Kouichirou Nabatame

Kouichirou was once the captain of Mirai Kingdom's Kodokushi, an elite band of samurai dedicated to protecting the masses.

He is a peerless swordsman, and has been since a young age. Other people have always hated and feared Kouichirou because of his skill with a blade.

Despite being an efficient and ruthless killer, Kouichirou is a kind, charismatic man who wants nothing more than to live in peace.

Kouichirou initially sees Chiyo as his chance at redemption, but over time he realizes that he's suited to the role of a family man, and resolves to protect Chiyo with his life.
