Gen-An

==Summary==
Gen-An is a supporting character from Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja and its sequel, affectionately called Grandboss by Izuna and Shino. He's an old experienced ninja who taught them when they were still in their village and he was its chief. After finding a job at Mugen Castle, its lord later kicked them out due to the decrease in need of ninjas in modern times, alongside Mitsumoto, another ninja working there. Since then, they've been trying to find a place for Gen-An to rest, but with little success.

Intelligence: Above Average. Gen-An has great instincts, is very good in combat, very wise and he doesn't underestimate his opponents. He's also extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and he trained both Izuna and Shino from a young age to become ninjas
Weaknesses: None notable, outside of game mechanics. Talismans cost Spirit Points to use (SP) that Gen'An has a limit of. Everytime he gets hit, he loses 1 SP. The lower his SP gauge is, the weaker his attacks will be (Those aspects are likely exaggerated for gameplay balance purposes).
