Kaname Kugatachi

Kaname Kugatachi (久賀舘 要), also known as Freya, was the Third Fist of Ragnarok and

a user of Kugatachi Style jōjutsu. She joined Ragnarok in order to learn techniques from Ogata, but she never met him. Freya has her own personal attack team called The Valkyries and believes that in order for women to be as strong as men, they have to resort to using weapons. She is a First Year College Student and the Instructor of Kugatachi Jou-Jutsu Dojo.

Background

She was born on the day of March 3rd. Kaname trained at her family's dojo as a student of her grandfather ever since she was a little kid. During this time, she develops her skills as a martial artist and also develops her belief that in order for women to be as strong as men, they have to resort to using weapons. The exact reasoning for this belief has yet to be revealed. Sometime before Kenichi entered Ryozanpaku, Kaname began street fighting as a way to make her belief a reality. During this time, she meets Ryuto Asamiya and learns about his master Ogata Isshinsai. Interested in learning more about Ogata, Kaname agreed to join Ryuto in his pursuit of creating a new organization of fighters. She, along with Ryuto and Shougo Kitsukawa became the founding members of Ragnarok, helping in the overall creation of what becomes the Eight Fists.

During her time in Ragnarok, Kaname gathers a group of girls who shares her belief in weapons, and begins training them in the use of various weapons, dubbing them "The Valkyries". During her time training the Valkyries, she one day comes across a young Kisara Nanjo, and after saving her from a group of thugs, she takes an interest in her and recruits her into Ragnarok as the newest member of the Valkyries. According to Kaname, one day as a member of the Valkryies, Kisara was ambushed by a group of gang members and left behind to fight them by herself, and by the time Freya and the other valkyries showed up, she defeated them singlehandedly, but then started attacking them instead and had to be restrained till she calmed down.

As time passes, she grows quite fond of Kisara, making Kisara her number one apprentice, till the day she finally decided to make Kisara pick a weapon of her own. She defies Freya's suggestion to pick a weapon to fight with, opting to use her legs instead, and eventually decides to leave the Valkyries to start her own gang within Ragnarok, independently aiming to become one of Strongest members of Ragnarok instead of being what she believes Freya wanted her to be.

After this, her relationship with Kisara becomes quite more staggered than before, rarely seeing her anymore and practically losing touch with her. Kisara's goal of reaching the top of Ragnarok eventually becomes true, as she is welcomed as the eighth and final member of the Eight Fists.
