Fujiki is very loyal to Kogan (his master), and is said to be most likely to succeed as the school's master. In the present time in his duel with Seigen he has only one arm but it is noted that his back muscles could theoretically make up for lost strength. Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), John Burgmeier (English) Gennosuke Fujiki ( 藤木 源之助 Fujiki Gennosuke ?) The story revolves around the first match between the one-armed swordsman Fujiki Gennosuke and the blind samurai Irako Seigen and deals with the circumstances that led the two to participate in Tokugawa's tournament. The daimyo staged a tournament where the participants fought with real steel Japanese swords rather than bokken ('wooden sword'), against his vassals' strong objection. The story begins in 1629 Shizuoka during Tokugawa Tadanaga's rule.
