Hikoshiro

Hikoshiro was one of Azumi's disciples. He grew up in a castle town alongside Toranosuke. "'I'm gonna do big jobs for the country, and every time I finish one, I'm gonna show up without hesitation at our castle town. They have always watched me with eyes of respect and admiration. If I do that ... They'll wonder what on earth has happened. They'll be in awe.'""'You're right!! We gotta return to brag a bit at least!'""'If, for instance, practicing at the dojo with Azumi-dono, I noticed that I'm stronger than her. I should hide that and flatter her, right?'"He and Toranosuke played shogi once when they were young, but never played it again since they didn't find it very interesting.
