Kageboshi (The Lost Canvas)

Earthly Oppression Star, Kageboshi (地鎮星影法師, chichinsei kagebōshi) is a minor character in Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas by Shiori Teshirogi. He is a subordinate to the Specter Atavaka.

Personality & Background
Kageboshi was born a normal human on Earth, until one day when the Earthly Opression Star and its accompanying Surplice sought him out and transformed into one of the deity Hades' 108 Specters. With a Specter soul, he now had a sworn oath to serve Hades so he ventured to the deity's domain, the Underworld. The God of the Underworld had not yet awoken however, so Kageboshi tended to the souls in the Underworld while he waited. At some point he met Atavaka and felt that his ideal to be the truth of the universe and turning the Underworld into a land of bliss was a good thing so he became his subordinate.

Story
] Some time later, a new soul with an awakened 8th sense appeared in the Underworld. Atavaka ordered Kageboshi to convince this human to join the ranks of the Specters and become one with his essence. He ventured to the location but was surprised to see one of Athena's warriors, the 88 Saints there. He asked what the Saint was doing there and if they should engage in combat but the Saint did not reply. Kageboshi scoffed at him and said it did not matter as Hades had not been awakened yet. He told him to leave as he had come for the soul only.

Kageboshi healed the injured boy known as Ahimsa by using his "healing bell" and said that he would give him eternal life as he had been personally elected by Atavaka, the man closest to god in hell. The Saint suddenly spoke up and said that he had always wished to meet with Atavaka. Kageboshi replied that knowledge about Atavaka was for the very few to know, so he had to kill the Saint regardless. He launched his "Kage Gopuku" technique at the Saint, who surprised him by using an "In Goma" technique that deflected the spears into the ground. The Saint explained it was a seal that grounded every enemy of Buddha, and suddenly Kageboshi's body was pressured unto the ground. The Saint demanded that he would take him to Atavaka, but Kageboshi scoffed at him and said that he knew nothing of the Specters. The Specter shouted at Ahimsa to see what a man with eternal life could do with his body and launched an attack with his body against the Saint. The Saint used his "Ohm" technique which both deflected and killed Kageboshi.

Atavaka would later use Kageboshi's body as a medium, and would succeed in obtaining the soul of Ahimsa. He would however be defeated by the Saint when the souls rejected him.

Kageboshi would later be revived and when Hades eventually was awakened he joined his fellow Specters in an audience with their deity.
