Character Profile: Hidetada Tokugawa

Benitora is in fact the only son of the Tokugawa family, however his name is a disgrace to his own honor and so he changes his last name. While not being on Kyo's level of skill, he is still an amazing fighter, as seen when he survived the Red Mirage (only because Kyo used a wooden sword). He gave up the tournament they were in when he did that because he knew another would definitely kill him.

Obtaining one of the five true Muramasa, he was able to kill an insect that nobody else could even attack. However, the weapon is cursed only to work for a Tokugawa, and because he disregards his heritage it doesn't always work for him. But when it does work, it sucks part of his soul in little by little.

Benitora is also the only man to ever un-horse Nobunaga using the Seven Shadow Thrust, although injuring himself in the process.

In Episode 8, Benitora opens his eyes long enough for us to see that they are brown.
