Character Description: Kanryu Takeda
Kanryuu Takeda is very rich and hires the Oniwaban members as his bodyguards. He is convinced that their main goal was to protect him, even though Aoshi Shinomori swore no allegiance to him. Aoshi only wished to claim the title of strongest man.
Takeda is obsessed with money and has Megumi Takani making opium (a very old narcotic that has very harsh results to those who use it) for him to sell. When she runs away, she has members of the Oniwaban group bring her back. He ends up killing the Oniwaban members except for Aoshi, and even though he tries to hide it, is terrified of Battousai the Manslayer.
