Shichika Yasuri

Utama

Male · Umur 24

Shichika is the current head of the Kyotouryuu style. He was trained rigorously by his father, the previous head of the style. He is deeply dedicated to his training, and is strong enough to win against challengers without even using Kyotouryuu. Through the years, he has even developed new moves for the Kyotouryuu style. He cares deeply for his older sister Nanami, who has poor health, and often does her chores for her. He is in love with Togame, who trusts him because of this fact. Though he says he's in love with her, he has no idea how to deal with girls, as he shows no sign of arousal around Togame when she's naked, and doesn't even realize he's supposed to praise her when she wears new clothes. However, this allows Togame to be very open with him, which is an advantage to their quest of collecting the twelve deviant swords. He says that he is "bad at thinking," but he could not be called naive as he is very aware of what is going on around him.

Yoshimasa Hosoya

Togame

Utama

Female

Togame is the shogunate's self-titled "strategian." She is physically weak but mentally superior, though she is not immune to lapses in judgment and bouts of clumsiness. Though Shichika is in love with her, his lack of interest in her body allows her to be shameless around him, so she can be naked around him without worrying about being taken advantage of. In this way, they have a very comfortable and open relationship. Meisai thinks that she wears bright clothing so she doesn't forget herself, and comments on her extremely long, white hair, saying hair doesn't become that way without a reason. She also possesses a special eye. She says "gyafun" when she falls, and has a habit of saying "cheerio!" while hitting Shichika, though it turns out "cheerio!" is erroneous and is supposed to be "chest!" This greatly troubles her, though in the end, she decides to stick with "cheerio!".
