Personality[]
Tsukikage is a mysterious person. He's often seen laughing and sneering a lot in a creepy fashion, so much that even a stoic warrior like Iori Sengoku is unsettled by him. He is also very manipulative as he helps the Ogame School infiltrate the Muhou School and then sends his troops to destroy both after the Muhou School is weakened. He's also very ambitious, to the point that he literally drools over the thought of becoming a daimyo. However, this ambition proves to be his downfall.

Abilities[]

Trivia[]
- Is interesting to note that Tsukikage, Jinkuu and Tsuchiryuu all have only one name and are onmitsu, implying that their name is actually a sort of codename.
- Tsukikage means "Moonbeams".
