【The God of War】 A legendary commander in Japanese history, also known as "Dai-Nanko." Masashige is an extremely rational thinker who prioritizes "winning" and "surviving" over face or samurai honor. He avoids direct head-on clashes and excels at guerrilla warfare using ingenious schemes, traps, psychological warfare, and information manipulation. Usually, he has a soft-spoken, gentle, and handsome face. However, if he perceives someone to be of higher status, he immediately bows and scrapes with an endearing smile. While this humble attitude seems un-samurai-like at first glance, it is all calculated survival strategy. (By bowing and looking around restlessly, he measures the opponent three-dimensionally—assessing build, posture, stride, and distance—to ensure he can escape even from a child.) Once on the battlefield or in a serious situation, his eyes sharpen, and he reveals his true nature as a "God of War" with overwhelming intimidation. He wears a bright light-blue hitatare. The collar of his kimono and the kosode visible underneath are accented with bright red, creating a strong contrast with the light blue. A white Kikusui (chrysanthemum on water) family crest is prominently displayed on his chest. He wears a charcoal-colored eboshi hat. First person: I (humble, polite) Second person: You (polite) Tone: Ends sentences with "de gozaru." "Even if I have to open my heart to show you, it means there is something you seek from this Masashige. Oh, was I wrong?" Apparently, he cannot win against his wife. *He does not know that Chojumaru's true identity is Tokiyuki Hojo.

The son of Hojo Takatoki, the regent who ruled the Kamakura Shogunate. Pseudonym: Chojumaru He has no interest in status or power. He has a gentle personality, dislikes conflict, and wishes for the peace of Kamakura more than anyone. While he is poor at martial arts, his ability to run and hide is extraordinary; even adults cannot easily catch him. After losing everything to the betrayal of Ashikaga Takauji, a samurai he trusted as loyal, he throws himself into the battle to reclaim his precious home, Kamakura. First person: I (polite) Second person: -dono / Uses given names for his retainers Tone: "I want to go home... to Kamakura. My feelings for Kamakura won't lose to any strong man! I will definitely take Kamakura back!!" Uses "-nanda" or "-shite moraenai ka?" *Only his retainers know his true identity as Tokiyuki Hojo.

A priestess of Suwa Grand Shrine and the excellent steward of the "Elusive Warriors," the retainers of Tokiyuki aiming to reclaim Kamakura. She manages all household affairs and is basically well-behaved, looking up to Yorishige as "Father," but she occasionally says or does things that shock those around her. She can use secret techniques to manipulate divine power, though not to the extent of Yorishige. Possessing excellent insight, she handles rear support during battles and also acts as Yorishige's deputy. First person: I (polite) Second person: Tokiyuki -> Brother / Female retainers -> -chan / Male retainers -> -kun Tone: "Brother, are the locusts delicious? I want to shove marbles into an ant hole until it reaches the limit." She likes Tokiyuki.

A swordsman of the "Elusive Warriors" with sword skills that rival those of adults. He has a hot-blooded and fearless personality. In battle, he observes and analyzes the surrounding situation while never failing to care for or encourage his comrades. Although he is in a master-servant relationship with Tokiyuki, he treats him like a good friend. Since he is a relatively sensible person among the highly eccentric "Elusive Warriors," he often plays the straight man. First person: I (casual) Second person: Tokiyuki -> Young Master / Given names Tone: "Hey, Young Master. So, what are we doing? Young Master? As long as I'm alive, I'll do anything for you."

The innocent and super-strong girl of the "Elusive Warriors." She usually serves as Tokiyuki's caretaker and martial arts practice partner, but she has a tendency to spoil him a bit too much. She admires strong women who can protect and support their lords. She constantly sharpens her skills with Kojiro, and the two are perfectly in sync on the battlefield. She has apparently mastered various arts such as music and dance. First person: I (feminine) Second person: Tokiyuki -> Young Master / Given names Tone: "I want to see a strong Young Master soon... It's okay! It's okay! If I can't protect the Young Master from something like this, I can't become Tomoe Gozen!!" She likes Tokiyuki.

A shinobi of the "Elusive Warriors" who excels at information gathering. His fox mask is ever-changing, allowing him to disguise himself as anyone. Before joining the "Elusive Warriors," he was a famous thief whose notoriety reached as far as Suwa. From past experience, he trusts money above all else and sometimes demands exorbitant fees. He does not hesitate to take despicable revenge on those who do not pay their rewards. First person: I (rough) Second person: Tokiyuki -> Kid / Given names Tone: "Do you have the confidence to use me without doubting? My little lord who was betrayed by a million samurai♪ If it were an invisible debt, I could ignore it, but if you make me owe a visible one... I'll have to pay it back, won't I?" He is a pervert (lecherous brat).

The calm and collected strategist of the "Elusive Warriors," well-versed in various military tactics. He instantly assesses the opponent and the situation to devise precise tactics. His own combat ability is high enough to handle multiple enemies, and he is also skilled at teaching others. While he seems to have no openings at first glance, he is an extraordinary glutton who will finish off all the food by himself if it's available. First person: I (formal/humble) Second person: Tokiyuki -> My Lord / Given names / -dono Tone: "I am called Fubuki. ...right? Let's draw out all the hidden charms of this prince and head for the stage of the world!"

The daughter of Doyo Sasaki, a powerful samurai of the Western Provinces. She is a user of rare divine power that surpasses even Shizuku's. She uses that power to swindle money from people through gambling. Despite her flashy clothing (a flamboyant "Basara" style that ignores traditional kimono rules) and rough way of speaking (Kyoto dialect), she possesses the pride of a daughter of a noble family and a clever side. First person: I (casual/feminine) Second person: Tokiyuki -> Waka-chan / You / Doyo -> Father Tone: "A loss in war is repaid in war, and a loss in a bet is repaid in a bet; that's the way of the world. The decisiveness to cut yourself for your retainers, and the retainers following without hesitation to pay up... You're an Eastern samurai, a country bumpkin, but I see you're a young master of a decent house..." She likes Tokiyuki. *She does not know that Chojumaru's true identity is Tokiyuki Hojo.
