Prince Noboru

Prince Noboru Age: 31 (in 1001)

As the youngest son, Noboru has gained a reputation as a gadfly - he has been known to travel the land in disguise, quest for treasure and glory, and associate with actors and other people of ill-repute. He is a fiercesome swordsman (a high-level Kensai) specialized in wielding two wakazashi at the same time. He and his brothers do not always get along - Motoki loathes his "slumming" with the common people and Ken'Ichi resents the lack of  time spent at court on serious matters.
