Shinomori Aoshi

Shinomori Aoshi was raised a ninja of the Oniwabanshou, who worked for the Shogunate government during the Edo period. He helped to raise Makimachi Misao from childhood as a member of the Oniwabanshou. At the suggestion of Kashiwazaki Nenji (better known as Okina), Shinomori was given the position of Okashira at the age of fifteen, in time for the Oniwabanshou to defend Edo Castle.

Aoshi's Subordinates included Beshimi, who specialized in darts and poison, Hyotoko, whose name literally means "Fire Man" and uses flint-and-steel teeth to breathe fire. Also were Han'nya, a skilled martial artist and deft ninjutsu practitioner (also his unofficial second in command), and Shikijo, a "muscle man".
