Ujikiyo
Ujikiyo is a deserter from the samurai fortress town of
Takada. A lower-class bushi. he was found guilty of taking bribes in
his role as a gate guard, to let strangers enter the town without
papers. Among these strangers, who were mostly agents of Kura, were
the Monoboshi brothers. When was discovered, Ujikiyo eluded his
pursuers at first, but he became trapped by a fire he set to cover
his escape, and was badly burned about the head and shoulders. His
burns, ironically, prevented him being recognised by the pursuing
guards, who rescued him. He slipped out of town soon after, and
lacking any chance of legal employment, turned bandit. When Osawa
hired some bandits to help him kill a target, he noticed Ujikiyo's
skill with the spear and soon recruited him to his own gang.
Ujikiyo is of medium height and build, but wiry and muscular. He
wears his hair long and has a narrow face with a weak chin. The burns
he suffered have marked the side of his face with dark scars and
twisted one of his eyebrows up, giving him a slightly quizzical
look.
Ujikiyo is a fairly relaxed person, but he has no conscience at
all. When he has to, he kills without qualm, but he prefers to relax
and enjoy the gold he gets for killing as much as possible. In
combat, he tends to back Takaai up, and he
is happy to let him take most of the risks. However, he is not a
coward and will fight fiercely if cornered.
The other assassins in the gang are Masu,
Takaai, and Osawa.
Although they work well together and will take some risks for one
another, they are by no means faithful comrades. If things go all to
hell, they wil seek to escape rather than risk their lives to save
one another.
