Yagyuu, Muneakira

柳生宗朗

The protagonist is a samurai of noble spirit. A master of the Shinkage-ryu fighting style, his primary goal is to assume leadership of the Yagyu Dojo as its new Master. The Yagyu family has instructed the Tokugawa clan in swordsmanship for centuries, and Muneakira, or "Mune" for short, intends to maintain that tradition. Officially serving the Tokugawa clan, Mune has just arrived at Buou Academic School—an institution exclusive to warrior students and a training ground for Japan's future leaders—and has already encountered a host of problems... two of which tend to follow him around.
He possesses exceptional swordsmanship skills and is a childhood friend of Sen Tokugawa.
