Jin Kuzuhara

Jin Kuzuhara (葛原 仁, Kuzuhara Jin) is one of the main characters in miniseries Joran: The Princess of Snow and Blood. He is the one who controls and directs Nue and its executioners.

Appearance
Jin has a very large build, his height and broad frame makes him stand out against his piers. His warm yellow eyes and midnight mid-length black hair contrast each other. But both stand out against his fair skin showing no signs of aging. His relaxed face is a scowl often giving him the constant appearance of anger or being annoyed. His attire is very fashionable often layering neutral colors over each other which is seen in his usual dress which is a cream dress shirt, a green-gray tie underlying a brown vest and black trench coach paired with a pair of black slacks.

Personality
Jin is very stern and serious. Tries not to let his emotions get in the way but little does he realise that he is very emotion driven when it comes to certain topics and people. He has empathy for others as displayed in his backstory in episode 10 but he tends to put on an emotionless facade.

Abilities
Skilled in combat. He is also very wise and intelligent when it comes to being an executioner.

Synopsis
Jin is also responsible for secretly disposing of executioners who have outlived their usefulness or who have the potential to commit treason. He is taught that his value in life is to protect Yoshinobu Tokugawa.

In Episode 6, however, it is shown that he does not quite agree with his violent measures.

Trivia

 * It is revealed that he was the one who had murdered young Sawa's parents and the rest of their "clan of the blue blood", despite the fact that he was in love with her mother.
