    Samoto, as he appears in the manga.
    Name in Kanji サモト
    Name in Romaji Samoto
    Fighting Style Unknown
    Position(s) Asura
    Appearances Manga (ch. 201-206), Anime (ep. 149-150)
    Samoto (サモト)
    A thin, mustachioed Asura with a ducktail hairstyle and a posh appearance. Samoto sends his subordinates to invade villages looking for a bride for him. Samoto has little success due to his dimwitted and violent subordinates frightening away prospective brides with their terrifying appearances. He discovers the unconscious Lin on the back of Kaioh's horse after having her Shikanhaku (死環白) vital point struck, cursing her to fall in love with the next man she lays eyes on. Samoto is grateful to finally have found a maiden and a beautiful one at that, Samoto primps up himself a plans to make her his wife.
    As he waits impatiently for Lin to awaken, unknowing of the point struck, Numeri turns up and slaughters Samoto's minions before striking Samoto's head off with one finger.

    TV series

    In the TV series, Samoto and Numeri are combined into one character bearing Numeri's appearance but with Samoto's name and sophistication.
    Confusingly, a character resembling the original Samoto also appears in the TV series as a minion of the anime 'Samoto'. In the DVD extra model sheets for the series, there is a model sheet of that same character labeled Samoto, while the anime Samoto is simply labeled Numeri. This indicates at one point, Samoto and Numeri were separate characers in the anime, while the Manga Samoto's modelsheet was ultimatley recycled for an extra.
