Shinzaemon Tobe

戸部 新左エ門

Age: 35 Birthplace: Suruga Province Job: Ninjutsu Academy sword instructor Usually an exceptionally skilled first rate swordsman, but when he's hungry he completely loses his strength and becomes barely capable of lifting his sword. He also has the bad habit of chasing after flying insects with his sword and ending up indiscriminately cutting up everything else instead. Kingo is his disciple and stays with him during school holidays.
