Sakata Chiharu

Chiharu Sakata (坂田 千春, Sakata Chiharu) was a member of the Kiryuu Clan. She was married to Harada Shinnosuke, their son being non other than Harada Juubei. Her soft-spoken attitude as well as her ability in repairing weapons was respected by the Kiryuu. Not wanting her child to have to go through the rigorous process of learning and utilizing&#160;his father's preferred&#160;fighting style, she taught Juubei in her own — but to her amazement, Juubei learned Shinnosuke's style by emulation.
