Recca is a super-powered teen who is obsessed with ninjas, unaware that he is one himself. Being a descendant of the Hokage, Recca has the ability to create Fire. The adopted son of a fireworks manufacturer, he sometimes employs small incendiary devices or smoke bombs in combination with his elemental power to distract his enemies. Recca is quick to test his strength and is especially persistent when defending his love, Yanagi Sakoshita. Recca may be cocky and overconfident, but manages to save his friends due to his ninja skills. Recca's flame power differs fundamentally from that of his allies and enemies; in that, it is innate to his being and thus does not require the use of an elemental item. However, he wears a Tekkou, or armband, to control his flame power. He would be burned by his own flame if he removes it. Recca must train his body to with stand his flame without the Tekkou before he can use his real flame power. He has eight Karyu, or Flame Dragons. These Flame Dragons are the spirits of Recca's ancestors and flame masters of the past. The names of the Flame Dragons are Saiha, Nadare, Homura, Setsuna, Madoka, Rui, Kokuu and Resshin. Every one of the Flame Dragons have their own personalities and powers. They lend Recca their powers whenever he needs it. Before Rekka could use their powers, He must prove to them that he deserves to be their master. He acquired the 7 Flame Dragons except Resshin, the 8th Flame Dragon. Resshin is actually the spirit of Recca and Kurei's biological father, Ohka. In the manga, eventually he achieved Resshin's power after Yanagi's soul was being absorbed by Tendou Jigkou.
