->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanetoShiozawa (original UsefulNotes/PCEngine version), Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (UsefulNotes/Xbox360 remake)

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Kogama is a minature toad with a lovable smirk and a ''Chonmage'' hairstyle.

* {{Bishonen}}

* TheChick: This applies more to Tsunade in the remake, in which she is much more feminine and emotional.
* TheCutie

* ShesGotLegs: In the Xbox 360 remake. Her new design has the bottom part of her gi resemble a loincloth, making her bare quite shapely thighs for her size.

* AnAxeToGrind

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[WordOfGod Series head artist Yoshiteru Tsujino]] confirmed that Jashinsai’s appearance was based on ''Creator/MaxVonSydow''’s portrayal of Ming the Merciless in ''Film/FlashGordon''.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[WordOfGod Series head artist Yoshiteru Tsujino]] confirmed that Jashinsai’s appearance was based on Max Von Sydow’s portrayal of Ming the Merciless in [[Film/‘’FlashGordon’’]].

* EvilCounterpart: To Ziria. Both represent aspects of the TricksterArchetype. [[LovableRogue Ziria]] uses his thievery to help the innocent, while [[MasterOfIllusion Genoumaru]] -on the other hand- uses his hallucinations to torture and manipulate people, at times even [[ForTheevulz for]] [[{{Sadist}} no reason]].

* TricksterArchetype: He relies more on illusions and deceit, rather than brute strength.

* {{Expy}}: Of King Piccolo from ''Manga/{{DragonBall}}''. Green skin? Check. Evil old sorcerer? Check. Corrupt member of an ancient race of exclusively male sages? Check. Creates demonic "sons" to do his bidding? Check.

* TheHeavy: Is this in both versions of ''Ziria''. He is by far the most annoying and persistent general, as he escapes the battle three times during the first game, and transforms into a much more powerful form for his final boss fight. Genoumaru's role as this expands during the remake, where he pesters and stalls Ziria all throughout the game. And it gets even worse during the game's climax, where he makes everything harder [[spoiler:by he faking his death and kidnapping Tsukihime to exploit her psychic powers]].

* TheHeavy: Is this in both versions of ''Ziria''. He is by far the most annoying and persistent general, as he escapes three times during the first game. He also blasts Ziria away with his spells multiple times throughout the remake. Gennoumaru also makes everything harder during the game's climax, [[spoiler:when he fakes his death and kidnaps Tsukihime to exploit her psychic powers]].

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: During battle Kogama can into a giant, fire-breathing toad deal massive damage to enemies. The transformation can be seen clearly in the Xbox 360 remake as well as in ''Kabuki Klash'', but is anything but implied in the PC Engine version, where the damage it deals grows alongside Ziria's.

* TheUnfavorite: Played with. In ''Tengai Makyou 2'', visiting the snake hermit reveals that he raised both Orochimaru and Kabuki; the hermit follows by stating that he is proud of Orochimaru for his stoic demeanor and elegant manners, but complains about Kabuki being flashy, loud, and downright ridiculous. It turns out that Kabuki is the one that takes the most out of the Snake hermit in terms of personality and appearance, and is the most popular both within the game and with the audience. Thus, the Snake hermit complaining about Kabuki all the time is his way of paying more attention to the latter than to Orochimaru.
