Gorobei Katayama

As a master swordsman who uses his combat prowess for entertainment, this agile samurai serves as Kambei’s indispensable right-hand man during the village's defense. Known for his incredible acrobatics and ability to deflect arrows mid-air, he brings a lighthearted, often humorous energy to even the most perilous battles. Though he maintains a carefree attitude and believes that survival is the ultimate victory, his unsettling fascination with bloodshed reveals a darker, more complex side to his playful personality.
