==Profile==
Ikuhara Gai invented the Ikuhara Art forging technique. He was originally a swordsmith at Tatarasuna, but an accident with the Mikage Furnace caused him to leave. Since he doesn't want to leave forever, he joined the Shogun's Army as a blacksmith so he can observe the situation in Tatarasuna from afar.

:: "*sigh* These materials are still no good for sword making."
==Dialogue==
:Ikuhara Gai: *sigh* Just look at this. How can you make a great sword from this scrap? This is an utter waste of my Ikuhara Art forging techniques!
: Is there anything of note nearby?
:;(If there are Magical Crystal Ore Veins Ikuhara Gai knows; Version 1)
:::Ikuhara Gai: Lately, some soldiers came over to tell me that they found some areas nearby from which ore can be mined, and that they even saw some rare Magical Crystal Ores.
:::Ikuhara Gai: As for those, well... Magical Crystal Ores are pretty high-quality stuff, alright. But it's hard to make weapons from them, so they're of little use to me.
:::Ikuhara Gai: I'd put them as having been around here, and I'll help you mark them out. Go check them out if you're interested.

:;(If there are Magical Crystal Ore Veins Ikuhara Gai knows; Version 2)
:::Ikuhara Gai: Some troops told me recently that there are some ore mining veins around here.
:::Ikuhara Gai: That said, though, I'm not really convinced of the quality of anything that isn't Jade Steel.
:::Ikuhara Gai: I'd put them as having been around here, and I'll help you mark them out. Go check them out if you're interested.

:::Ikuhara Gai: This is a military camp, what's there that isn't noteworthy?
:::Ikuhara Gai: Still, it's been relatively peaceful around these parts lately — no real flare ups and all. I hope it stays that way...
: What's the Ikuhara Art?
::Ikuhara Gai: The Ikuhara Art is a newly-founded forging style. Our founder... Well, you're looking at him!
::Ikuhara Gai: I used to be a swordsmith at Tatarasuna. Then an accident occurred at the Mikage Furnace. Many of my colleagues have since left.
::Ikuhara Gai: I don't want to leave yet. That's why I joined the Shogun's Army stationed here. I can serve the Shogunate while observing the situation in Tatarasuna.
::Ikuhara Gai: After all, the best sword-forging material, Jade Steel, is produced here in Tatarasuna... If you don't have good materials to use as a basis, then no amount of skill will make it easy for you to forge the finest blades.
:: Do you really have to use Jade Steel from Tatarasuna?
:::Ikuhara Gai: Hey, are you listening to yourself? ...Forget it, you're an outlander. You wouldn't understand.
:::Ikuhara Gai: The reason why swords from Inazuma are so famous is because of Jade Steel. Swords are tough and durable, yet extremely sharp.
:::Ikuhara Gai: Many samurai and swordsmen in our history made their names using weapons forged from Jade Steel.
:::Ikuhara Gai: Someday, I will use the finest Jade Steel and the forging techniques of the Ikuhara Art to create the best sword in the world!
::: I hope you succeed.
::::Ikuhara Gai: Thank you for your kind words. I won't give up.
::::Ikuhara Gai: Recently, I collected some decent ores. There were some leftovers, so if you need them, feel free to take them.
:::;(Obtain )
: Goodbye.
::Ikuhara Gai: Goodbye. I'd better go find some proper materials.
