Unparalleled skill, transcendent strength, and an inhuman physique. A fighting machine who appeared seemingly out of nowhere during the Warring States period. He called himself Chinzei Hachirou, and was both feared and admired by people far and wide.
A hero out of time, who was never merely human.
What were his arrows truly meant for?

Originally a fighting machine developed with the same technology used to make the Settsu Armor and meant to be used in battles against oni and monsters. However, by the time he was ready, the number of oni and monsters had dwindled so much that he was no longer necessary for that purpose, and was therefore sealed away before completion. It was not until many years later that his seal was broken and a new engineer filled in the missing parts to turn him into an anti-army warrior. However, it took so long to do so that the engineer ended up using a great deal of custom elements, the origins of which are no longer known. (Not that we know exactly where the technology for the Settsu Armor came from, either.)
Despite his cold logic circuits, he is incredibly competitive and a dreadfully sore loser. He has no interest in authority, and cares only for proving his own might. Very few people knew then or now that he is actually a machine, and only tales of him as a mighty armored warrior have been passed on to later generations. According to Tametomo himself, most people never catch on as long as you act confident.
