Schen Karr

Named after Michael Schenker.
Vai Staebe
He is the youngest in the High Master's entourage and his swordsmanship is inexperienced, but his rigidity makes him the No. 3 samurai. He is also skilled in enchantment magic. He has a crush on Yoko, and is aware of his rivalry with Dark Schneider. His mother lives in a samurai house.
Named after Steve Vai.
- Butt-Monkey: Of all the samurai, he's the one most prone to suffer from slapstick.

He is very quiet and is regarded as a mysterious presence by his comrades.
Named after Angus Young.
- The Voiceless: Doesn't speak, because doing so would give away his true identity as Abilgail.

A magical swordsman who uses gravity to crush opponents with his sword.

Hammet
Voiced by: Shoumaru Zouza

Mohi
Voiced by: Seiyu Fujiwara
One of the samurai and a friend of Vai. It is unclear whether he is called Mohi because of his Mohawk head or because it's his real name.
