Breath of the Moon (
It has been revealed that, like all of the other original breath styles, the Breath of the Moon also branched out of the Breath of the Sun. When its creator, Michikatsu Tsugikuni, attempted to learn the Breath of the Sun from his twin brother, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he discovered he was unable to master the breath style and so was instead trained in a alternate Breath Style. Yoriichi created it fit and cover his individual strengths and weaknesses, and Michikatsu then continued to train and develop this breath until it eventually evolved into its own unique Breath Style, which he named named Breath of the Moon.
