Profile[]
Background[]
Hanefune was the husband of Miyuki Asakami and father of Fujino Asagami. With the decline of the Asakami family's bloodline,[2] the family was unable to financially prosper like the Ryougi family. Hanefune believed the family no longer had a reason to exist, deciding that any unusual powers of their bloodline are undesirable to people of the modern era and that they should be eliminated.[3]
After his daughter displayed the Mystic Eyes of Distortion, Hanefune made contact with a local underground doctor to procure medication to seal Fujino's abilities by sealing her senses, but it had the side effect of giving her Neuromyelitis OpticaWP.[4] The family finally collapsed when Fujino was around twelve years old, Miyuki remarrying Kouzou Asagami of the branch Asagami family.[4]

Q: Asakami, Fujou, Ryougi, Nanaya are natural enemies of Half-Blood. Besides Nanaya, do the other three houses still hunt Half-Bloods?Q: Asakami, Fujou, Ryougi, Nanaya are natural enemies of Half-Blood. Besides Nanaya, do the other three houses still hunt Half-Bloods?
A: The other three houses have done so in the past. However, it is no longer necessary as time goes on. The cash cow... and the basis of the existence of the four houses ----- the enemy known as Half-Blood, have slowly morphed from an evil that threatens the society to a necessary evil.
The Half-Bloods were no longer worshiped because the existence of the nation, so they compromised with the human society and became organized. They skillfully brought those in positions of power to their cause, and became the ones in power.
As a result, the Four Demon Hunter Houses could no longer maintain themselves. Some became fallen, others reestablished themselves through other means.
In the end, the only ones battling the Half-Bloods were the Nanayas. As to why, it was because that was all they were good at.
The Ryougis and Fujous possessed other "useful" skills besides fighting Half-Bloods, so they focused on those areas instead and survived.
The fall of Asakami was self-inflicted. They worshiped the captured Half-Bloods as guardian gods, and their lineage became diluted due to the continued interbreeding. In the end, they almost became Half-Bloods themselves. The mummy-hunter became the mummy, such is the tragedy of the Asakamis.Q:浅神、巫浄、両儀、七夜は混血の天敵だぞうですか、七夜以外の三家も混血狩りのようなことをしていたのでしょうか?
A:ぞりゃ残り三家もしていましたとも。しかし時代が進むにつれ需要を失ったのです。四家の飯の種......もとい、敵である混血たちはいつの間にか社会悪から必要悪にシフトていました。
国から天神地祇が失われ、混血たちは人間社会と折り合いをつける為に組織化し、巧みに権力者たちを取り込み、権力を使う側になっていったのです。
そうなると退魔四家に居場所があるはずもない。あるものは没落、あるものは違う方法で家をもり立てていきました。最後まで混血退治を請け負っていたのは七夜だけ。なぜって、彼らには“それ”しか取り柄がなかったから。
両儀や巫淨は、退魔の他にも“使い道のある”技があったのでそちらをメインにして生き残りました。
浅神の衰退は自業自得。あれは捕まえた混血を家の守り神として飼育、ないし配合していくうちに血が薄れ、最後には自分たちもほとんど混血になっていた、というミイラ取りがミイラになったパターンです。 - ↑
[] Kara no Kyoukai - Chapter 3: “Remaining Sense of Pain” Movies Q & A Pamphlets
Q: So Fujino’s father forcibly induced her insensitivity to pain in order to suppress her power, but why? Didn’t the Asagami family want to pass on unusual abilities to their descendants just like the Ryougi family?Q: So Fujino’s father forcibly induced her insensitivity to pain in order to suppress her power, but why? Didn’t the Asagami family want to pass on unusual abilities to their descendants just like the Ryougi family?
Nasu: That era has long since passed. Though the Ryougis have been very successful economically, the Asagamis have been defunct for quite some time. Probably, Fujino’s father realized that their family no longer had any reason to exist shortly before their collapse. In the modern era, nobody wants people with unusual abilities anymore, so there is no need to pass them on. Rather, they should be eliminated. That’s what he decided.
Takeuchi: But that’s not right at all. If they had opened the Twist Shop FUJINON, they could have taken the world by storm! They’d open stuck-on bottle caps, moonlight as rubber rollers, and make sculptures for the Hakone Open-Air Museum!
Nasu: Hahaha. That’s a pretty niche place to work, huh? - ↑ 4.0 4.1 Kara no Kyoukai - Volume 3
