Description
Kenroku Sanada is a ninja exiled from early Edo-period Japan in 1600 after slaying an evil magistrate. He claims blood relation to the Sanada clan, Sengoku-daimyo of Shinano Domain. Before exile, he settled with a woman. Transported by boat alongside Sensui Kanzaki, a storm and mysterious light hurled them to 2030 Tokyo.
He presents as a young adult with short blue hair—originally black—featuring long bangs and a tail. His attire merges traditional garments with modern touches like a vest and sneakers.
Cheerful and energetic, Kenroku adapts swiftly to challenges, adopting a pragmatic combat style. He learns Western technology rapidly, expressing enthusiasm for new tools. Though initially self-conscious about his ninja identity, he grows accepting of changes like his hair color.
Trained as a ninja, he wields kunai, razor wires for assassinations, and kusarigama taught by his friend Shion. His exceptional speed aids evasion, and he repurposes environmental objects like fire extinguishers or grenades. Against 2030’s Gibia monsters, he incorporates modern explosives and grenades into his tactics. He also binds or kills Gibia with wires despite physical strain.
Kenroku harbors a complex rivalry with Sensui Kanzaki. They dueled inconclusively at the Battle of Sekigahara after Kenroku recognized Sensui’s dual-sword style, vowing to resume their fight. In 2030, they cooperate against shared threats while sustaining their unresolved conflict.
Arriving in ruined Tokyo, Kenroku joins a survivor group led by Kathleen Funada and Dr. Yoshinaga. He aids defenses against Gibia, burning tents for light and deploying grenades against resilient monsters. He learns of the Gibia virus and survivors’ hardships.
Tragedy marks his journey through inherited weapons: he wields the spiked club Douzan after Yukinojyo Onikura’s death, honoring their bond, and carries sickles from his wife’s deceased brother.
His past includes losing his wife Okuni. Kathleen Funada’s resemblance to Okuni forges a poignant link. Beyond survival, Kenroku strives to protect others in this harsh world, navigating alliances and clashes with factions like the outlaw Galients.
