Kusanagi - Kusanagi is Kei'taro Straight sword. See 'Shoot to kill, Kusanagi' for it's abilities. He is quite capable of using the sword in sword fighting moments without the ability, combining his strength and speed.
Skills:
Strength: Due to living with Gorillas, he was able to emulate their strength. He is able to lift up to four hundred pounds before beginning to struggle. He is able to injure a man with a punch, and able to break bones if he applied full power. He was able to pull a tree out from the ground, but it took a bit of struggling to do.
Speed: Kei'Taro is able to reach speeds of up to sixty miles an hour, at a sprint, and 50 miles for an extended run. This comes from trying to keep up with various types of animals who were often on the move.
Intelligence: Kei'taro is not exactly a stupid man, he is just not technologically savvy. Being in the wild for most of his life, his knowledge comes from that and not the fancy leaps and bounds the world has made. He was surprised when he was tasked to hold on to an MP3 player from a guy he once fought. He still seeks to return it.
Transportation: In addition to running, Kei'taro is adept at swinging from vines, and swimming.
Martial Arts: Through studying animals, Kei'Taor has become very skilled at multiple types of animal based combat. He is most adept at the Wu Xing, but is also capable of using fighting styles based off different animals. It makes for an incredibly difficult fisticuffs bout with him.
Reflexes: Kei'taro is a very agile and reflex intensive man, able to catch a striking snake neck by the throat mid-strike and not get bit.
Hands and Feet: Kei'taro is adept at using either hand to wield his sword, or for any other activity. This extends to his feet as well. they aren't as useful as a monkey's, but he can make it work. His toes and fingers have exceptional gripping power.

Abilities:
Animal Tongue: Kei'taro is quite skilled at talking to and understanding any animal he comes into contact with.
Senses: Kei'taro possesses enhanced senses of smell, sight, touch, and hearing. He can see things in greater detail, and feel more textures when he touches something. He has twice as many scent glands as normal humans, but being around animals for most of his life has numbed him to the nastier scents of the world. He can hear things from a greater distance than humans, and at a lower volume. He can pick out specific individuals based off their voices at well.
Well Traveled: Kei'taro can survive in just about any environment that isn't outright death causing, due to his many travels in search of animals. He is not, however, very capable of handling the extremes of temperatures though, and even has his own limit. He was able to survive in the Volanic Lands and the Winter Wonderland without any debiliating effects. Because of this, he can pick out edible foods, and poisonous ones at a glance. He is great at directions.
Hunter-Tracker: Despite his love for animals, the man has to eat, and so he became very adept at hunting things based off prints and excrement. He doesn't kill baby animals nor the females of the group. He takes care to only hunt the weaker males as well.

Magic:
[Indent]Kei'Taro has a particular brand of magic which is evoked via tattoos called Bestial Keys. These Keys are gained from animals that have them, after a test relating to the animal or ability. There are an unknown number of these, and Kei'Taro is constantly searching, though seems to have an innate ability to sort of happen upon them, such is the case for his Spirit Animal, and first Bestial Key, RyuKyu. They glow so long as they hold a charge, and continue to glow while in use.
The tattoo's etch themselves on Kei'Taro, except for Kusanagi and RyuKyu, which take the form of his sword, and spirit animal, respectively. They each have their own personality, as it relates to Kei'Taro, some are extremely loyal - like RyuKyu, and some are willing to jump ship if able, like Eight Legged Spider.
For every charge they have before activating, Kei'Taro can control the tattoo's for that many turns, until he gets to three charges. Once he gets the third charge, then he is granted an extra turn of manipulation.
He can have multiple tattoo's charged, but cannot charge more than one per turn. While this gives him access to a wider array of moves on the fly, it also means they'll be lower in strength than if he focused on one.
