for info of his sister see may alias Noro
Lou Kasuri was born of mixed blood his father was Tien and his mother was Varisian. He is the older of their two children. Lou grew up on the Kasuri family farm, just outside of Sandpoint. His father was an honorable man of Tien tradition, and his mother was a Varisian Gypsy.

Lou and his Sister, Noro, were complete opposites. Lou was always reserved and followed father’s strict regime of exercise and training; while Noro was more like her mother, wild and impulsive. Their father was constantly scolding Noro in an attempt to make her more disciplined, but this only drove her emotionally further from her father. She will always love her father and will never willing do anything to bring dishonor to his name; unfortunately she could never really understand how.

Noro and Lou studied martial combat with their father since they were old enough to walk. He was adamant in teaching the children the old ways and to fight with honor. Lou managed to grasp much of these concepts, but Noro was another story. She didn’t mind learning to fight and stand up for herself she just didn’t have the discipline to know when to avoid a fight and not to attack out of emotion and anger.
Noro would work hard at her studies attempting to be calm and reserved like her brother. But at every turn there were the other kids tormenting her again, attempting to urge her on in the hope to see her get angry again. Luckily Lou would intervene on many occasions before it would get to far.

Lou was always there for her until he found someone new. There was a new girl in his life, Ameiko from the Rusty Dragon. Noro has no idea how or where they met but Lou always had that lovesick puppy dog look whenever she was around. Of course Ameiko never seemed to even notice Lou, a fact that Noro would frequently point out. Perhaps, she was just a bit too old for him?

Noro would follow her brother to the Rusty Dragon and spy on him as he would do anything he could to get her attention and fail every time. However once word got around that Lou was pre-occupied Noro was soon again the target of the hazing and bullying.

Lou is Noro's older brother, while it is true that Lou is more disciplined than Noro it is not entirely true that he is the perfect student.

Lou still always managed to get into mischief. One night Lou managed to steal some of his father's choice wine and soon after a fun and rowdy night with Noro and some friends Lou found himself at the wrong end of his father’s cane.

Lou worked hard around the farm but he always had a problem with the drink. But it was not all too bad for him; Lou learned ways to meld his drinking with his father's fighting techniques.

His father did not approve but his mother encouraged him. Even staging fights along with Noro on occasion. Lou had a crush on a local girl Ameiko. He always talked about her and even was caught drawing pictures of her in his spare time. Noro constantly teased him over his crush and would eventually lead to another fight.

Eventually when Lou was old enough, he started working at the Rusty Dragon in the hopes that Ameiko would eventually notice him.
