List of Koihime Musō characters

This is a list of characters from the visual novel and anime series, Koihime Musō.

All characters are loosely based on characters of the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and are grouped in the faction/kingdom they belong to and called by their Japanese names. Also, all of the voice actresses reprise their roles in the anime, under different names. Both names are written here.

Kazuto

 * Hongō Kazuto (北郷 一刀)
 * Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima (Drama CD)
 * Visual novel version
 * The main character of the visual novel series. He is a modern day Japanese student who was trained in kendo, military strategies and has pretty good knowledge about Asian History in general. He was sent back in time to ancient China when he attempted to stop a mysterious student from stealing an ancient Chinese mirror within the school's collection and ended up breaking the mirror in the process. Due to his abnormal costume (his school uniform) and manner of speech (English loanwords), he is saved by Kan'u and is mistaken to be the "Messenger from Heaven" who is said to be able to bring peace to China. He initially denied and turn down the role but later on decides to aid Kan'u in her quest, hoping to find his way back home. However, as time passes, he feels himself attached and begins to think twice about whether he should go home. He's often regarded as being too carefree and too big a skirt chaser by almost everyone.


 * In Shin Koihime Musō, regardless of which kingdom is chosen, Kazuto is sent to the other world when he was sleeping back in his own world. Usually before he is found, the lords of each kingdom comment how they saw a shooting star in the sky. Like in the first game, he is still considered the Messenger of Heaven.


 * He is often shocked as to how heroes he knows from literature are so very different from what he has learned from his time. In the first Koihime Musō game his role is akin to Ryūbi. However he takes an entirely new role in Shin Koihime Musō, as Ryūbi has become a separate character. In the sequel, Kazuto can ally himself with any one of the warring factions, becoming the main partner of either Ryūbi, Sōsō, or Sonsaku. The ending also varies depending on who he partners with.

Kan'u

 * Kan'u Unchō (関羽 雲長)
 * Real name: Aisha (愛紗)
 * Voiced by: Nami Kurokawa (visual novel, anime) (credited as Mina Motoyama in the visual novel)
 * Visual novel version
 * Arguably the main heroine of the first game, Kan'u shows up shortly after Hongō is transported back in time and saves him from a group of bandits. Due to Hongō's strange attire and manner of speech, she subsequently mistakes him to be the "Messenger from Heaven" and becomes the first person to vow her loyalty to him. Kan'u remains the driving force behind the Hongō/Shoku army and displays many heroic actions in the war, often being the leading voices for the other girls as well as the motivator of the group. However, due to her past, she strongly rejects Kazuto for calling her a girl, stating, "Nothing as weak as that!". It is also noted that she easily turns dangerous, even vicious when provoked. She's completely scared of ghosts.


 * In Shin Koihime Musō, Kan'u is relegated to the position of Ryūbi's second in command and confidante. Here she is a very strict general and disciplinarian, especially towards Ryūbi herself (due to Ryūbi being a rather naive and reluctant queen), and Kazuto (likely out of jealousy over Ryūbi's closeness to Kazuto, since she herself in fact harbors romantic feelings towards him).


 * Anime version
 * Kan'u is known as the Beautiful Black-haired Bandit Fighter and wields the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. She is also one of the main characters beside Chōhi. Her past reveals that her family was killed by bandits, which made it her quest to ensure innocent people will never suffer like she did. She cares a lot for her friends, and she is a sister to Chōhi after they swore a vow of sisterhood because she felt sorry for Chōhi's loneliness. Two common recurring jokes about her are: 1) people who have heard the legend of the black-haired bandit fighter remark that the rumors describe her as the a most beautiful woman, and because of this did not think Kan'u was her and 2) some of the female characters mistakenly believe she and Rinrin are mother and daughter despite the fact she is still young. The second running gag is carried even further in Shin Koihime Musō when Kōsonsan mistakes Kōmei as Kan'u's daughter as well. Somewhat self-conscious of her appearance, she often finds herself as the butt of jokes to those who blatantly point out physical aspects of her, such as her age, which she is very sensitive of. Another notable gag was when Kan'u seemingly found a suitable male soulmate, the relationship was to be very short-lived. She is a pure virgin, as noted in season 1's fourth episode, where she nervously admits to Karin that it was her first time when she conceded to sleep with the young ruler in exchange for Bachō's release. After having Ryūbi join them in the second season, she becomes a role model for Ryūbi who later decides to makes a vow of sisterhood with her as Kan'u's older sister (as Kan'u already made vow with Chōhi's as her older sister). Kan'u at first felt it was inappropriate as she is older than she is but by the beginning of third season, she accepted calling Ryūbi her Aneue (older sister).

Chōhi

 * Chōhi Yokutoku (張飛 翼徳)
 * Real name: Rinrin (鈴々)
 * Voiced by: Miya Serizono (visual novel, anime) (credited as Hiroka Nishizawa in the anime)
 * Visual novel version
 * Chōhi joins Kazuto along with Kan'u after the two discover him together. Unlike Kan'u, who holds a more reserved master-servant-like relationship with Kazuto, she treats Kazuto like an older sibling and calls him "big brother," similar to how she treats Kan'u. As a powerful character, Chōhi has the strongest Damage ability when used as a general in the game. However, she has no defense technique when used as a commander, thus making her unfit to be one.


 * As a running gag, she's often grouped with Bachou as "the two who doesn't have to help in councils".


 * Anime version
 * Chōhi is a talkative and always cheerful girl. Although she is small and very smart in some things, she is naive in others, yet very powerful and strong, capable of competing against Kan'u in armed melee combat. She is one of the main characters and the first person to join Kan'u. Chōhi will also be very dedicated to her duty no matter what the cost to her (in one episode, for example, she fights bandits despite having a cold.) During the second season, she was opposed of Ryūbi of becoming Kan'u little sister as Chōhi was already made a vow with Kan'u to be her little sister but accepted when Ryūbi decides to make Kan'u her little sister instead. By the third season, she has accepted Ryūbi as her other older sister and even calling her Tōka nee-chan. She wears a hairpin in the shape of a round yellow "smiley-faced tiger" that changes expressions according to Chōhi's mood.

Ryūbi

 * Ryūbi Gentoku (劉備 玄徳)
 * Real name: Tōka (桃香)
 * Voiced by: Oto Agumi (visual novel), Mai Gotō (anime)
 * Visual novel version
 * The young queen of Shoku Kingdom in Shin Koihime Musō. Being quite young she is naive, often reluctant to go to war, and hates paperwork (much to the chagrin of Kan'u who as a result often scolds the young queen and reminds her of her duties), but has a lot of confidence on her subordinates. She falls in love with Kazuto, causing Kan'u to feel a bit of jealousy.


 * Anime version
 * Introduced in Shin Koihime Musō. A descendant of a distinguished family who was given possession of a sword, the family heirloom, before she encountered the man who would eventually steal her name (leading everyone to believe him to be Ryūbi Gentoku in the first season) and her sword, causing her to fall into disgrace. To redeem herself, she ventures out in search for the man and her sword, which leads her to Kan'u and company, who are greatly surprised of her identity (in fact she is nearly assaulted by Kōchū, and later Bachō, upon hearing of the name Ryūbi again). After being attacked twice by bandits (and almost being raped in the second attack) while venturing alone, she concedes to Chōun's suggestion of joining their group for protection. She is revealed to be an old classmate of Kōsonsan in primary school, even though she doesn't remember Kōsonsan's real name Pairen much to the latter's disgust.
 * She eventually gets her sword returned to her from Enjutsu, thanks to Shokatsuryō who conned Enjutsu with a "mysterious container", in the same fashion Enjutsu herself obtained the sword from Enshō. Sadly, she loses her sword again in an effort to help defend a village from an army of attacking bandits. However, she realize her bravery to sacrifice her sword to defend the village after a lecture from Kan'u so she decides to follow her example by making a vow of sisterhood as her younger sister (contrary to the historical fact that Liu Bei is the eldest of the three) but Chōhi was against it as Chōhi was already her younger sister so instead she becomes Kan'u older sister. By the third season, she, Kan'u and Chōhi have accepted calling each other sisters. Also to her surprise, she is given a new sword, claimed by the Tōka villagers to be a "sword left by the gods".

Chōun

 * Chō'un Shiryū (趙雲 子龍)
 * Real name: Sei (星)
 * Voiced by: Emi Motoi (visual novel, anime) (credited as Nana Nogami in the visual novel)
 * Visual novel version
 * When Kan'u was fighting the Tō army, she fought alongside Chōun for a while; when this war ended, Chōun met Kazuto and took a liking to him, promising to join his army later. She joins alongside Kōchū after the battle with Enshō. She has a strong obsession of menma of all kinds. Of Kazuto's harem, she can be considered "the weird one". As the (self-proclaimed) second master of love in the Three Kingdoms, she, along with Shion (who is the first), constantly give Kazuto advice in his love affairs. However, unlike Shion, she is usually straightforward and blunt, lacking much sense of shame. She also has a habit of running around the city as the masked hero of justice 'Butterfly Mask' in her patrol shift. Strangely, no one other than Kazuto and Shuri can recognize her true identity, despite only wearing a mask and her fighting style recognized. Furthermore, Chōun herself doesn't recognize how obvious her disguise is to Kazuto.Despite her seductive front, she can be surprisingly pure at times which shocks Kazuto. Unlike the other girls, she refers to Kazuto as "aruji" rather than "goshujin-sama".


 * Anime version
 * Chōun is a mysterious girl who appears calm, collected, and very powerful. She is the second person to join the group. She loves to tease Kan'u and other women frequently, and seems to relish whenever she gets up close with them. She also assumes the identity of a hero of justice named Butterfly Mask (Kachō Kamen), hence wearing a butterfly mask. Unlike in the visual novel, the majority of the characters--even Chouhi--recognized her right away.


 * In Shin Koihime Musō, Chō'un (in Kachō Kamen's form), saves Ryūbi from bandits with her secret technique, making Ryūbi develop a crush on Kachō Kamen. Chōun asked Ryūbi who saved her, and she 'innocently' said good things about her (Kachou Kamen is super cool, and noble), raising Chōun's mood high. Chōun is also scary when she's smiling (Sui will have nightmares about it and Shion won't let her daughter sees Chōun's smiling face). Chōun even continues teasing Kan'u in more ridiculous ways (like an embarrassing introduction of Kan'u to the bandits who attacked Ryūbi - and Chōun gets a lump on the head as a result).


 * In Koihime Musō's OVA, Chōun (as Kachō Kamen) appeared and swam, but Kōchū, who acted as the school's doctor, said that its okay, since Kachō Kamen's appearance looks like Chōun, and she immediately tied up and put into an unused class, until night and no one seems to notice her missing (even her daughter, who asked about her whereabouts before).

Bachō

 * Bachō Mōki (馬超 孟起)
 * Real name: Sui (翠)
 * Voiced by: Mio Ōgawa (visual novel), Maki Kobayashi (anime)
 * Visual novel version
 * When her father died, she joined Kazuto's army so she can get revenge on Sōsō. She joins during the war against Enshō. She becomes extremely embarrassed when alone with a man, especially Kazuto because of his tendency to tease, making her relationship with Kazuto start off awkward in the Base Phase events. She gets better emotionally later in, even willing to forgive Sousou.


 * Anime version
 * Chōhi's friend and daughter of the late Batō who was supposedly killed by Sōsō. Although she speaks like a man, she is really a simple, straight-forward, and easily embarrassed girl. She wields a simple looking yari but is very strong in both power and form. The third person to join the group.

She has a tendency to say "Hawawa" very often to the point of the being called the "Hawawa Strategist" by the soldiers.

 * Anime version

The rescue allows her to see how Kazuto is a good person, and she offers her services to him and fights at his side.

At first denying it.
 * Anime version

She also likes Kazuto, and is aggressive in pursuing him, going as far as to lead him out to a forest (on the pretense that Bachō was kidnapped), knock him unconscious, and have her way with him.


 * Anime Version

 * Real name: Karin (華琳)
 * Voiced by: Yukie Maeda (visual novel, anime) (credited as Kana Nojima in the visual novel)
 * Visual Novel Version
 * The ruler of the Gi kingdom. She rarely becomes upset and wishes to obtain beautiful females into her control, particularly Kan'u. In the first game after becoming a captive of the Shoku kingdom, she strongly questions and is annoyed by how Kazuto could still be alive due to his naiveness, unlordly behavior, and strong trust in others. However, she admits it is naiveness that gained him generals like Kan'u. She often questions how she could lose to Kazuto and in turn, Kazuto often questions how he could defeat her. In Koihime, she gives herself up after the war due to her duty, pride and sense of obligation with the understanding that Kazuto swore not to make her people suffer more. She starts to like him for his gentleness towards her and her subordinates when she surrendered instead of publicly beheading, and possibly raping, them. This is especially true as she realizes he does have keen insight and intelligence within his clumsy manner. As such, she includes him in her selective teasing of her subordinates. Such as not letting them know Kazuto not only had no intention of beheading them, but had promised and even given reasons not to do so. In Shin Koihime Musō, she is a brilliant and powerful warlord with the objective of reuniting China under her rule, and makes use of Kazuto's knowledge of Asian history to her advantage if he becomes her advisor. She later falls in love with Kazuto, but is too proud to admit it.


 * Anime version
 * The Blonde Queen of the kingdom of Gi and a General of the Kan empire. Sōsō likes beautiful women and likes to tease her subordinates, especially her strategist Jun'iku, but is also attracted to Kan'u. In fact, a famous scene in the first season's closing credits shows her "kidnapping" a dining Kan'u and then kissing her while inside a private bedchamber. Kan'u was later returned to the dining table with the rest of her friends, albeit covered in kiss marks and quite shaken. A brilliant ruler and military genius, she also isn't afraid to speak her mind in any situation if she doesn't like it. Despite being seen as a little cruel and calculating, she is in reality an honorable person. Sōsō also doesn't like being denied what she wants, and vows to get Kan'u in her bedchamber.
 * In Shin Koihime Musō, she is also revealed to be an excellent chef.

Kakōton

 * Kakōton Genjō (夏侯惇 元譲)
 * Real name: Shunran (春蘭)
 * Voiced by: Harumi Asai (visual novel, anime) (credited as Haruka Fukai in the visual novel)
 * Visual Novel Version
 * She is the elder sister of the Kakō sisters and is also Sōsō's cousin and a commander of the Gi kingdom. She is strong on the battlefield, but is extremely straight forward in her thinking, shown by her lack of understanding the meanings of proverbs. Like many of Sōsō's subordinates, she enjoys being complimented or acknowledged by her ruler. In the first game after becoming a captive of Shoku, she is greatly annoyed by Kazuto, especially when Sousou doesn't deny showing interest in him. Like most of his captives, she becomes less hostile later on and starts to show feelings for him in a more obvious manner. However, she was already showing signs of liking him in ways that only someone who knew her well could see. Such as telling Kazuto over and over she was going to kill him, after hearing him use Sousou's true name and that he had slept with her again, yet did no more than make a small cut on his neck. Under normal circumstances she'd have killed him on the spot rather than commenting over and over about it. Kakōen even comments at a later point that Kakōton really likes him despite the negative comments earlier in the day as her personality is the more direct action type and has just cut down others on the spot for less. She is the first member of Gi's head leadership to call him My Lord (although secondary to her allegiance to Sousou.) This prompts Sousou and Kakōen to do so as well soon after. Then to tease Kazuto they all called him My Lord in front of Kan'u who knew there was a lot more not being said.

In Shin Koihime Musō, she tends to exhibit a somewhat childish behavior (like when she cried after dropping and damaging a precious object when a horseman passed too close to her), and she has an awkward view of Kazuto, with a tendency to blush while conversing with him, as if trying to hide any romantic feelings she may have towards him behind her strong steadfast front.


 * Anime version
 * Sōsō's cousin and one of her commanders. The elder twin of the Kakō Sisters, she is a strong, prideful, hot-headed person yet is understanding and loyal to her cousin whom she loves and understands her feelings.

 * Voiced by: Aoi Kisaragi (visual novel), Airi Yoshida (anime)
 * Visual Novel Version
 * The younger sister of the Kakō sisters and also Sōsō's cousin and a commander of the Gi kingdom. Unlike her sister, she is calm and very intelligent. In the first game she shows no signs of resent for Kazuto after being captured and even go as far as placing him as her 5th favorite later on. (First three are Sousou [Karin], Kakōton [Shunran], and Kyocho [Kii]. Kakōton hints that the fourth is Ganryō [General Toshi of En] which Kakōen neither confirms nor denies.) Outside Sousou, she's the only one to be capable of calming her sister. In Shin Koihime Musō, she has a normal friendly relationship towards Kazuto, and often asks him to bear with her older sister's odd behavior.


 * Anime version

 * Real name: Sheren (雪連)
 * Voiced by: Yuki Satou (visual novel), Yoneshima Nozomi (anime)
 * Visual novel version
 * The queen of Go Kingdom, the eldest sister of the Son family, and leader of the Go faction in Shin Koihime Musō. She's nicknamed "Little Conqueror", due to her ambitious dream of unifying the land. If Kazuto joins the Go Kingdom, her tenure as leader ends when she is assassinated prior to a battle against forces of the Gi kingdom, subsequently passing the mantle to her sister Sonken, and causing the Go faction to misunderstand that Sōsō is the one responsible for her assassination.


 * However, in Shoku route, she survives and as such appears in the Moeshouden fandisc, which assumes Shoku route ending. She relinquishes the position of the queen of Go in favor of her sister Sonken, and becomes mostly a comic relief character - a carefree person who occasionally maintains order in the streets and takes wine as reward. She often comes up with silly plans and behaves idiotically in a state of drunkenness, much to the embarrassment of her peers in Go.


 * She doesn't appear in the first game outside of a flashback, but her dream affected Shuyu deeply.


 * Anime version
 * The queen of Go Kingdom and the eldest sister of the Son family. Originally set to appear in Shin Koihime Musō, she made her first appearance in the anime. While loving and caring to her sisters and subordinates, she is ruthless in battle and to her enemies. To fulfill the last wishes of her late mother, Sonken, she has led her kingdom into a long war to unite the country. While her methods have been scrutinized, she admittedly accepts responsibility for her actions since she would rather have her hands bloody rather than have her family suffer the same fate as she has. She hopes to abdicate in favor of her sister Sonken and retire with her lover Shūyu after fulling her mother's wishes.


 * In the OVA, Sonsaku was depicted as a drop-out of the academy she used to attend with her sisters and always lounges about in their dorm room, playing video and computer games. Shuuyu kept having sentimental thoughts about Sonsaku as if she already died, much to the latter's annoyance, often breaking the 4th wall and gripe to Shuuyu that she is not really dead.

Sonken

 * Sonken Chūbō (孫権 仲謀)
 * Real name: Renfa (蓮華)
 * Voiced by: Harumi Sakurai (visual novel, anime) (credited as Kazane in the visual novel)


 * Visual novel version
 * She is the leader of the Go faction. Unlike her sister, she prefers peace for the people. She is insecure about being a ruler and questions herself often whether she's fit to carry the lineage's pride. She also possesses decent fighting skills, but has only used them in training, not actual battle. This lack of real battle experience caused her to fail to land even a single hit on Kan'u before being defeated. After her defeat, she gives herself up as a punishment for her incompetence in being a ruler. However, she begins to develop feelings for Kazuto as he accepts her as simply a girl rather than a ruler, and for always treating her and her subordinates more as friends than prisoners during their time as "hostages". It is also slightly hinted by Ukitsu and even Renfa herself that she already developed a crush for Kazuto earlier, possibly in their alliance against Gi. Of Kazuto's harem, she is arguably the closest to a normal girlfriend in the way she acts.
 * In Shin Koihime Musō, her older sister Sonsaku takes her place as the leader of Go faction. Her hair has also been greatly lengthened. However if Kazuto joins the Go faction, Sonsaku is eventually killed in action early in the campaign, and Sonken takes over with a heavy heart, cutting her hair upon doing so. She refused to accept Kazuto at first, but later falls in love with him.


 * Anime version
 * Princess of Go, second sister of the Son family, and Sonsaku's younger sister. Unlike her older sister, she is less ruthless, uneasy about herself, and more kind-hearted. She worries about how her sister's wars are affecting everyone which, unknown to her, her sister is doing is for their sake. Her sister has chosen her to be her successor; she knows that she will be a better ruler who will heal the wounds the nation has suffered from the wars.

In Shin Koihime Musō, if Kazuto joins Go faction, Shūyu eventually dies in action at the end of the campaign after the Gi faction is defeated.

However, unlike Kakōton who is Sousou's bodyguard, she feels thankful for Kazuto as he has made Sonken more happy and lighthearted compared to when Sonken was still a ruler, which she wasn't capable of. In Koihime, she's one of the very few that actually think highly of his kindness rather than to criticize it as a weakness. Unlike other girls, she wears a female version of fundoshi.
 * Anime version
 * A loyal bodyguard and warrior to the Son family. While normally calm, she becomes hotheaded when someone questions her loyalty to the Son's.

She was furious when Ryomo almost failed to protect Sonken when a thief snuck into the palace storeroom and Sonken was the one who subdued the thief. Even though Ryomo redeemed herself by preventing an assassination attempt against Sonsaku, Kannei discharged her from her troop by telling her to relinquish her fundoshi, the symbol of her troop. However, it was revealed that Kannei requested Shuuyu to take Ryomo in as an apprentice strategist to Sonken, feeling that Ryomo is more suited as a strategist rather than a bodyguard.

She is described as Songo's longest and most trusted adviser. She played an essential part in getting Sonsaku and Shuuya to stop fighting after the former drank the special drink that the latter purchased in secret for their special occasion.

 * Real name: Ashe (亞莎)
 * Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi (anime)

 * A bespectacled officer and a new character in Shin Koihime Musō. She was recommended by Shoken for her talent and help with the rebellion against Enjutsu. Sonsaku plans to train her to be Sonken's right-hand man. Her eyesight is pretty lackluster, to the point that she tends to see double of everything. The cause seems to be because she studies at night frequently. In one of the late studies, Kazuto brings her a snack called Goma Dango. She liked it so much that she became a frequent purchaser and in Moeshouden she went up to the stage and recommend that everyone try it as well. She is mentioned by name only in Koihime where Kan'u shows slight irritation for just seeing her on the battlefield. (An obvious nod to Lu Meng's Invasion of Jing Providence which led to Guan Yu's historical death.)


 * Anime version
 * Unlike her scholarly counterpart in the game, Ryomō starts as a warrior and serves in the personal guard under Kannei unlike real history, which was in the exactly vice versa. She is eventually relieved of her duties to be appointed as an apprentice strategist to Sonken, whom she appears to have developed a crush on during their time spent together (it was implied that Sonken also feels this way). She is also near-sighted in one eye, unable to see closely without her monocle, which Sonken bought to help with this vision problem

At the append's story ending, Yenren says that "The continent isn't for Sousou alone.

Yenren than accepts Kazuto's story and decides to re adjust his story to make him out to be a 'messenger of heaven' to improve the moral and position of the Go family. While she intends to use Kazuto's knowledge about future battles, she instructs him to never tell her of the death of significant figures in them. She then commands that Kazuto spread his 'spiritual seed' to the woman of the Go army to strengthen the impression that the Go had the heavens on their side and in exchange she will place him under her protection and feed him, to which he accepts. Yenren proceeds to lead the Go army to several victories, and even proceeds to have a sexual relationship with Kazuto in order to have more children. She continues to train Sheren in ruling and combat but admits that she's concerned as to if Sheren has the right mentality for Ruling.

Fed up being tricked, she and her minions tried summoning their guardian spirit to get rid of the group, however, it turned Paya Paya from a small but cute pink elephant to a gigantic, horrifying mammoth that starts to wreak havoc. Thankfully, the two groups decided to work together and turn Paya Paya back to normal. Eventually, Mōkaku and her minions decided to accompany the group back to Touka village, both to provide support and (for personal reasons) check out the women with rather big breasts, which they often like to play with.

The reason she tried unsuccessfully to kill Gien was that during a martial arts competition, Gien accidentally killed her older sister in the heat of battle. Kotsu thinks that Gien had to have cheated to have won, as her sister was very strong. Batai convinces Kotsu that Gien herself is strong and has honor, thus won the fight fairly. Kotsu concedes this, but Gien still killed her sister, so she claims that she'll become stronger herself and come back to kill Gien someday. She is last seen running back into a forest. Unlike her historical counterpart, Gotsutotsukotsu is rather more diminutive than the real and gigantic Wutugu.

Fake Ryūbi

 * Nise-Ryūbi (偽劉備)
 * Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (anime)
 * Anime version

He first appears in episode 11 leading the Tōka village militia against bandits where Aisha and Rinrin helps them defeat the bandits. Gentoku claims to be a descendant of Ryūshō and was able to get an army from the feudal lord of Tōka as he and his followers were on a quest to defeat the bandits. However, his army was defeated 7 times and which had led to his reputation known as the commander who loses in every battle which at one point the lord was thinking of throwing him out if he lost again. Thanks to the help of Aisha, Rinrin, and Shuri's strategies, Gentoku and his men were able to defeat the bandits one by one. He is also good with women as he was the first person to recognize that Aisha was the famous Beautiful Black-haired Bandit Fighter without the usual skepticism of her beauty, and he even charmed General Kashin herself, earning her trust.
 * As his reputation grows, along with his alleged relationship with Aisha (as he resembled her late older brother), Rinrin began to distrust him as she suspect something suspicious about him. These suspicions were confirmed when Gentoku and his men attended an imperial war meeting held by General Kashin, Tōka is attacked by a large army of bandits, and he refused to go and help the village, instead is more focus on his mission to defeat rebels, given to him by Kashin. Aisha tries to make him reconsider but he tries to seduce Aisha to join him in his mission instead and forget the village. Realizing that Gentoku never did care about saving people and was only interested fame, glory and his twisted view of justice, Aisha slaps him and leaves him along with Bachō to save their friends. Without those two, Gentoku's army was defeated in battle where he receive a severe scolding from General Kashin. He tries to save face by returning to Tōka only to meet two unexpected guests, Kōchū and Riri who immediately recognize him as the man who kidnapped Riri and threatened Kōchū to commit assassination. (Why he did this is unknown but from what Kōchū has said about him, it was part of his crimes that he committed prior to falsely taking Ryūbi's name.) His identity exposed, he runs away where Kōchū concludes he was nothing more than a no good impostor who lied about his ancestry and identity to gain fame.


 * In Shin Koihime Musō, it is revealed that he stole the name Ryūbi Gentoku from a girl (the real Ryūbi Gentoku) along with her sword prior to his appearance in the first series. He then becomes the target of the said girl, who intends to retrieve her sword and clear her name. Whatever happened to him after this is unknown, but most presumably he is either in hiding or captured and imprisoned for impersonation.
