Ashura-ou is the king of Shurano. For generations, his clan (the Ashura clan) has been fighting with the Yasha clan over the rights to claim the Castle of the Moon: which myth says that whoever claims it shall have their greatest wish/desire granted.
Ashura-ou contacts the Space-Time Witch (Yuuko) and wishes for Syaoran and Sakura to be forced into his world, though at first it is unclear what for. As Syaoran joins Ashura-ou in battles, it is clear he has summoned them for a purpose.
In the final battle, Ashura-ou stabs Yasha-ou, effectively killing him – which reveals that Yasha-ou was merely an illusion created by one of Sakura’s feathers, and Ashura asked that the children be brought to his world that he might return it and release the illusion. That done, Ashura stakes claim upon the Castle of the Moon. However, his true wish is for Yasha-ou to be resurrected (for it is revealed they had a deep connection, and that Yasha died of a disease many years back and his soul was grounded to reality via Ashura’s deep wish to see him once more), and unable to grant such a wish, the castle crumbles, and Ashura-ou remains inside as it does so.
At the last moment, Ashura-ou makes a last wish of Yuuko, asking to be made into a god with Yasha-ou for his people, so that the next generations can know that there are some things not even gods can do. And so, Ashura-ou dies, his memory living on as a god with Yasha for the people of Sharano (which turns out to be a future version of Shurano).
Ashura’s overall personality is relaxed and friendly, even though he is a king. While he expects some levels of formality considering whom and what he is, Ashura would prefer people treat him more as a friend rather than their ruling king. But while he does not like standing on formality, Ashura can summon such a persona when he wishes it. He is not shy about making necessary decisions for the sake of his people, and metes out punishment and reward alike with an even hand. On that same note, Ashura is highly protective of his subjects, and measures almost all his actions against the consequences that will ensue for his people. However, Ashura does have breaking points,
and if one is breached he can become frightening. He takes on a full ‘royal’ persona, looking down at a person and has no problem letting loose a fraction of his power as a scare tactic.But for those he sees as close, personal friends or if he is merely feeling playful, Ashura is known to be something of a social butterfly and flirt. It’s never anything serious, but he has no problems adopting the persona in order to get information or manipulate a person if necessary. Another little quirk is that Ashura is very aware of his feminine looks, and never actively dissuades people from believing him a woman unless it’s truly necessary. He gets a modicum of amusement out of it.
In battle Ashura is calm and collected, often seen smiling amongst the carnage. This is misleading and makes some people think him to be cold hearted, but Ashura has been fighting this war for so long he has simply become immune to the shock of a battlefield. He takes care of himself, not wanting his soldiers to have to worry over his well being, but at the same time is not seen running to every subordinate’s aid. His people do die, and while that upsets him he acknowledges it as a fact of war. He maintains that his position is to counter the attacks of Yasha, as he is the only one with enough power to do so. In truth he hates having to go to war every night, but also accepts this as a part of the inevitableness of life.
On a more person level, to those who know him well, Ashura is a rather tortured soul. His smiling façade is just that – a mask. Inside he feels almost physically ill each night when they are done fighting and the bodies of the dead are left behind. And more than that, Ashura has trouble letting people in to deeply. He holds them at just enough length that they are considered friends, but never enough to be considered someone intimate, not even his oldest friend Kumara.

His metabolism is incredibly fast, thanks in part to his talent with fire, which eats up a lot of energy to maintain at any given time. So he can basically eat what he wants and never gain an ounce. Yes, you are free to hate him for this.

Ashura has two pets - a Flareon called Agni and a dragon-horse named Svitana.
