Giichi uses a unique fighting style and flail-like weapon. Forged in the fighting pits of Jima he has learned what it takes to survive. He is a bane to Samurai that fight in well-rehearsed routines, he does not follow the rules they have come to expect and his attacks are difficult to anticipate. Giichi understood early on that he would never compete with the Buto in the ring, he did however learn what he could and has impressive Jumo skills.

Whether with yari or the fabled Arquebus the ashigaru stationed at Ryu are staunchly loyal to the Takashi and will defend their clan to the death. They are trained and drilled relentlessly to ensure that in battle they act and react instinctively, unflinching as they wait for orders from their Gunso or samurai commanders. The Arquebusiers see it as such an honor to be picked into the regiment that it is said that they even take them on their final journey to Hantaisoku. The fear their weapons create is rightly deserved as there is little that can stand up to raw power, steel, wood and fire fused into this fearsome device.

Hiryu is an Ashigaru hailing from the city of Eddo, distinguished from his fellow Ashigaru in Ryu by the heavier armour he wears. He also skilfully wields the Naginata favoured in the North, rather than the Yari; which is standard issue in Ryu. A life long soldier, Hiryu is a firm believer in rank and file fighting. He understands the ebb and flow of the line and is at his best in battle when fighting shoulder to shoulder with his fellow Ashigaru.

A veteran of the Dragon wars, tales of his courage at the battle of Hendai are still told today in the streets of Tsumaga.

From an early age Isamu exuded an air of authority and a calm head in the heat of the moment. It came as no surprise that he was raised to the rank of Gunso quickly during his first term of service to the Takashi clan, a position he quickly settled into.

Life for Kaede is just another performance. He learned his trade not in the luck houses but on the streets of Jima. Where acting the part could be the difference between eating or not, a beating or not, living or not. He treats combat like a show, as battle progresses, he works through the three acts of a play, adapting his style for each act in order to create a frantic ending where each dramatic death hastens the finale!

The lowest ranks of the Silvermoon are made up of the Kyoaku-Han. Violent, ambitious and driven young men and women who seek the power and wealth the Silvermoon can offer them. It is unclear the exact rites and rituals required when one joins one of the Silvermoon gumis due to the great secrecy surrounding them and the fact that once initiated there is only one way the leave. Death. There is certainly no lack of those willing to swear total loyalty and obedience to the organisation, bringing with them a cunning and tenacious hunger to the battle, using the tricks and tactics learned on the streets rather than in a traditional dojo or samurai school, to gain victory for themselves and the Silvermoon.

Takashi Oka is as deadly as she is beautiful. Raised in the luxury of Ryu she is a great power in the court and has learned to use the weapons gifted to her just as expertly as those crafted of polished steel and lacquered wooded in the dojo. A nimble and dexterous warrior she wields the traditional weapon of a lady of the samurai caste, with a natural ease and elegance. She moves across the battlefield with the poise and grace of a dancer, avoiding blows and missiles as if they were not even there.

This giant Buto is the personal bodyguard of Harukichi and was selected for obvious reasons. His prowess in the Jumo arenas quickly attracted attention, it was clear to most he was destined for a top position within the Syndicate, and he has not disappointed. Constantly vigilant to any threat, and unshakeable in his devotion to the defence of his Oyabun, Manu has continuously put himself in harm’s way, catching most would be assassins off guard with his prowess in melee, deftly blocking blows until his master is safe, then and only then the time comes to crush bones with fists the size of mallets.

The legendary Jumo sensei, and current Oyabun of the Iron Fist gumi, Oda is small only in stature, for everything else about this no nonsense boss is anything but. Oda likes nothing more than to drill and sculpt his famous Buto into pure weapons of mass and muscle. His physique might prevent him from demonstrating his extensive knowledge of the art of Jumo but he is a skilled and quick teacher, barking instructions and jabbing directions with his ornate fan, swiftly turning even the amateur into a competent wrestler and a warrior into a master. Tautolu is never far from his diminutive master, either stepping forward to clear his path through the streets of Jima and saddling his famous platform, allowing his sensei a better vantage point from which to command his men. Keenly aware of danger and quickly removing threats with a crushingly accurate and brutal blow from his tetsubo, Tautolu is the bite to Oda’s bark.
