⚠️Mild nudity⚠️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve finished it 2 months ago but forgot to post it -_-
Venting down here. Feel free to skip!
The main idea is to make a contrast between the two crossdresser twins. I stripped their chest intentionally to indicate their ture identity with their contrast action to it. Kaoru wearing woman’s makeup while Chizuru wearing men’s hairstyle.
This was supposed to be colored at first, but coloring only make Kaoru looks weirdly innocent for an unknown reason. 🙄 I didn’t want to change the lineart in favor of the color so I tried every color tone possible but neither of them worked. Tbh, it’s a little disappointing after a long plan with so much hopes and effort 😭
But as long as Chizuru looks fine to me, it’s all good.

What is Kaorus real name?
Of course we know he is Chizurus twin brother, so before entering the Nagumo family he was definitely going by the name Yukimura.
But what about his first name?
Here are some arguments, why I believe it's not Kaoru by birth:
1) twin names are usually given in pairs, e.g. Kin and Gin or Nanako and Hanako or such
2) all demon heir names start with the syllable 千 (Chikage, Chizuru, O-Sen)
3) 薫 means "send forth fragrance, fragant or be scented" which by no means is associated with cranes (千鶴 "Thousand cranes")
So from this I concluded after some research his name might actually be "Chifuyu" (千冬)
To case 1:
Chizuru Chifuyu -> Chi[...]u[...]u
To case 2:
It starts with Chi as Chizuru does
To case 3:
Cranes are associated with winter
What do you think about it?
Edit: an official art book revealed that Kaoru is still a demon name as it hides the 千 radical with the Kanji, yet that doesn't really contradict my theory. Because the Nagumo family is still a demon family, so if they renamed him, they surely stick to the demon naming rules.

Since I am writing a story in which Kaoru and Chizuru are part of the Shieikan together I present you with this fine meme:
Who can tell the twins apart?

Introducing my Touken Ranbu OC Daitsuren (大通連) Nagumo Kaoru's sword!
WWWOOOOOOOOOOO I finally got it done! ❤
I wanted him to look like both Kaoru and Kazuya (Kaoru and Chizuru's grandfather) since they were his most prominent masters. I made him have a more Oni-like appearance since Kaoru saw himself as more Oni than human while Chizuru saw herself as more human.
I redesigned the armor of Shotsuren to mirror Daitsuren. I also wanted to make clear that both swords have two-toned eyes. Daitsuren has eyes red eyes that fade to yellow. While Shotsuren has pink eyes that fade to yellow. I'm thinking of changing the patterns on the internal affairs outfit.
I also imagine the Okita swords would constantly troll Daitsuren by getting all flirty with Shotsuren when he's around as payback for Souji. Also, the Shinsengumi swords love Shotsuren and some of the swords that also have beef with Kaoru also troll Daitsuren.

LGBTQ+ and ally Hakuouki headcanons
Tumblr media
Anyway, headcanons are subjective. Feel free to share your own!
Aromantic asexual: Sannan, Amagiri, Kaoru
Aromantic: Yamazaki
Asexual: Okita, Saito
Pansexual/Bisexual: Harada, Souma, Sen
Gay/Lesbian: Shiranui, Kimigiku/Okiku, Itou, Takeda (let's take those 2 gay stereotypes and turn them into real characters!)
Heterosexual Pan-/Biromantic: Hijikata, Iba
Gender-non-conforming/Demi-girl/Agender/Non-binary: Chizuru
Gay asexual: Nakaoka
Cishet ally*: Nagakura, Ryouma, Miki
*Allies of the community are those that don't just tolerate LGBTQ+ people, but actively support and defend them.
Shenanigumi might be the only who's done this before...
(Sorry for not including Heisuke, I just don't think he fits anything here. I think he's a straight cis guy that would not go out of his way to support the LGBTQ+ community. He probably has other things on his mind... I don't HC him as queerphobic, just not as an ally.)
For those in the aromantic&asexual lines: I don't have a HC what their sexual/romantic identity is, I guess I'm open to any interpretation there. For the people in the pan&bi and gay&lesbian lines, I mostly HC their romantic identities to allign with their sexual ones.
(I saw someone musing about whether or not Kaoru is trans* (since identical twins usually share the same biological sex) and... I can't see how? Him "having the wrong genitals" (as in: him being AMAB) is a fact important to his backstory and he seems to have always identified as boy/man, even before the attack on his village, no matter what the Nagumo did to him. (Kaoru and Chizuru being oni is probably an excuse for how it's possible that they're identical twins with different sexes). But it's a trans* spectrum so while I can't see how he could be MTF trans*, maybe he's GNC/demi-boy/agender/enby?)

Headcanon: Kodo, Kaoru, Sannan, Chizuru during dinner
As Sannan is the only love interest to receive parental approval (Kodo) to date Chizuru in his own route, I really want an AU in which Kodo and Kaoru remain alive (SSL perhaps?). Imagine how fun messy the family dinners will be. Imagine how absolutely hilarious awful it will be when Chizuru brings Sannan home to introduce him to her father and her brother as her boyfriend.
The atmosphere during the dinner is uncomfortable, nobody is fighting or arguing but there is this uncomfortable sense that the three men dislike the others and regularly direct snide and passive aggressive remarks towards the others. Imagine the mutual dislike Kodo and Sannan will have for each other, but they will still be fascinated by each other's research. Also imagine how Kaoru will dislike Sannan so much and keep trying to annoy him by snide personal attacks but, unfortunately for Kaoru, Sannan will remain calm throughout them all and just respond with seemingly innocuous words laced with barbs, which pisses Kaoru off every time. Then there is poor Chizuru, the only truly nice person in this family gathering, trying desperately to keep the peace but failing utterly because she is not sure how to proceed.

2010 Hakuoki SSL Short Story
Sorry this was a tad late, but I wanted to figure out what to call this and if I could get an idea where this story was first published since I remembered that this story was reprinted in one of the Otomate Maniax books... which took me a while to double check since I didn't remember where I had put them.
This story was originally published on one of the Otomate Hakuoki blog websites (link below). Although the original post doesn't have a specific "name" for this story, the reprint refers to this as "薄桜鬼ハロウイン企画" which translates to "Hakuoki Halloween Project."
Tumblr media
Also, the tl I saw uses the word 'dim sum' which can translate to "snack", "candy", "dessert" and "pastry" (basically anything sweet)... so I've adjusted the word I used based on what fit the context better.
Anyway, enjoy!
2010 Hakuoki SSL Short Story
Translation by KumoriYami
Today was Halloween. The only girl at Hakuo Gakuen hurried to school with the sweets she made herself.
Yukimura: "I've always been taken care of by everyone, so I wanted to express my gratitude to everyone. But, where is everyone…?"
It appeared that she was completing ignoring the purpose of Halloween and thought of today as a day to "thank everyone" instead of playing tricks on people who didn't give candy.
"Ah———I don't have any more candy to give you!!"
Suddenly, I heard voices coming from by the school gates.
I hastily went over, and saw that Harada-sensei and Nagakura-sensei surrounded by students.
……However, after taking a closer look, the two's circumstances were really different.
Harada: "Hey hey, isn't today's a day for children to ask adults for candy? So you don't need to give me any candy, and should eat it yourself."
Nagakura: "Anyway, why are you all giving Sano candy! This is too unfair!"
The male students all asking Nagakura-sensei for candy, yet Harada-sensei was receiving candy from girls from the neighbouring Shimabara Girls' High School.
The students seeing how pitiful Nagakura-sensei was, were driven away the scene.
Yukimura: Harada-sensei, Nagakura-sensei. Um… I've always been looked after by you two teachers, so today I prepared some pastries…"
Nagakura: "What!? A goddess….. right now before my eyes, there's a goddess…!
Harada: "These are handmade pastries, for you make them especially for us, we can't refuse them."
Nagakura-sense was overjoyed, and to express his gratitude, Harada-sensei gave her a lot of candy.
During the lunch break, she met with Okita and Toudou, who were holding a lot of snacks.
Yukimura: "You two have done well, you have quite a lot of candy…. were those given to you by everyone?"
Okita: "It's because today's a day children ask adults for candy."
Toudou:"I got these all from the teachers!"
One by one, the two described the snacks they received.
Toudou: "This is chocolate I got from San-san! He gave us so much."
Okita: "But it's the ten-yen bargain kind."
Toudou: "This red jelly was given Sannan-san! But I have the feeling that this jelly has a strange smell."
Oktita: ""Ah, I don't want this jelly. Heisuke you take it and eat it."
Toudou: "After that, this is the cake that Kondou-san gave us! Kondou-san is really spontaneous!"
Okita: "He said "today is the day to give children candy!" and gave this to ask before we could even ask. Kondou-san always treats me like a child."
Yukimura: "Um... will you be able to eat all that dessert?"
Okita: "There won't be a problem…… So, will you be giving me pastries that you personally made?"
Toudou: "Ah…. Souji, you're so cunning! I also…!
Yukimura: "Hehe, you both have a share, don't worry."
After giving them a homemade pumpkin flavoured cupcake, they smiled happily and once the two parted, she was found by members of the Disciplinary Committee.
Yukimura: "Both of you also received a lot of candy."
Saito: "No, these were not given by other people."
Kaoru: "They were confiscated from students who were making noises and disrupting the school morals because of Halloween."
Hearing those words, Yukimura slump her shoulders in dismay.
Yukimura: "So-Sorry, I——"
Kaoru: ""But, what we confiscated is too much for us to finish ourselves. Sorry, help us deal with some of this candy."
Kaoru and Saito handed over the desserts to a confused Yukimura.
Yukimura: Uh, um... is this okay?"
Saito: "It's fine. Otherwise these sweets will get spoiled… we just cannot waste food for no reason."
Yukimura: "I, I understand."
Kaoru: "…….So is one of those pastries to give to your older brother?"
Yukimura: "It's because today is Halloween. That's why I thought about giving everyone….."
Saito: "It doesn't matter if excellent students participate in these sort of activities."
Yukimura: "Huh? Is that so.....?"
Kaoru: "That's right. My lovely younger sister is special."
Yukimura, who didn't realize that these two people were being partial to her, silently gave the both of them pastries.
As she continued walking, Kazama stood in the middle of the hallway to talk to Yukimura.
Kazama: "My wife, do you know what day it is today?……. If you don't give me a treat, I'll play a trick on you."
Yukimura: "Ah, that's right. Please let everyone in the student council enjoy these."
Kazama: "It's undoubtedly Halloween, so it would be far too boring to let you go like this… These opportunities seldom come by, so I will be playing a trick on you."
Yukimura: "Huh.... HUH!?"
Hijikata: "Kazama…… You're not a kid anymore. Don't do such senseless things."
Hijikata-sensei, who just appeared from behind Kazama, swatted down Kazama's hand as he was about to reach for Yukimura.
Hijikata: "Every guy is is restless because of Halloween…………because Principal Kondou took the lead, even if everyone said "no", that wouldn't work…..."
Yukimura: "Th-Thank you for your hard work. Hijikata-sensei..."
Although Yukimura felt sorry that Hijikata had to participate in Halloween activities himself, she still gave him a pastry.
Yukimura: "This might be a bother to you… to thank you for looking after me, I made some pastries"
Hijikata: "……It's only natural that a teacher looks after students."
Even though he said that, he still held out his hand with a smile to accept Yukimura's pastry——
Hijikata: "......Hey, Kazama. What are you intending by putting your hand out?"
Kazama: "Naturally to have my share. I'm merely receiving this gift."
Hijikata was stunned as he looked as Kazama extended his hand as if nothing had happened. Yukimura smiled as the interaction between the two of them and handed them the pastries at the same time.
Hijikata: "Thank you."
Kazama: "Just look forward to my response."
Hijikata:"......Seriously, what 【return gift】 are you talking about."
Yukimura, who had given everyone snacks to everyone, felt quite satisfied. Hakuo Gakuen's Halloween passed by like this.
End

Crying over SSL Kaoru's Route
i can't stop crying over them, someone pls help me….
I finally can play Hakuouki SSL on my pc, and ofc the first route i finish is Chizuru's twin, the one and only Nagumo Kaoru.
I really craved for "Yukimura" twin sibling bonding moment or them having actual sibling relationship (not where one of them trying to kill the other one).
AND SSL IS WHERE OTOMATE HEAR MY PRAYER
Whatever issues SSL's have, i just want to see my Yukimura sibling being happy :( so heres some rambles about it since i'm so happy after finishing it right now T_________T
Some cute SSL Kaoru thingy
Tumblr media
-> KAORU PREFER CATS THAN DOGS!!!!!!!!!! also his reaction when Chizuru choose the same animal as him (despite Chizuru was like "B-but i don't hate dogs…" its literally the "You like waffles so you hate pancakes" shits) is just so cute and on brand. He really acts and looks like cat tho, theres also part when Chizuru calls the cat "Kaoru~" and the cat "meow" at it. I'm literally on tears rn…..
Tumblr media
-> Yes… he has his own "Dead Note" where he put peoples names on it… thats so nerdy wtf (love him more). He also part of disciplinary comittee so he put names on students who broke the rules (or studets who getting too close to Chizuru) and give them strikes after that, well maybe its really a dead(th) note in some way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> Kaoru and Okita…. no matter what timeline it is i guess they just can't get along huh. Okita without his coughing and Kaoru without sniper behind him, this scene looks like shitan Okita's route remake in some way lol. Happiest ending ver.
The only time Kaoru and Okita actually "get along" is when they confront Sannan who suddenly being a "creep" to Chizuru
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which…. well deserved actually. Sannan you really need to sounds like it when you actually "didn't mean anything" hh….
Borderline-siscon-overprotective-brother personality really suits him lol
I mean, i think if the original timeline Kaoru have a better past with the Nagumo's or him and Chizuru isn't seperated, i think he will be like this too. His "Kawaii imoutou" phrase whenever he referred to Chizuru wouldn't sounds creepy or full of loath, but more actually loving and caring.
I mean, i think the main reason he "Hates" Chizuru is actually because he loves her so much, he thought she also have the same life as himz and he dream to someday he will make her happy together with him again just like in the past. But the feelings become cloudy when he learned his beloved sister forget him (when he always think of her), having a way better life, loves by everyone, and also she rejects him at the end. He thinks sibling should feel e/o but Chizuru didn't feel him at all, doesn't even remember her past/family, and living "her best life'". Theres black feeling right there but still he can't stop loving her so the only solution for him is to just bring her suffered like him.
*cough* so SSL is here to bring the pain away from them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is one of the funniest Kaoru overprotective mode, he really act as if he is also not a "16 year old" kid. AND I'M WITH CHIZURU, WHO IS WHO?!?!?!?!JSDHSBHS The only obvious one is "Idiotic student council president"??? T_______T Loose cannons is Okita i guess????? Happy-go-lucky is Heisuke??????
Tsundere big bro and bold lil sis
Even though yes Kaoru is really siscon like here, its actually still in the sibling border. Like the way he loves Chizuru is not disgusting at all, he just so protective and genuinely want to "fulfill" his role as big brother to Chizuru, but didn't know how to handle his feelings well lol so he really ends up being a tsundere mess.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean look at this one example, at first Chizuru is hurt, Kaoru then laughing at her, but when he realize Chizuru is actually hurt, he become worried and piggybacked her?! AND THEN LOOK AT THE PHONE MESSAGE SCREENSHOT, HE LITERALLY MAIL THAT TO CHIZURU AFTER THE EVENT. Thats so sibling thing,,,
Different from Kaoru who become "tsundere" when he expressed his actual feelings, Chizuru is actually so much bolder. She talks back to Kaoru, take initiative firts, and just "meh" it a way when Kaoru say bad things to her. It's like the gap of how different someone can be with their sibling vs with other people.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Heres some example lmao, Chizuru holding Kaoru's hand first so casually and Kaoru said he hates it but didn't trying to get away at all. (he loves it ofc he is). Then the bottom picture, its Kaoru mailing shits to Chizuru when he actually watching Chizuru from the crowd, and well Chizuru responds to his mail is sure come from heart <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I need to put this because its funny seeing Kaoru dumbfound face while Chizuru saying the same thing 3 times cause his stupid brother apparently can't grasp the fact that his sister give him chocolate on valentine day WHEN HE ACTUALLY FORBID EVERYONE TO BRING CHOCOLATE AND DOING INSPECTION OF IT SINCE HE DIDN'T WANT CHIZURU TO GIVE CHOCOLATE TO ANYONE. What a cute irony.
Oh, and of course if we have bickered moments we also have the sibling wholesome moments
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*sobs*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*SOBS WAY HARDER*
Also, when Kaoru calm like this, their face really looks like a copypaste (maybe because iT IS a copypaste) somehow i giggle at this.
So thats it i guess… i'll go back crying alone for now, no i'm still not done making a river of tears on my bedroom

Thinking of a scenario about Kaoru being adopted(mistakenly abducted) by Kodō, where he mistook him for Chizuru while they were escaping. It is mentioned in the game that Kodō had the opportunity to take both of them, but Kaoru left to take Chizuru's place; whereas in this idea, the Nagumo were quicker to take Chizuru when they've heard of some commotion in the eastern lands.
Kodō is a mixed bag, as he seems to be implied to be not a pureblood, a hanyō of sorts, he might treat Kaoru's capabilities a mirror of his own. Is Kaoru weak due to his upbringing, or was it simply innate that he had been weaker than other male oni in comparison?
Considering that his characterization is inconsistent alike to Kazama's, his demeanor to Kaoru could be subjective. Would he be as nice as he was to Chizuru, caring for him and teaching him about the mundane life of men?
Or would he be opportunistic to use Kaoru on his experimentations which leads to abuse, similar to how the Nagumo had treated him?
He is assumably easy to convince by authorities as long as it serves his interests, for as seen when he had easily betrayed the Yukimura Clan when the shogunate prompted him to, he did unto the shogunate for Nagumo's support. Why had he been alturistic, albeit passively manipulating Chizuru through sparse information, when he could have had been much forward and aggressive on his intentions? Was it guilt and pity that empowered those actions? Or his desire have his existence validated by a pureblood by caring for one - a messed up father-daughter relationship?

I really like your fic and I'm love how you do Chizuru and Kaoru relationship. I must admit I'm was very disappointed with how they handle Kaoru in the game, like no kidding he did horrible things and wanted to make his sister suffer but at the same he was a victim of abuse. I wanted a route for him - platonic of course - where he and Chizuru would make up or at least come to a understanding
Thank you so much for the kind words about my fic. It is always super nice to hear some feedback on it. If you like how it focuses on the Kaoru&Chizuru relationship you might have a nice surprise in the coming days (provided that you do not hate modern AU).
I perfectly understand your frustration with how Kaoru was treated in the game (though I am even more frustrated by how he was dispatched in the movie!).
I have only finished Okita's route (good ending only - I don't have enough time to play right now) in the Hakuoki: Stories of the Shinsengumi version, but I am super eager to receive my copy of the Switch version so I can play Sannan's route and the other one (Yamazaki? Sakamoto?) in which Kaoru plays an important role. I want more Kaoru content!
That being said, I did not find the content I got in Okita's route to be frustrating at all. I think Kaoru is a well-written and coherent character in it. He is not sane, he does horrible things, his goals are megalomaniac and very probably unachievable even if everything went as he wanted, but it all makes sense. He can't come back from what happened to him, he is stuck in a headlong rush. There is no escape. He is a well-executed tragic character.
I love tragedy so I love Kaoru. I love him even more because having him as a villain sort of anchors Okita's route as a route deeply centered on Chizuru and since she is sort of the main character you know… Well, narratively the oppositions "ChizuruVsKaoru" and "OkitaVsKaoru" are super interesting to me.
So I don’t mind that Kaoru is a tragic character who could not escape his cruel fate. Even if some days I believe that there was a short window in which he could have been brought back toward the light (I might write a fic about this idea one day). Other days I truly believe that Kaoru was too far gone the minute he decided to take control of the Nagumo clan to ever come back from the path he had decided to travel.
Tumblr media
(This is basically me about Kaoru)
But I totally agree with you about something super important: Kaoru is without a doubt a victim of abuse (child abuse from when he was seven, and the game is not clear on when this stopped, sometime before the beginning of the game? sometime in 1864 taking advantage of the political turmoil in Tosa han?) that might very well have a sexual and scientific experimental dimension. That abuse ended in blood when Kaoru killed every authority figure in the Nagumo clan that wasn't him. Generally speaking every important character in the game is more or less given a redemptive action (even if that one action does not rehabilitate the entire character) that sort of acknowledges a "what could have been" scenario. Kaoru is not given that grace. The thing that comes the closest to this is his conversation in the forest by the Yukimura village with Chizuru after she has regained her memory. He is calm and apparently open during it but he is still hellbent on his "evil" plan and, for Chizuru, this conversation is more a corruption offer than a redemptive gesture from her brother. Plus we discover later that he is still lying to her about things at this point (notably about her being able to "keep" Okita).
Having the poster child for horrifying child abuse being among the very few irredeemable characters is… a choice? As I said, Kaoru’s character is well-written and coherent but the optics of that are not super good.
I too would very much enjoy a sibling (platonic) route that would explore their relationship and Chizuru oni’s heritage. Also, but this is because I am fucked up stories enjoyer, Kaoru’s route bad end could be a non-platonic ending. A bit on the same tone as Shiraishi’s Adonis Ending in Collar x Malice in which he is still with Hoshino but both characters are merely nightmarish shells (or everything they feared they could become) of what they were before.
