Original Cursed Technique: 影激減/Kage no Geki (trans. Shadow Puppet Theatre)

Asano-sama has an ability that's odd, for lack of a better word, given His nature as a River Kitsune. He can wield the light and shadows around Him in order to create puppets to do things for Him. They are controlled by gestures that mimic the action He wants to perform. You could argue that this is just run-of-the-mill telekinesis, and you'd be right, to a point, but drawing power from the light and shadows in the environment (or rather, the energy within them) is the key difference.

To me, it seems like He's always been to do this - create temporary vessels for the dead - and it feels separate to the fact He is a River Kitsune because most of Their powers are hydrokinetic. I know that zenko may have powers over everything, but Asano-sama seems like the kind of Being to tie His sense of self to His local geography, so He won't use powers that take Him too far from His place or sense of origin - that would be a river. Specifically, Asano-sama comes from the Otagawa, or the Ota River - that feeds into why He uses Kage no Geki more now, rather than His childhood; He has to, because of His catastrophic vision loss in 1945. This also is the reason Kage no Geki we (meaning Asano-sama and myself) think of it a Cursed Technique instead of a superpower or Quirk; there are negative emotions hidden in the shadows and in the fragments of people's souls. This, if you consider the Shinto view of animism, also applies to objects - He can befriend the object if it's more than 100 years old or pass on the soul of a puppet to an object so it becomes their vessel.

While, in truth, Kage no Geki was always a personal Cursed Technique, it was only recently classified as such because of it its rise in usage - the nuclear fallout of Hiroshima gave Him plenty of shadows to befriend.

New Hetalia Child OC Profile

Affiliated Country - Japan

Local Personification - Hiroshima

Human Name - Kurosawa Reo/Reo Kurosawa Kanji - 怜緒黒澤 (written in the Western order of forename first).

Human age - 8-13 years old (or rather, he appears as such; given his short height, it’s hard to tell).

Vitality Status - Historical Fragment, Former Personification of Hiroshima

Personal History - Much like HRE or Prussia, Reo used to be the general personification of Hiroshima, but the atomic bombing of the city caused his temporary death, since the land had been poisoned and no one was living there. Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki's personifications actually died during this time, meaning that their respective prefectures had to take on their duties. By the time Reo came back into existence (he was still slightly sick from the radiation - think something like juvenile arthritis) the prefectures decided that Reo was too vulnerable to carry on his civic tasks (not to mention that they noticed that he was still ill - cities, prefectures and states heal even quicker than Nations because they cover less area) and demoted him for his own safety.

Another anomaly the prefectures took note of is that a newer, different personification materialised shortly after Reo was downgraded; the prefectures knew that the cultures of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in particular were irrevocably changed after 1945, and so someone new was needed to rebirth, but the odd thing about this occasion was that Reo still existed after this. Usually, when a Nation is reborn and gains a new title (like HRE becoming Germany) the original personification dies in order to make way for the new one. Clearly, that was not the case with Reo - once again, the prefectures knew that the people of Hiroshima had, whether subconsciously or not, chosen him to represent the memory of their city's atomic bombing.

As long as the atomic bombing of Hiroshima exists as an event in public memory, so too does Reo.
