CharacTers
The characters below are the main story characters separate from the special companions that can be bought and owned as NFTs.
Personality: Although a princess to a high-ranking Shogunate, Shizuka-Gozen has none of the prideful traits typically found among corrupt officials. Instead, she is pure, kind, and fascinated with things anew. She is friendly and rarely holds any bad blood towards anyone. However, while high spirited, she can be rather stubborn, rarely changing her mind.
Race: Human
Weapon: Royal Bow (王家ノ弓, ouke no yumi)
Personality: Yoshitsune is a natural-born leader with a strong moral compass. But at times she sticks to her virtues a bit too much, being hard on not only herself but also on others. This, however, does not stop her from spoiling Lady Shizuka, who she is determined to protect with her life.
Being a proper woman in the military, Yoshitsune has had little time to mess about and just have fun. She, therefore, prefers the practical much more than the abstract.
Race: Human
Weapon: Checkered Katana (市松刀, ichimatsu gatana)
Personality: Miroku gives off a free-spirited aura while loving a bit of mischief and shyness. He loves to play tricks, make jokes and be the life of the party. When he can, Miroku is also keen to make a deal and sell what he has on hand or trade for rare items. He is very social and is able to integrate himself into any group, which is all a plus to his business.
Race: Human
Weapon: Artisan's Naginata (名工薙刀 meikou naginata)
Personality: Happy, curious and loves to do foolish things with her friends. Likes drinking alcohol a little bit too much!
Ibaraki is a half-Oni, similar to that of the player's character and thus feels a certain bond with the main character. She has the unique career of running a traveling bar, similar to Miroku's traveling merchant. She is often mistaken for being a cat that is capable of transformation.
Race: Half-Oni
Weapon: Cat-paw Katana (招き猫刀, maneki-neko gatana)
Personality: Momotaro is typically rude and rough with his words and rarely hesitates to do or say what he believes. If the issue at hand includes exterminating the Oni, he is more than willing to participate. High with pride, he dares not to make a single smile in front of most people to uphold his tough exterior.
Race: Non-Human
Weapon: Twin Demon Blades (鬼の二刀 oni no nitou)
Personality: Kaguya is a very mysterious lady, she is often slow-speaking and almost airheaded at times, spacing out often. This aloofness makes it hard to read what she is thinking. Yet, she has a defined culture that could very well break the "fourth wall" in terms of how genre-savvy she is with otaku culture.
Race: Moonfol
Weapon: Kaguya Special Gatler (かぐや☆バン！バン！スペシャル～ kaguya ☆ ban! ban! supesharu~)
Personality: A man of few words, Susanoo maintains a cold side, distancing himself from most others and rarely asking for a hand. Large parts of his backstory are shrouded in mystery, even though he doesn't know certain mysteries about himself. Despite these characteristics, even against the odds, he will never give up and will never lose to fear.
Race: God
Weapon: Great Sword of Gathering Clouds (叢雲の大刀 murakumo no daitou)
Personality: While it's unknown how she acted prior to being shrunken into her child-like form, she currently acts sort of like a young child and refers to everyone in the party as if they were her older brothers or sisters. She is very cheerful and makes the best out of her child-like state, despite her weakness. Even so, she sometimes sulks that her body has become so childish, a far cry from the well-endowed body should have as an adult.
Race: Goddess
Weapon: Hot Spring Fan (温泉団扇 onsen uchiwa)

The knight of the Round Table who serves his majesty King Arthur has come from a prosperous land across the oceans.
The reason for her being swept away into Japan is a mystery, even she does not know why she is here. She is in a frenzy searching high and low for King Arthur, who may have also been swept into Japan.
In King Arthur's Realm of Logres she is praised as an exceptional knight thanks to her unique battle prowess and loyalty to her king, which actually goes into rather abnormal levels. It is said that this loyalty is due to an act of betrayal committed in the past.
She is not one wear her emotions on her sleeve, and her indifferent tone often gives the impression that she is hiding her true feelings, but deep inside her heart is a passion so hot it can melt away the frigid ice.
She seems to have looked up to Takeda Shingen, who made attempts to gain supremacy over the nation, when she was a child. Inspired by him, she polished her martial arts techniques and threw herself into her studies. Thanks to that she became a full-fledged leader of the Uesugi Clan, and by then Shingen had already given up on his plans.
She likes to read the Tale of the Genji and play the lute. She also loves to drink.
She has undertaken gruelling training to take her fencing techniques to the next level and kill Miyamoto Musashi. She certainly spilled some blood to get her new power, but fueled by her fixation on putting an end to Musashi's life, Kojirou didn't think much of the arduous training regime.
Nagamitsu is capable of speaking and can be heard nagging at Kojiro. In turn Kojiro just continues on with what looks like mindless soliloquy. Kojiro pays no mind to what others think of her.
Sasuke is a proud member of Sanada Yukimura's 10 Braves. Even though it may look like she's a fresh faced kid without a worry in the world, her ninja skills are first class and her loyalty to her master Yukimura is absolute. Her friend and rival, Kirigakure Saizou is always on her case about her attitude, but she's serious when it counts.
In her free time she likes to set up blackboard duster traps, pitfalls, and draw on Yukimura's face when he's sleeping – even if it means a punch when she's caught.
