Ijuuin, Shinobu

伊集院忍

His father had an affair with a German princess, and the result of that union was the handsome Shinobu, who resembled his mother. His parents separated because of their unequal social standing, and his mother was subsequently married off to another man. His father could not bear to look at his son, who bore an eerie resemblance to his lover, and he spent the rest of his years away from Japan until his death. Consequently, Shinobu spent his time with his grandparents, whom he loved dearly; this explains his willingness to marry Benio. He is a romantic at heart, but his attempts to court Benio in this manner usually come to naught.
