Kage and Katsu's mom is so abusive….but really, her brats deserve it I'm sure.

Well in that first panel are a bunch of important people, I will attempt to name them in an organized fashion.

Right side of panel, from foreground to background:

Matriarch Mirame - Grandmother of Kage and Katsu
Koji Mirame - High Lord of Itsu-Va, father of Kage and Katsu
Ania Mirame - Wife of Koji, mother of Kage and Katsu
Kage Mirame - Youngest child of Koji and Ania
Keiko Mitsumi - Youngest child of Chana and Dakan Mitsumi, future sister-in-law of Kage and Katsu
Lin Mitsumi - Eldest child of Chana and Dakan Mistumi, sister to Keiko, and Katsu's fiancee
Ink Master Menda Tensin

Left side of panel, from foreground to background:

Nenki Mirame - Cousin to Kage and Katsu, Tiro* of Katsu
Petra Mitsumi - Tiro* of Katsu
Dakan Mitsumi - Lord of Mitsumi clan, father to Keiko and Lin, best friend and former Tiro* of Koji
Chana Mitsumi - Wife of Dakan, mother to Keiko and Lin, friend of Ania

*Tiro - Three person team of soldiers-in-training, or Tiro, work together to pass 10 trials. Once all 10 are successfully completed, a Tiro can become eligible for the Soldier's Initiation. Tiro is used like so: "Tiro Kage" would be like "Cadet Kage". It is only used to address members of one's own three member team. For example, Katsumi can call Nenki or Petra, Tiro Nenki and Tiro Petra, but if Kage were to do it, it would imply that he was part of their team and would also likely get his ass kicked by them. Once the initiation is passed, the term Tiro is dropped, except perhaps as a term of endearment or insult.

Thanks for reading.
