Tokugawa Takechiyo
The grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who founded the Edo Shogunate. As the heir apparent, he was given the childhood name Takechiyo, the same as Ieyasu. However, from a young age, he could see guardian spirits and spent his time drawing them, leading many within the household to believe that his talented younger brother, Kunimatsu, would become the next shogun. At one point, Ieyasu, who had become the Ōgosho clarified the order of seniority and declared that Takechiyo was the rightful successor.
Tokugawa Kunimatsu
The grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of the Edo Shogunate, and Takechiyo’s younger brother. From a young age, he was exceptionally talented and favored by their parents, leading many within the household to regard him as the next shogun.

Yagyu Munenori
“The swordsmanship instructor for the Tokugawa shogunate. His father, the swordsman Yagyu Sekishusai, gained an audience with Tokugawa Ieyasu and demonstrated the art of mutō-dori (disarming an opponent unarmed), which led both father and son to serve Ieyasu. Munetoshi distinguished himself at the Battle of Sekigahara, earning the restoration of the Yagyu family’s former lands. As a swordsman, he established the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu school and was appointed the shogunate’s official swordsmanship instructor, personally training Takechiyo in the art of the sword from a young age.
