Rinnōbō Yoshioka


 * "Falling from the peak, the King of the Mountain's laugh resonates in the valley." - Seireitou-shishō

Rinnobu Rokuhara (六波羅 輪王信, Rokuhara Rinnobu) is a male Tengu that had trained together with the legendary Sōjōbō when the both of them were young souls. The two eventually fought for the title of Tengu King, with the battle ending in Sōjōbō's victory and Rinnobu's subsequently departure from Mount Kurama. He had later joined together with Seireitou Kawahiru and became a Master within the Kawahiru Dojang.

Behind the Scenes
This character was originally going to be named "Rinnobō" (輪王坊) in order to keep with the general naming scheme given to most Daitengu in Japanese mythology, but the name Rinnobu was instead selected because the author found it a more fitting and better sounding name for this character. The "Rinno" part of his name is derived from Rinnōji Temple with the last kanji of the primary name altered to fit with the "Nobu" (信) aspect present in many Samurai names.
