Taizou Hasegawa

Once a prestigious official serving the Bakufu, this disgraced former bodyguard fled into exile after failing to protect Prince Hata. Now notoriously known as "Madao," this "useless middle-aged man" wanders Edo working various part-time jobs, often struggling to find stability due to his intimidating appearance. Despite his frequent professional failures, he clings to his signature sunglasses as a symbol of his former glory, eventually embracing a new, resilient path toward living life on his own terms.
