Kanesada
Kuji Kanesada (九字 兼定) is the familiar of Miyafuji Yoshika.
Background[]
Kanesada was originally a spirit of a katana used to seal a Neuroi under a shrine. One day, Kanesada broke out of the shrine and formed a contract with Yoshika. This caused the seal of the Neuroi to weaken, and resurrect from underground.
Apparently, Kanesada can talk in a very deep and manly voice, however he pretends he cannot in front of Yoshika. He seems to get jealous when Yoshika is around others, having claimed "Yoshika is mine!" right in front of Hayate and Goshiki. He also likes sneaking into swimming pools full of girls, stealing girls' underwear, and jumping into Junko's uniform. As Yoshika herself has an obsession with breasts, this could be an instance of a dog resembling its owner. He also cannot be seen by non-Witches, as is the case with all familiars normally, however in his manga appearance he can only be seen by Yoshika and certain other Witches specifically; this is likely due to retconned/outdated lore of how familiars work to begin with.
Kanesada's initial appearances, and story lore, within Strike Witches: Maidens in the Sky and the pilot episode is currently considered non-canon due to the nature of said media itself (see links below). However, the existence of Kanesada himself is technically still canon simply by default; especially due to the notable role of familiars portrayed in Luminous Witches. This may, or may not, change in the future.
