Torn between her duty to live up to the Genji family name and her desire to live a peaceful life, Shanao sets off in hopes to take down the Heike stronghold and finally bring peace to the country.

\u25a0 Yoshitsune Minamimoto (Nickname: Shanao) (Name Changeable) – CV: N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born the youngest daughter of Yoshitomo Minamoto, Shanao was brought to Kurama Temple upon the death of her father in the Heiji Rebellion. There, the monks were instructed to raise her as a boy who could one day grow strong enough to overthrow the Heike. She was trained and raised by Kakunichi, Shanao excelled in matters of military strategy and in combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 Shungen – CV: Soma Saito<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A child of Shigenari Minamoto, and a vassal of Shanao’s father who was brought to Kurama Temple upon the death of his father at the same time as Shanao. Because the two have been together since they were very young, Shungen is aware that Shanao is a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 Yoritomo Minamoto – CV: Makoto Furukawa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youngest son of Yoshitomo Minamoto. Yoritomo’s father and older brothers were all killed by the Heike in the Heiji Rebellion. Just fourteen at the time, Yoritomo’s life was spared from execution by Kiyomori Taira’s step-mother, Lady Ikenozeni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 Tomomori Taira – CV: Jun Fukuyama<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth son of Kiyomori Taira, and graceful in both words and appearances. From the outside he would appear to have little use for war, however, he has time and time again demonstrated himself to be a fierce warrior, a superb general, and a trusted advisor to Kiyomori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 Noritsune Taira – CV: Kengo Kawanishi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nephew of Kiyomori Taira, and son of Norimori Taira, Noritsune holds nothing but contempt for the soft, decadent clan the Heike has become. Though he may not like the present aristocratic nature of his clan, he takes deep pride in his role as a samurai and is said to be one of the clan’s finest warriors. Unlike Tomomori, Noritsune does not see the gathering storm on the horizon for the Heike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 Benkei Musashibo – CV: Yuichiro Umehara<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously a monk at Mount Hiei, Benkei was expelled from that temple after an incident with the Heike. Since then, he has been stealing the swords of Heike officials in response. After being defeated by Shanao, he pledged to become Shanao’s vassal. Kind, gentle, and good-natured, Benkei and Shanao both share a history of growing up in temples and dissatisfaction with the brutal rule of the Heike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
