Major Characters
Jin Sakai
Jin Sakai grew up under the guidance of his uncle Shimura, the lord of the Tsushima Island, and his master in the art of the sword.
One of the earliest and most important lessons Shimura imparts to Jin is the Honor of the Samurai.
When we fight, we face our enemy head-on. And when we take their lives, we look them in the eye, with courage and respect. This is what makes us Samurai.
Years pass, and Jin becomes a full-grown man, a warrior capable of protecting his homeland.
Lord Harunobu Adachi
Lord Harunobu Adachi is one of the trusted powerful Samurai of Lord Shimura. At the start of the Mongol empire invasion, he alone went down to face and challenge them for one-on-one duels.
He introduced himself as the descendant of the legendary Yoshinobu Adachi.
It didn't end well for him though, as the Mongol empire fights differently (they burned him alive).
Masako
Masako is a powerful samurai who is going to help Jin in fighting the forces of the Mongol army.
Masako Fights Jin
They will join forces but will face conflicts as well, culminating in a duel between them.
Shimura
Shimura is the lord of Tsushima Island and uncle and mentor of Jin. He trained Jin as a young boy on the art of the sword and in the code of the Samurai.
As Jin undergoes his transformation as the Ghost, Shimura reminds him of the old teachings he shared with him on what it means to be a Samurai.
Khotun Khan
Khotun Khan is the intelligent, resourceful, and ruthless leader of the Mongol army who was bent on conquering Japan. He's a brutal, unrelenting enemy that Jin will quickly learn not to underestimate.
Yuna
Yuna is a smart and resourceful woman who saves Jin during the night of invasion and helps him in his transformation from a samurai into the Ghost. She was always with Jin, supporting him in all of his endeavors.
She took care of Jin while he was wounded and helped him get back the sword from Toru.
Taka
Taka is the brother of Yuna and a blacksmith. He is one of the first characters to be revealed in the trailers and is often used for the demo of Japanse voice support in the game.
