Aohabu

青ハブ

The souhei master, who first appears pursuing Mugen as the red-masked tengu, delivers a rather Che-esque speech to the gathered souhei. When insulted by Mugen, he decides to have him executed the following day. After Mugen and Yamane escape from the jailhouse, Aohabu chases them into the cannabis plantation fields and subsequently becomes thoroughly intoxicated. He is last seen with Yamane, Mugen, and other priests enjoying themselves in the clearing.
