Biography
Haohmaru (Japanese: 覇王丸, Hepburn: Haōmaru)
When he was 15 years old, he challenged Jubei Yagyu to a duel but lost due to lack of experience. Jubei, amused by the youth's bravado, brought Haohmaru to Nicotine Caffeine so that he may gain proper training. Whilst living there, he also met and befriended Genjuro Kibagami, fellow student and another orphan like himself.
Both students were close friends, yet Genjuro's hunger for power worried Nicotine. To test his students, he tempted them to fight over the treasured sword, Fugudoku. They were tested by facing off with a group of other fighters. In contrast to his friend, Haohmaru fought only until his opponent lost the will to fight and didn't give chase. After Genjuro left Nicotine's home, Haohmaru was rewarded with the sword. Encouraged by his master to further improve himself, Haohmaru travels the lands perfecting his sword skills, and searches for worthy challengers in the name of Shura.
Haohmaru challenges Yoshitora to a duel in order to test his own strength. Yoshitora accepted his challenge, asking the latter to join him and help him build a new country. Haohmaru replies that if he loses then he would join Yoshitora. They fight but the result of their match is uncertain. 2 years later after confronting the unusual anomalies brought about by Shizuka Gozen, Haohmaru embarks on a journey to stop Amakusa from bringing Ambrosia into the mortal realm. After killing Amakusa, Oshizu appears to him, having followed him to Shimabara. He dismisses her, telling her that he can't choose between his sword and his woman and leaves.
