The Yanagawa Clan
According to the history of the Yanagawa clan, they originally used both water and lightning-based techniques, but over time, the use of water-based jutsu dissipated to nearly nothing, and now there are very, very few members of the clan that still practice the art of water techniques. The current generation of Yanagawa are still taught small, rather useless water jutsu for the soul purpose of keeping their history alive. Lightning techniques are the primary jutsu used today.
Yanagawa Kohana
Fighting Style: Kohana's fighting style is not really fluid or organized in any way. She normally concentrates more on slower, more powerful blows to certain areas of the body (solar plexus, nose, neck, knee area, lower back, etc...), though she can be fast if that is what is necessary in order to defeat an enemy. Most members of the Yanagawa clan have naturally high chakra levels, but never seem to realize their own power until later in life, after vigorous amounts of training.
During battle, Kohana, like many of her kin, prefers to conserve most of her chakra for an ultimate finishing move, very rarely using normal jutsu during battle. It's either smaller, defensive jutsu, not requiring large amounts of chakra, or great, powerful jutsu that require enormous amounts of chakra, capable of taking out more than on enemy at a time.
She is weak against earth-based techniques, strong against water, and pretty neutral with fire and wind-based techniques.
Specializes more in nin- and taijutsu rather than genjutsu.
Techniques
Denkousekka no Jutsu: (Lightning Speed) = [family]
~ This jutsu is, basically, a teleport jutsu. With small amounts of chakra, Kohana is able to flash anywhere she wants, at most anytime, with the speed at which lightning travels (93,000 miles per second). This technique is great in battle, for making quick escapes or ambushing an enemy from behind. The user can transfer other people with them, which can also be very useful.
Kohana often uses the technique in her everyday life...from going to the store to getting to meetings with her team on time, since she has a habit of oversleeping.
Genkai Makuden: (Sheet Lightning Barrier) = [family]
~ This technique, a powerful defense jutsu, is created by concentrating and molding chakra into a nigh-unpenetrable shield. Once the shield is up, nothing organic (including humans) can penetrate it without getting SEVERELY burned. It is lightning afterall. The same goes with inorganic objects, i.e. kunai, shuriken, etc... They can penetrate it, however, they really slow down in the process of passing through the barrier.
Normally, small amounts of chakra are used, but in some cases, larger amounts are used, like when making the shield bigger, or, when ensuring that absolutely nothing can penetrate it.
Raimei Doroppukikku: (Thunder Dropkick) =
~ Kohana developed this jutsu herself, using the same principle as her brother's Raimei Sentou (Thunder Punch). Basically, chakra is concentrated into the feet, and is expelled with a great force, as electricity into the enemy's body on contact.
Rakurai Tooriame: (Shower of Thunderbolts) =
~ Kohana developed this technique on her own while training by herself. It's very similar to the Raijin Naruto (explained next), in that it involves charged chakra being released into the air, then showers down from the sky in hundreds of smaller lightning bolts. Though, it is different, in that this technique only uses electrically charged chakra. It is way less powerful than the Raijin Naruto, and used normally to weaken enemies instead of knock them out....or kill them.
Raijin Naruto: (Maelstrom of the Thunder God) = [Unlearned]
~ The Raijin Naruto was created by Kohana's cousin, Yanagawa Miyuki, back when she was a young Chuunin. Up until this point, she has been the only member of the clan to perform it, though Kohana has shown great potential for learning this deadly technique.
The Raijin Naruto involves ENORMOUS amounts of negatively charged chakra being released into the air near the ground and surrounding any enemies within range. Actual positive lightning is summoned from the clouds to strike down enemies with a simple snap of the fingers. These bolts of ultra-high voltage lightning have a longer duration period and fires are very likely to start.
When Kohana is in the process of conjuring the Raijin Naruto, her eyes turn white, and purple tinted lighting begins to emit from her entire body. She is pretty much glowing. The bandages on her arms with unravel, allowing for chakra to escape into the air.
That's all I have for now! ^_^
