This is a list of minor characters in Yaiba. This list includes recurring minor characters who have multiple appearances in the Yaiba manga, Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba or the games, and notable characters who only appeared once. This list excludes main characters.

Family and friends

Picture Name Appearances Role & background
Fuji Mine 60px.jpg Fuji Mine Fuji Mine Appearances Fuji Mine (峰 富士 Mine Fuji?), known in the original as the "retired person" (ご隠居 Goinkyō?) is Raizo Mine's mother and hence Sayaka Mine's grandmother. She's the current head of the Mine family and their house, also leading the accompanying dōjō. Her full name is never revealed in the series. She appears in OVA 1 of Detective Conan, where her forename was revealed.
Gerozaimon Geroda.jpg Gerozaimon Geroda Gerozaimon Geroda Appearances Gerozaimon Geroda (ゲロ田 ゲロ左衛門 Geroda Gerozaimon?), also known as Frog Man (カエル男 Kaeru-Otoko?), originally was one of Takeshi Onimaru's Hachi Oni ("Eight Demons"), but soon betrayed his former master and joined Yaiba Kurogane's group. He appears as a Halloween costume (Halloween Party Case) and a doll (Missing Maria Higashio Case), as well as himself in OVA 1 of Detective Conan.
Jubei Yagyu.jpg Jubei Yagyu Jubei Yagyu Appearances Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi (柳生 十兵衞 三厳 Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi?) is a master swordsman and Musashi's apprentice from 400 years ago. He was revived by Onimaru as part of his Seven Deities plan to counter Yaiba. However, Jubei never sided with Onimaru and joined Yaiba's team, but when drunk, his true side as a werewolf appears and he will then vow to kill Yaiba and his friends for Onimaru, a stark difference from the human Jubei. Nevertheless, he has managed to supress his inner side quite well.
Kagetora 60px.jpg Kagetora Kagetora Appearances Kagetora (カゲトラ Kagetora?) (literally "Shadow Tiger") is Yaiba Kurogane's pet tiger. They became friends in the manga after having to flee from an enraged group of gorillas, having to help each other. In the anime, they already are longtime friends from the beginning instead. He appears as a stuffed toy on a book cover in The Wandering Red Butterfly, as well as a Halloween costume (Halloween Party Case) and as himself in OVA 1 of Detective Conan.
Kojiro Sasaki.jpg Kojiro Sasaki Kojiro Sasaki Appearances Kojiro Sasaki (佐々木 小次郎 Sasaki Kojirō?), is a revived swordsman from 400 years ago and Musashi Miyamoto's old rival. Since he was revived, he kept his young look, and is thus very popular with women. He first joins Onimaru and Kumo-Otoko's side before siding with Yaiba's group, although he sometimes tends to diverge from them.
Kenjuro Kurogane.jpg Kenjuro Kurogane Kenjuro Kurogane Appearances Kenjuro Kurogane (鉄 剣十郎 Kurogane Kenjūrō?) is Yaiba's rather careless father who kidnapped him to a jungle when he was still a baby. Despite his unimposing appearance and the fact that he's often drunk, he's a highly experienced samurai with a lot of experience he tries to pass on to his son. He appears in OVA 1 of Detective Conan.
Michiko Kurogane.jpg Michiko Kurogane Michiko Kurogane Appearances
Moroha Kurogane 60px.jpg Moroha Kurogane Moroha Kurogane Appearances Moroha Kurogane (鉄 諸羽 Kurogane Moroha?) is Yaiba's younger sister, who was told by her mother, Michiko Kurogane, that her father Kenjuro is an impostor who killed her biological father, and raises her to enact revenge on him and save her brother, who was kidnapped by Kenjuro. In contrary to Yaiba, who lived in the jungle, she was living in a luxurious mansion. She is the crush of Soshi Okita and briefly appears in Detective Conan because of this.
Musashi Miyamoto.jpg Musashi Miyamoto Musashi Miyamoto Appearances Musashi Miyamoto (宮本 武蔵 Miyamoto Musashi?) is a sword master and samurai who is over 400 years old, supposed to be the historical person of the same name. He was the keeper of the Raijin-ken on a cliff at Mount Tengu for centuries before Yaiba Kurogane and his friends appeared to get it and beat Takeshi Onimaru with it. After being convinced that Yaiba is the foretold "legendary samurai", he becomes his mentor, while acting like a lecherous and thievish geezer most of the time. He appears in OVA 1 and is mentioned and seen in a more historically accurate depiction in the panel background during the Eri Kisaki Abduction Case of Detective Conan, being one of the hints to find Eri Kisaki.
Namako-Otoko.jpg Namako-Otoko Namako-Otoko Appearances Namako-Otoko (ナマコ男 Namako-Otoko?), literally "Sea cucumber man", is on of the original Eight Demons summoned by Onimaru. After the case of the Onimaru Manjuu, he defects, along with Kamakiri-Otoko and Hitode-Otoko, and ends up joining Yaiba's group. He often stays on Sayaka's shoulder due to his short size, and doesn't have good combat skills due to the same reason.
Shizuka Mine.jpg Shizuka Mine Shizuka Mine Appearances Shizuka Mine (峰 静香 Mine Shizuka?) is the wife of Raizo Mine, mother of Sayaka Mine and the daughter-in-law of Grandma Mine. She seems to be an absurdly oblivious and forgetful person, at one point not even recognizing her own daughter anymore after she put on a pair of sunglasses. She appears in OVA 1 of Detective Conan.
Shonosuke.jpg Shonosuke Shonosuke Appearances Shonosuke (庄之助 Shōnosuke?) is Yaiba Kurogane's pet vulture. He often rides on his back to fly to far-away locations. Shonosuke has a small cameo in the manga of Magic Kaito, appearing under Kaitou Kid's top hat when he was disguised as Paul and in OVA 1 of Detective Conan.

Kumazawa.jpg Kumazawa Kumazawa Appearances Kumazawa is a student at the same middle school Sayaka Mine, Takeshi Onimaru and Keiko Momoi attended and Sudo wanted Yaiba Kurogane to beat him to join the school, too. This actually was a trick, since Kumazawa is a skilled kendōka who's won the previous Autumn tournament and Sudo hoped that the obnoxious boy would definitely lose. Yaiba managed to enrage Kumazawa with the "Dance of the Wild Animal", getting saved by Onimaru before he might get killed.
