It is because of this job that he despises large breasts, since he claims that after years of staring and analyzing them he has grown tired of them. After Chifusa's defection, his darker side comes up, revealing that he is as ruthless as his father and is willing to go to brutal lengths to preserve Manyū rule. It is implied that he is either in love with or holds certain feelings for Ouka. Kagefusa's assistant and best friend. Very much like what Kaede is to Chifusa, Kokage is eternally loyal to Kagefusa, even though Kagefusa is a lot sterner to Kokage than Chifusa is to Kaede. Kokage is very inexperienced in combat and commonly acts as a spy and reconnaissance agent for Kagefusa, looking for information to track down Chifusa and Kaede's location. The lord of the Manyu clan, the ruler of Japan and Chifusa's father. He is the leader of the Manyu and the series' main antagonist.

He is shown to be very cold and vengeful, issuing a death warrant for his own daughter because of her defection and spares no expense to have her stopped. Chifusa's kind-hearted older sister. She is the most calm person of her family and despite her general mercy and good nature, she still is an enemy to Chifusa after her defection.

After seeing her bare breasts be flashed accidentally during the contest, Mie becomes obsessed with Chifusa and begins to try to find her in order to touch her breasts. He eventually flees from his palace and becomes a simple citizen in a small town, later running into Chifusa and Kaede again. He helps Kaede rescue Chifusa from the palace of a rival lord and as a reward he is finally allowed to play with Chifusa's breasts, an honor he rejects out of respect for Chifusa. He then returns to his palace and resumes his lordship
