin: Female Corrin has the option of passing Kaze classes he otherwise could not have. Some notable options include Wyvern Rider in Birthright or Spear Fighter in Conquest. For more information, see below.
  • Beruka/Camilla: Camilla allows Kaze access to Wyvern Rider, along with its promotions, Wyvern Lord and Malig Knight. From Wyvern Rider, Kaze can learn Strength +2 and Lunge, although Strength +2 wears out as he levels up and Lunge is almost useless in any scenario. From Wyvern Lord, he can learn Rally Defense, although this will be his only Rally skill. Swordbreaker allows him to deal with accurate sword users like Swordmasters better. From Malig Knight, Kaze can learn Trample and Savage Blow. Trample will further increase his damage by 5 (which can stack to a total of 20 with Life and Death and Shuriken/Swordfaire). Savage Blow makes Kaze an especially dangerous unit as he will chip off 40% of his primary target's health and 20% off those in two tiles or less from him.
  • Rinkah: Rinkah provides Oni Savage and its promotions, Oni Chieftain and Blacksmith. Oni Savage provides Seal Resistance for another stat reduction skill and Shove to move allies from danger after their turn is completed. Oni Chieftain provides Death Blow, increasing his Critical hit chance during his turn, reaching as high as 60% during the player's turn using an unforged Barb Shuriken. Counter can be used to retaliate with pure damage should he be hit by a close quarter weapon during the enemy's turn. Blacksmith allows Kaze to learn Salvage Blow, although this is almost useless to him due to Ghostly Gold DLC and the fact that this is only offered in Birthright and Revelation, both which have skirmishes where gold can be obtained; in addition, Kaze's Luck is generally too low to effectively activate luck-based skills. Lancebreaker assists Kaze as it allows him to safely engage against lance users, which often have high strength stats.
  • Nyx: Nyx gives Kaze access to Dark Mage and its promotions, Dark Knight and Sorcerer. For the most part, his low Magic growth makes him unsuitable for the class, but there are niches with the class' entailing skills. Dark Mage's Heartseeker reduces adjacent enemy avoid, allowing Kaze to easily tag them with Shuriken to apply his debuffs. Sorcerer has Vengeance, allowing him to apply more damage to his Shuriken attacks the more hurt he is. With a decent HP growth, the skill is viable thanks to its high activation rate, but leaving him injured may be a cost that needs to be weighed when using. Due to his weakness to Bow wielders, the Sorcerer's Bowbreaker class alleviates the threat of Sniper units and other high skill wielding bow users and is a great skill to have. Dark Knight has Seal Magic to guarantee that he can cripple mage characters, especially when his Shuriken has a weapon advantage over them, and Lifetaker for a great regeneration skill so long as he can eliminate his opponent.
  • Effie: Effie offers Kaze Knight and its promotions, Great Knight and General. Defense +2 is largely useless, as the boost is too minor to make a difference. Natural Cover gives him a slight damage reduction when fighting in an area with a terrain effect, helpful as Master Ninja can move more easily through wooded tiles. Great Knight skills have already been covered in the section for Xander. General offers Wary Fighter, which Kaze should absolutely not equip as it negates his excellent Speed. Conversely, Pavise helps patch up his low Defense, and he should trigger it often with his high Skill.
  • Oboro: Oboro offers Kaze Spear Fighter and its promotions, Sentinel and Basara. Seal Defense is a helpful skill for Kaze, working nicely with Poison Strike to make any foe he can't finish off an easy target. Swap is situational, but can help him escape an enemy trap. Seal Speed in combination with Seal Defense and Poison Strike make any foe Kaze can't kill in one round an easy target. Lancefaire is largely useless on him, as there is no class that uses both Shurikens and Lances. Basara offers Rend Heaven, an extremely useful skill to help him deal more damage. He should trigger it often with his high Skill. Quixotic is a risky skill, which reduces his dodging capabilities, but it gives him a higher chance to trigger his native Lethality, Astra and Rend Heaven.
