Yagyu Nasutei

This granddaughter is the guardian of the legendary armors and the Samurai Troopers.

Voiced by Kusakabe Kaori.

## Appearance and Personality

Nasutei's usual clothes are culottes (women's knee-length trousers, cut with very full legs to resemble a skirt) and skirts. She likes to wear these because they are comfortable and easy to move around in. This may be because she often goes out to help her grandfather investigate ruins.

In episode seven, she dons warmer clothes to visit Mount Daisetsu with Seiji. Although it was a practical outfit, she chose one that was not too bulky and made the most of her good style. Unfortunately, it is not clear if this outfit was waterproof.

## Biography

### Family History

Professor Konosuke Yagyu is a historian of the "legendary armors". Nasutei is not only his granddaughter but also his assistant at the university. She is the only other person who has studied and knows of these armors, as well as the evil Youja that exist to threaten this world.

### Early History

Granddaughter of Professor Yagyu, Nasutei was reared in France until she came back to Japan recently. She is his assistant in doing research and is very skilled with computers. In the beginning of the series she seems to know more about what's going on than the Samurai Troopers do. She uses her computer and the files her grandfather left on it to locate the Troopers after they are forcibly separated as a result of their first major battle with Arago. While she is captured and used as a hostage several times early in the series, by episode twelve or so she's learned to keep well out of the way and this "problem" vanishes. She's that rarity in anime shows-the female "sidekick" who is actually quite useful and able to handle herself quite well.

### The War with Arago

Being aware of the invasion from the Youja World, Nasutei rushes to Shinjuku alone. There, she meets a young boy and the five Samurai Troopers. From that point on, she stands as their guardian. Her favorite hobby is driving and she owns a jeep, specifically a Pajero Sport Turbo. This ends up being pretty important since she has to drive around to other locations all across Japan in order to find and help the heroes. She also helps out by providing a safe resting place for the entire group at her family's vacation home. At this place, everything is quiet and helps them all feel like life is back to normal.

Despite the tragedy of her grandfather getting killed and dying in her arms, she also displayed a great amount of personal strength and heart. This young woman forced herself to search for answers, despite the heartbreak and sadness she was feeling.

For the boys, her existence is irreplaceable and she offers them a place of peace that they can always return to.

Nasutei and Jun were not corrupted by the Youja World because they had no greedy or evil thoughts. And the strength to rise above committing themselves to fight with force of arms allowed them to help locate and empower the Inochi no Magatama.

## Sports and Hobbies

"Study of Legend" (influenced by her grandfather), driving (she got her driver’s license in France therefore she was able to drive although she was only 17 years old in the TV series. In Japan you need to be 18 to have a driver's license. The rumor said that she uses "Learner's Permit" in Japan rather than using "International Driver's License"). She is said to start practicing "long-handled sword" (i.e. Kendo) recently.

## Nasutei's Car

Nasutei drives a Mitsubisi Pajero Sport, which was an invaluable asset to the Samurai Troopers and an important source for their transportation. She has a French International Driver's License, which allows her to drive a car at the age of 17.
