| 11 | !!Debuting in ''Samurai Shodown'' |
| 12 | |
| 13 | [[folder:Hikyaku]] |
| 14 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/01_hikayaku.png]] |
| 15 | -> '''Origin:''' ''[[FeudalJapan Iyo Province, Japan]]'' |
| 16 | -> '''Weapon(s):''' [[ImprobableWeaponUser Bindle]] |
| 17 | |
| 18 | ->A character who was first introduced as the delivery man that ran through the stages and threw items into fights. |
| 19 | He is based on the archaic Japanese courier, men who would need to run near marathons to and from places for the shogunate. They developed their sprinting system due to the possibility of being killed for the information they carried; many men also collapsed or died from exhaustion due to the strenuous ordeal of running non-stop for a day's time. He is playable only in the Game Boy version. |
| 20 | ---- |
| 21 | * TheCameo: In the endings of several other characters and even in other games. |
| 22 | * NoNameGiven: "Hikyaku" is just his profession's title. His real name is unknown. |
| 23 | * PowerUp: He runs across the stages' background, throwing either food (which restore health), bombs (which damage the characters) or treasure (which gives additional points). |
| 24 | * PromotedToPlayable: In the Game Boy port. |
| 25 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: As he does when running by in other versions, he can throw a bomb as one of his special attacks in the Game Boy port. |
| 26 | [[/folder]] |
| 27 | |
| 28 | [[folder:Ambrosia]] |
| 29 | -> '''Origin:''' ''[[HellOnEarth Makai (the demon world)]]'' |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ->Ambrosia is the Dark God of Makai (Demon World) Amakusa and Mizuki were trying to revive in the series. He needs both the energies from the Palenke Stone and Tangiers Stone to resurrect his body into the mortal realm. Developers state that there was no model in mind for either him or Mizuki. His name is derived from the Greek word ''ambrosios'', which roughly means "the immortal one". |
| 32 | ---- |
| 33 | * AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Maju, Mizuki's pet, is implied to be a small manifestation of Ambrosia, although [[TheBeastmaster she keeps it in check]]. This would be [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] in different ways in the RPG and in Samurai Shodown 64. |
| 34 | * AmbiguouslyRelated: With 64's Yuga. When fans pointed out the similarities to developers, they replied that the two characters' relation to one another is unknown. Current speculation is that both of Yuga and Ambrosia are sides of the same evil force, with Ambrosia being something more abstract and global, while Yuga is a standalone individual "person" serving as a kind of avatar. [[spoiler: ''2019'' makes this even more confusing, as in Shiki's ending she ends up defeating Shizuka Gozen, who is a puppet of Ambrosia. This causes Shiki's brainwashing to suddenly start wearing off, only for Yuga to appear and put her back into a dormant state.]] |
| 35 | * BigBad: Of the whole series. |
| 36 | * BodyHorror: As the RPG's final boss, he's fought as a grotesque mass of flesh and organs. |
| 37 | * TheCameo: |
| 38 | ** Apart of his mentions of the series and being in the background of the FinalBoss of the first two games and ''RPG'', Ambrosia and Mizuki make a cameo in a bonus stage for ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters KOF: Maximum Impact 2]]''. It reenacts Mizuki's stage in ''II''. |
| 39 | ** In anime, also makes appearances in TheMovie and ''Asura's Zanmaden'' OVA. |
| 40 | * DemonLordsAndArchdevils: Ambrosia is the Dark God of Makai. |
| 41 | * TheDragon: Amakusa and Mizuki were his representants on Earth who tried to revive him in the mortal land. |
| 42 | * TheGhost: Widely mentioned in the series but it hasn't a defined form, just showing parts of him. |
| 43 | * GodOfEvil: In the past, the god Ambrosia had its body destroyed and its spiritual form banished to the demon realm of Makai. This led to Ambrosia becoming the Dark God of Makai, ruling over demons and drawing strength from humans' negative energy. |
| 44 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Ambrosia is still undefeated, only his heralds had suffered instead of him. |
| 45 | * TheManBehindTheMan: For Amakusa and Mizuki. [[spoiler: And Shizuka Gozen in the ''2019'' game.]] |
| 46 | * MeaningfulName: "Ambrosia" (ἀμβροσία) literally means "immortality" in Greek, and was used to describe the food and drink of the ancient Greek Gods. |
| 47 | * {{Necromancer}}: Various of his heralds and [[{{Mook}} mooks]] are usually BackFromTheDead. |
| 48 | * {{NPC}}: Ambrosia has been unplayable in any and every form to this day. |
| 49 | * PowersThatBe: An evil example. Like [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Orochi]], Ambrosia is '''not''' a physical being, but rather a powerful immortal "spirit" which can't ever be slain by mortals, only sealed away. |
| 50 | * SealedEvilInACan: Which both Amakusa and Mizuki tried to unseal. Fortunately, both of them were defeated before they could finish Ambrosia's evil plan. |
| 51 | * ShoutOut: His main form from Samurai Shodown II onward is very similar to [[{{Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro}} GeGeGe no Kitarō]]'s Backbeard. |
| 52 | * TheUnpronounceable: According to Amakusa's back story, "Ambrosia" is only an alias for convenience. |

| 55 | [[folder:Shizu]] |
| 56 | [[quoteright:301:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oshizu_haohmaru_rpg.png]] |
| 57 | -> '''Origin:''' ''[[FeudalJapan Musashi Province, Japan]]'' |
| 58 | ->'''Voiced by:''' [[note]]Kikue Nishiyama[[/note]] |
| 59 | |
| 60 | ->Shizu Wakisaka, better known by her first name alone, is the lover of Haohmaru and is respectfully called, "O-Shizu", alternatively spelled "Oshizu", by him. In return, she addresses him as "Haohmaru-sama". He left her behind so that she wouldn't be faced with the dangers of his journey. Though left alone, she has faith in Haohmaru and prays for his safety. She is 16 years old in the first ''Samurai Shodown''. |
| 61 | ---- |
| 62 | * TheCameo: Shizu appears in the Edo title of ''Days of Memories'' asking [[PlayerCharacter you]] if you've interacted with Haohmaru. |
| 63 | * {{Expy}}: Her overall character is similar to Otsū from Eiji Yoshikawa's novel ''Musashi''. |
| 64 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She's in love with Haohmaru, but he left her behind to keep her safe from the dangers of ''ronin'' life. Since then, Shizu always prays for him and wishes him the best for his journeys. In Haohmaru's ending in ''II'', she pleads for his life against a raging Genjuro, and he’s only spared thanks to her. |
| 65 | * JapanesePoliteness: Haohmaru calls her "Oshizu", and in return she calls him "Haohmaru-sama." Both terms denote polite respect, even amongst lovers. |
| 66 | * SayMyName: In ''IV'', Haohmaru says her name in his DeathCryEcho. |
| 67 | * YamatoNadeshiko |
| 68 | [[/folder]] |
| 69 | |
| 70 | [[folder:Kei Odagiri]] |
| 71 | [[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kei_ukyo_rpg_6.png]] |
| 72 | -> '''Origin:''' ''[[FeudalJapan Ōmi Province, Japan]]'' |
| 73 | ->'''Voiced by:''' [[note]]Akiko Yagi[[/note]] |
| 74 | |
| 75 | ->Kei Odagiri is the lover of Ukyo and is affectionately called, "O-kei-dono" or "Kei-dono" by him ("Lady Kei"). In return, she addresses him as "Ukyo-sama". Due to her status as a high-class noblewoman and his terminal illness, Ukyo keeps his distance from her. Regardless, they still hold deep feelings for each other. |
| 76 | ---- |
| 77 | * TheCameo: In the Edo version of ''Days of Memories'', Ukyo mentions her in their conversations. |
| 78 | * HappyMarriageCharade: Kei became married to another man and bore his child, but deep inside, she never stopped loving Ukyo. |
| 79 | * InterclassRomance: Kei is a high-class noblewoman and Ukyo is a samurai. That, and his terminal illness makes this romance sadly impossible. |
| 80 | * JapanesePoliteness: As with Shizu and Haohmaru, Ukyo calls her "Okei-dono" or "Kei-dono", and she calls him "Ukyo-sama" in return. Both terms (especially “dono” = Lord) denote extreme politeness and respect, even between lovers. |
| 81 | * SayMyName: Ukyo usually references her often, as a DeathCryEcho, as well in some winposes. |
| 82 | * StarCrossedLovers: Kei is in love with Ukyo, but their love is something they can’t pursue and they both know that. |
| 83 | * YamatoNadeshiko |

| 86 | !!Debuting in ''Samurai Shodown II'' |
| 87 | |
| 88 | [[folder:Bizuki]] |
| 89 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/02_bizuki.png]] |
| 90 | -> '''Origin:''' ''[[FeudalJapan The Oki Islands, Oki Province, Japan]]'' |
| 91 | |
| 92 | ->Bizuki is a {{Miko}} or shrine maiden who excels in exorcisms and purifications. She was named after her beautiful dances and flute playing. Her powers awakened when she was 16 and she became a respected healer. A century before Samurai Shodown II begins, Bizuki attempted to seal Mizuki when she was twenty-five. However, she was overwhelmed and soon possessed by the evil spirit. She continued to serve as its unwilling host until Mizuki was sealed for good in the demon world. While ashamed of her powerlessness to stop the demon, she chooses to continue to live in the mortal realm as Kyoshiro's assistant. Since then, she took the name Okuni as her alias. |
| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | * BackFromTheDead: After being the host-body of Mizuki, she got a new chance at life in II's Kyoshiro ending and also in the ''RPG''. |
| 95 | * BattleCouple: Implied in Kyoshiro's endings when he and Bizuki became partners ([[ShipTease and maybe lovers]]). |
| 96 | * DanceBattler: A priestess who can dance and play instruments as her secondary skills, later she’s taken under Kyoshiro's wing. |
| 97 | * DemonicPossession: She had ''really'' bad luck trying to exorcise Mizuki. |
| 98 | * MeaningfulName: Her name is written as "princess of the beautiful state". However, it's interesting to note that in some non-RPG sources it's written as "demon of the beautiful state". |
| 99 | * {{Miko}}: She was one before Mizuki controlled her. |
| 100 | * NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Hinted in Kyoshiro's story that called her as "Okuni" after being freed from Mizuki, she could be based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izumo_no_Okuni Izumo no Okuni]], a former priest who was the originator of kabuki theater. |
| 101 | * {{NPC}}: Only seen in Kyoshiro's endings in the series. Subverted in the RPG when she joins you as a temporary member. |
| 102 | * WhiteMage: She took this role in the ''RPG''. |

| 108 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kagaribi_ink.jpg]] |
| 109 | -> '''Origin:''' ''[[FeudalJapan Tamba Province, Japan]]'' |
| 110 | |
| 111 | ->She was Basara's lover who was his childhood friend from the same village. She was a maternal figure for Basara and meant everything to him. They were only separated from each other when Zankuro slaughtered them. They were not together in their afterlife and he yearns to join her, often crying her name in battles. She only exists as a specter, most likely a yūrei like Basara, dressed in the same yukata she was wearing whilst she was living. |
| 112 | ---- |
| 113 | * FanDisservice: She appears completely naked in Basara's arms in his winposes in ''III'' and ''IV''... just to rot into a skeleton and be ReducedToDust. |
| 114 | * KillTheOnesYouLove: It was first suggested Zankuro killed her, but later in ''V'' (and confirmed in ''2019'') it was revealed Basara was the one who killed her under the evil influence of Zankuro. |
| 115 | * PromotedToPlayable: Kagaribi herself is playable in the ''Samurai Spirits OL'' mobile game. |
| 116 | * SayMyName: Basara often says her name, in winposes and in one DeathCryEcho. |
| 117 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Kagaribi wears the same yukata she wore at the moment of her death, but it’s more revealing than other girls in the series. In some appearances like Basara's winposes in ''III'' and ''IV'', she [[FullFrontalAssault appears naked]]. |
| 118 | * VengefulGhost: [[spoiler: It's revealed in Basara's ending in ''2019'' that Kagaribi is this to ''him'', holding a grudge against him for murdering her and forcing him into punishment by means of denying him death until she is appeased.]] |
| 119 | * [[TheManBehindTheMan The Woman Behind The Man]]: [[spoiler: Kagaribi is actually this to Basara, commanding him to "hunt" until she deems him worthy of forgiveness, meaning when she is finally able to pass on to the afterlife due to Amakusa's interference.]] |
| 120 | * YamatoNadeshiko |
| 121 | * {{Youkai}}: Just as Basara, she's a {{Yurei}}, which are figures in Japanese folklore, analogous to Western legends of ghosts. |

| 127 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/03_hazuki.png]] |
| 128 | -> '''Origin:''' ''[[FeudalJapan Wataribashi-no-shita, Hizen Province, Japan]]'' |
| 129 | -> '''Weapon(s):''' [[BarrierMaiden Ninja sealing magic]] |
| 130 | |
| 131 | ->The younger sister of Kazuki and Sogetsu, and a member of the Kazama ninjas. She seems to be a kind, sweet person without much fighting abilities; instead, she has great spiritual powers that allow her to use powerful sealing techniques. Unfortunately, Amakusa realizes the last point ''fast'' and captures Hazuki for his own purposes, which kicks off the subplot with Kazuki running off to save her and Sougetsu having to stop and kill him. In Zero, she also has to keep the peace between Kazuki and Sogetsu... |
| 132 | ---- |
| 133 | * BarrierMaiden: Unlike her brothers, she doesn't seem to have any fighting skills. However, Hazuki ''is'' the one who "tamed" and then sealed Suija and Enja in their swords. [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/neogeo/a/sszsui.htm We get to see her do so in Suija's Zero ending.]] |
| 134 | * ButtMonkey: The kid has been either kidnapped or threatened HOW many times by now? |
| 135 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Has green hair and green eyes. |
| 136 | * FamilyThemeNaming: When looking at the Japanese characters of the Kazama siblings' names, they all have the kanji 月, which means moon. The first kanji of their names also matches their color scheme and elemental abilities, with Hazuki's being (葉), which means leaf. |
| 137 | * GirlNextDoor: Ninja version, sorta. |
| 138 | * GoThroughMe: In [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/neogeo/a/sszsog.htm Sogetsu's Zero ending]], [[spoiler: she stops Sougetsu from killing the berserker Kazuki, then uses her powers to knock Kazuki out and help him "tame" Enja.]] |
| 139 | * {{NPC}}: Shes a prevalent part of the Kazama brothers' backstories, and also appears in one of the FinalBattle stages of ''IV'' and in their endings in ''IV'' and ''V Special''. |
| 140 | * SatelliteCharacter: Always seen around Kazuki or Sogetsu. |

| 148 | -> '''Origin:''' ''[[UsefulNotes/{{Tokyo}} Edo,]] [[FeudalJapan Musashi Province, Japan]]'' |
| 149 | -> '''Weapons:''' [[TwoHalvesMakeAPlot "Seioh" and "Kouoh"]] |
| 150 | |
| 151 | ->Kuki is a character introduced in ''Warriors Rage'' as the father of Seishiro and foster father of Tohma. He is also referred to as "the Legendary Kuki" or "Master of the Kunou Tenshoryu". He is dead by the time the game takes place but is mentioned by the characters who knew him. |
| 152 | ---- |
| 153 | * AncestralWeapon: Both of his swords are known as this, soon inherited by his children after his death. |
| 154 | * DeathByOriginStory: His death marks the beginning of the story of the game. |
| 155 | * DualWielding: Kuki mastered both of his ancestral weapons, ''Seioh'' and ''Kouoh'', inherited by Seishiro and Tohma respectively after his death. |
| 156 | * {{Expy}}: Kuki could be based on Gaisei from ''VideoGame/TheLastBlade'' series. As him, he raised two sons (Kaede and Moriya) and was murdered at the beginning of the game. Different to him, he also raised a daughter (Yuki), wasn't killed by one of his sons... and he CameBackWrong as Kouryu. |
| 157 | * TheGhost: After his death, Kuki is mentioned only by flashbacks, his former friends and in endings. |
| 158 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Jin-Emon Hanafusa and also developed a friendship with one of his pupils, Sakaki Jushiro. |
| 159 | * LegacyCharacter: After defeating Tohma, Seishiro gets ''Kouoh'' and becomes "Kuno Seishiro", which is the closest we can get of Kuki - his techniques are partly demonstrated through him. |

| 161 | * MeaningfulName: "Iron cavalry". |
| 162 | * OneNameOnly: He's only known as Kuki, his family name. The [[AllThereInTheManual "All-About SNK" appendix]] lists his full name as '''Tetsuki Kuki'''. |
| 163 | * RedBaron: He is also referred to as "the Legendary Kuki" or "Master of the Kunou Tenshoryu". |
| 164 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: Kind of. When he adopted Tohma, Kuki was more severe to him as a way to get him in the right path. Tohma instead took it as a disadvantage compared to Seishiro and developed a grudge on him. In the end, Tohma stoled the ''Kouoh'' sword and [[SelfMadeOrphan killed Kuki with it]], the latter regreting for being too harsh on Tohma and wanted to raise better his sons, accepting his death as a punishment. |

He planned the rebellion with Oboro for twenty years, but they were caught and escaped to Ritenkyo, where they hid and were protected by his followers.

| 188 | |
| 189 | ->Benten is formerly one of Oboro's priestess. She joined his cause to rid of the weaklings in Ritenkyo. After she killed Saya's parents, she regretted her actions and found herself blinded by ochlocracy. She spared the infant Saya and her husband sacrificed himself to aid their escape. Benten passed onto Saya all that she knew, including her fighting style and how to be a "good woman". Additionally, Benten also made the girl her current weapons. |

Namino is a popular transvestite prostitute who eloped with Yaci. Since he met Yaci, he dreams of freedom in a peaceful new land. In Yaci's story mode, he is targeted by the Shibito, Yaci's gang. |

With her older sister lost, Tokihime faithfully remains by Amakusa's side. Ushiwakahime asks her to block the party's path to Amakusa's castle and effectively creates a barrier to prevent their advances. If the party saved a Christian village before their encounter, the villagers will give them a statue of the Virgin Mary. Once the party learns that Amakusa and his comrades were formerly Christians, they present the statue to Tokihime. She is too moved by the figure's presence to concentrate on her magic and flees. When they meet her a second time, the statue and her faith in her religion cleanses Ambrosia's influence on her. In gratitude, she will fly the party to Amakusa's floating castle before leaving for heaven. |

| 607 | ->Big Bad of the ''Makai Bugeicho'' manga, a retelling of the original Samurai Shodown game. A worshipper of the dark god Ambrosia, he's a military strategist that has come back from the dead who wants to complete his failed coup against the shogunate once and for all. |
| 608 | ---- |
| 609 | * AscendedExtra: In the main series, he's only briefly mentioned in Jubei's ending. However, he's the ''Makai Bugeicho'' manga's main villain - or so he thought. |
| 610 | * CavalryOfTheDead: Summons Yomotsu, a battleship from the land of the dead full of [[RevenantZombie revenants]] - and Shiro Tokisada - , to complete his plans. |
| 611 | * TheDragon: Two of them: The first is [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight Nagiri]], an original character from the manga. The other is a certain [[{{Foreshadowing}} Shiro Tokisada]]. |
| 612 | * {{Expy}}: Of Amakusa from Samurai Shodown, and by extension of Makai Tensho. In fact, Yui was one of the original Makai Tensho villains, but [[CompressedAdaptation both roles tend to be compressed into Amakusa in most adaptions]]. |
| 613 | * HijackedByGanon: The main villain [[TheManInFrontOfTheMan was Amakusa all along]]. |
| 614 | * IdentityConcealmentDisposal: Briefly acts as Madou Shiranui, the new leader of Gen-An's Shiranui clan. |
| 615 | * NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Based on the military strategist who planned the Keian uprising, an unsuccessful coup d'etat against the shogunate. |
| 616 | * PrehensileHair: Can transform his hair into anything - [[CastingAShadow it's disguised as shadows]]. |
| 617 | * TrojanHorse: Possesses Nagiri to enter [[DeflectorShields the Iga clan's fortress]]. |
| 618 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Disposes of Gen-An and the Shiranui clan once the battleship arrives. Of course, [[EnemyMine Gen-An doesn't take it lightly]]. |
