Tsubasa Yamagatana

**Tsubasa Yamagatana** (山刀 翼やまがたな つばさ, , *Yamagatana Tsubasa*?) is the Makai Knight in charge of Kantai, and Suzu Yamagatana's older brother.

Tsubasa possessing the ability to manipulate the Makai Spear and compete on an equal footing with Kouga Saejima. He has disciples of Makai Knight, Hyuga and Akatsuki. His parents were Makai Priests, and he was originally trained to follow that path, so he was good at using Madou Power, and he tormented Koga with that power. It should be noted that his conversion from a priest to a knight is due to the fact that his parents were killed by Horrors in his childhood, and his family line is not a knight's lineage.

As the Makai Knight, Tsubasa has a strict personality that respects discipline and rules, and he harbors hostility towards Kouga, who tried to enter the Forest of Makai without permission, and blocked his path. According to Zaruba, he's a nasty bastard. However, he also shows a polite side, such as paying respect to Rei Suzumura, who saved his disciple.

In addition, his attitude of killing emotions and dealing with others (his own Makai Knight's judgment) is exactly what Kouga had before he met Kaoru Mitsuki, calling the resurrected Jabi as a dead person, and even tried to kill Suzu, who was about to be assimilated by Legules. However, through the battle with Reguleis, Tsubasa became aware of the existence of his protector (Suzu) and grew as a true Makai Knight.

Tsubasa's personal Makai Spear is usually like a club, but when used, a spear blade protrudes from the tip. The coat he wears is white with black and red decorations, and it has a design different from Kouga's and Rei's. His favorite food is pudding.

## *Makai Senki*

Tsubasa is a man who protects Kantai as the Knight of the Midnight Sun, a comrade who fought against Legules with Kouga Saejima and the others. Appeared with his disciple Hyuga to capture and subdue Makai Knight Wataru Shijima, who is said to have fallen into darkness in episode 14. Tsubasa also engraved with the Carved Seal of Destruction, and his body has already reached its limit. Perhaps because of that, he even makes disparaging remarks to Leo Fudo, who is worried about him, with the same cold attitude as before.

After the carved seal disappears, Tsubasa rushes to Kouga who are struggling with Gannon, who hijacked Idea and revived, and summons the Madou Horse with Garo and Zero to confront Gannon. After defeating Gannon, he teaches children with Wataru as a master at the training ground.

## *Makai Retsuden*

Tsubasa is the Makai Knight in charge of Kantai. Because there is something he want to confirm with Kazuma, who was once aiming to become the Makai Knight, Tsubasa came to Tokyo from Kantai.

However, since he has lived in Kantai, deep in the forest, for many years, he has hardly ever been out in the city, such as mistaking the crowds of the city for a festival, stopping in the middle of the pedestrian crossing even when the traffic light turns red, and gets mad when a car honks, mistaking a strange couple of a man with piercings on his face and a ganguro woman as Horror, and being called an old man. It depicts a rather naive appearance, such as flinching at the girl at the bar that Jabi frequents.

Knowing that Kazuma, who was finally found by the guidance of Jabi, has turned into the Horror, Tsubasa cooperates with Jabi to subjugate the Horror in order to cut off the Inga that has been carried on his back. Confirming that Kazuma, who was a man like the sun, became Horror, still has the heart of a knight, Tsubasa realized again the terribleness and terror of his negative spirit, and was deeply saddened and shed tears.
