Yamabushi, Gondayuu

山伏権太夫

He is one of the senior members of the Naga team, known as Yabushi-sempai to Unsui and others. A highly skilled lineman, he serves as the center of the line for both offense and defense, both literally and by position. His coach considers him more skilled than Kurita, nearly equal in power, and faster. He was one of the three Shinryuji players crushed by Kurita's game-ending powerdrive at the conclusion of the Naga-Devilbats match. Despite his team's legendary success, Yamabushi remains largely unfazed by the Shinryuji aura and treats his opponents with respect, particularly Kurita. With the end of his final season, Yamabushi leaves the team's future to Ikkyu and Unsui.
