Hayato
Hayato is known as the legendary samurai. As one of the ‘Children of the Five Stars’, Hayato tried to stop Oda Nobunaga’s attempts to sacrifice Princess Sakuno as a vessel to summon the 6th Demon King through a dimension door. After a huge explosion from the failed ritual, Hayato found himself with many others in a place known as Momijigaoka, where he began training once again, for there were rumors that Nobunaga had survived…
