Ayamaro

As the magistrate of Kokakyo and adoptive father to Ukyo, this merchant-type ruler imparted his business knowledge to Ukyo. When an imperial envoy was murdered, he initiated a samurai hunt, leading to his demotion and Ukyo inheriting his title. After Ukyo's actions, he worked in warehouses, eventually joining a rescue mission with samurai to escape Ukyo. Ultimately, he appears content, dressed in Shikimoribito attire while overseeing construction, suggesting a surprising shift in his life.
