Azuki Rosai
Azuki Rosai wss one of ten Ninja that were assigned by his leader Ogen to represent their clan of Iga Tsubagakure against the chosen ten of the rival Kouga Manjidani clan.
The oldest member of the Iga ten after Tenzen, Rousai is short statured with an even shorter temper and a massive gourd-shaped head, which in the anime he claims is swollen with hatred for the Koga from the day they launched their raid alongside Nobunaga's assault. Despite his frail and antiquated appearance, Rousai is a highly skilled martial artist whose punches and kicks are capable of felling trees and crushing stone with one blow. Additionally, his ninja technique enables him to stretch and contort his arms and legs in fantastic ways similar to Dragon Ball's Piccolo, Street Fighter's Dhalsim or One Piece's Monkey D. Luffy. As such, he's one of Basilisk's few characters that utilizes unarmed combat.
