==Summary==
Denjiro is a samurai who served as Kozuki Oden's retainer, being one of the Nine Red Scabbards.
Due to the grief of Oden's execution 20 years ago, Denjiro changed his appearance and went under the name of Kyoshiro. As Kyoshiro, he became a Yakuza boss and recruited followers to form the Kyoshiro Family. He then started working for the shogun and Oden's usurper Kurozumi Orochi as his money changer and bodyguard.
Under the guise of this position, he disguises himself and robs the rich Flower Capital citizens at night to give to the impoverished citizens, which has given him the moniker of Ushimitsu Kozo. He has also taken care of Oden's daughter Kozuki Hiyori for the past 13 years, raising her to become the oiran Komurasaki.
