Kyuubei Yagyuu

Raised as a boy to uphold the prestigious Yagyuu clan's traditions, this descendant of Koshinori and Binbokusai Yagyuu eventually chose to embrace an identity beyond gendered expectations. A legendary prodigy on the battlefield, their unparalleled swordsmanship allows them to clash with elite fighters like Gintoki Sakata and Hijikata Toushirou. Although they once unsuccessfully attempted to claim Tae Shimura as a fiancé, they now maintain a friendly bond with her despite lingering romantic feelings.
