About

Aiming to be a samurai, Yaiba and his father went to the jungle to train, but due to various circumstances they end up back in Japan and moving in with the Mine family. Yaiba only really cares about becoming a legendary samurai and loves to challenge strong opponents. He has taken up the legendary Raijin-ken and gone on numerous adventures to accomplish this. Despite this great dream, he is also bratty, frivolous, perverted, and gluttonous. He is the same age as Sayaka, although he is much shorter. Though usually not very bright, Yaiba is pretty clever when it comes to the sword and has thought up many special attacks on the spot. He is descended from the thunder god Susano'o and the heir to very wealthy Kurogane Group, although he is unaware of this until the final story arc.
