Taro Character Development

Many characters in the book Blood Ninja change from beginning to end, either by death or another character. The main character Taro had seemed to be an almost completely different person in the end because he was no longer innocent and he had changed so much.

In the beginning, Taro was just a normal  and innocent boy who was very talented with a bow and arrow. A group of ninjas soon changed that and caused Taro to have to become a vampire and leave his home forever. He was trained in the way of the ninja, already very different from his former self. When his mentor Shusaku dies, he had to become almost self dependant, making him an almost completely different character.

Taro had always wanted to follow "samurai honor" and be just like them, he soon realized that it was untrue. His need for revenge against his former lord, Lord Oda had made him into a different person.
