Koketsu

Kōketsu (コウケツ)

A short and fat dictator who possessed some intelligence, used to work as a horsefeeder in Raoh army, he one time tried to influence Raoh by deliberately brushing his shoes for him, however Raoh saw through his tomfoolery and threatened to kill Koketsu, he was humiliated in front of Raoh's army. When peace returned to the land with Raoh's death, Koketsu used his intelligence and ruthlessness to steal lands from farmers and enslaving gullible wasteland dwellers. One of those land that he stole was from Ryū's adoptive parents. He is killed by his own mouse trap in the food storage room. Koketsu is probably a caricature of those corrupt and greedy dictator in present day society.
