Been in a bad/miserable mood this week and the next chapter(s) of SolAka, which I have decided to work on next,will be held back until I feel better. I know, may seem laughable since it sometimes takes me three months just to get a single chapter done. I am having difficulties in gaining work and writing online fiction takes too much of my time.
How about I share what I typed for my WIKIA?

MGW created the Koga ninja Kyoushirou to be a foil character to Shoutarou, while his family [The Kousaka] serve as a flat antithesis to the Iga ninja. In the story, Kyoushirou is the straight no-nonsense type filled with pride, looks focused and strong, and will do anything to achieve victory, while Shoutarou is and looks the cowardly type who believes in far-fetched harmony. Also, Kyou is designed to be filled with personal resent towards the Iga and Nobunaga Oda, while having a strong sense of human morality.
There was a ninja name Jinnai Kousaka (高坂 甚内) who served the Takeda family during the Edo period. He was in charge of civil order and was responsible for rallying and executing Kotaro Fuuma and his thief gang. However, the Tokugawa turned Jinnai away for some reason. Kyoushirou's surname was not originally derived from Jinnai and was created out of a coincidence. The only difference in Jinnai and Kyou's last names is the second Chinese letter, both meaning "hill" (saka). Ko" means "high", giving the surname the literal meaning of "high hill".
To further fulfill Kyoushirou's strong character, MGW aimed for a strong meaning behind his name. "Kyō" means gorge; "shi" means samurai or soldier; "rō" means gentleman (and commonly used as a suffix of men’s names).
