He's grown up feeling he didn't have the grit necessary to survive in

benn looking for a master samurai to train him, and when he meets
Kambei he knows he's the one. |
 |
Kikuchiyo |
A man turned in a machine very strong - his massive sword
and steam-powered arm can tear through brick walls. But he's not skilled.
All he knows about fighting he's made up as he's gone along, by
emulating real samurai. His embarassing secret is that he was born a farmer,
a low class, just like the people of Kanna Village. |
 |
Gorobei |
after fighting in the Great War, and joining the countless
ranks of ranin samurai. Gorobei became a street performer, using his
fighting skills to pay for his meals. A dishonorable fate for a samurai, but
Gorobei doesn't care. He's roated more in the real world than ideals."

 |
Kyuzo |
After fighting in the great War, Kyuzo landed a job as a guard
in the Magistrate's house. A rare master of the double-sword technique,
Kyuzo spends his days in silence, pursuing fighting perfection, having
to listen to the Magistrate and his son brag about the end of the
samurai. |
 |
Shichiroji |
During the Great War, Shichiroji was Kambei's pilot and
partner in battle. Five years ago, after narrowly surviving a raid, he
gave up the samurai life and settled down with a woman name Yukina and
helps her run the Firefly House. He likes the idea of a quiet life, and
tries very hard to live it believing that fighting is not for him. Nut
his taste for battle always pulls him back. |
 |
Heihachi |
A younger samurai, mostly self-taught and skill machinist. If
he did have any involvement in the Great War, it was as an engineer,
not in direct combat. Since then, he's been a lone named, going wherever
he feels like, collecting machine parts, paying for his room and board
by chopping wood, another skill - he can use his sword to slice wood
into toothpicks. |
