Kiichi Hougen

A Buddhist onmyouji and strategist.

A figure described in legend as the founder of the Kyouhachi-ryuu, the oldest school of swordsmanship in West Japan. They taught combat to the young Ushiwakamaru, and enabled her to learn the innermost secrets of war strategy: the Six Secret Teachings and the Three Strategies of Huang Shigong... entirely against their will. Ushiwakamaru just seduced their daughter one day to sneak a look at the secrets, causing the fearsome mentor to try to kill her in their rage.
