**Hagamichi** is a Kongo-Yasha School Samurai and Legion Captain of Akagi Castle. He defends Hachimaru's homeworld with his Princess, Un.

## Synopsis

Hagamichi was inspecting the area attacked by the Cake Tank for survivors. A survivor showed up and tried attacking Hagamichi, but he disarmed him by throwing his sheathed katana at him. The survivor tried to use the katana, but due to the bio I.D. reader, he couldn't pull it out. Upon realizing Hagamichi was from the Akagi Castle, he explained that a Cake Tank attacked them.

Later Hagamichi was inspecting the Cake Tank who got cut in two by Hachimaru and then went to Princess Un to see if he can get more info on the boy who did it. After Princess Un contacted Princess Sa, they understood that Hachimaru became a samurai from Ann's Locker Ball. When Ann came, Hagamichi asked her to come with him to search for Hachimaru. As they found out Hachimaru, Hagamichi identified himself and told Daruma he wasn't an enemy and is looking for a boy named Hachimaru.

Hagamichi explained he is no enemy and wanted to recruit Hachimaru, as the boy needs a proper master. The Daruma revealed his identity and that shocked Hagamichi, kneeled and asked to be forgiven for his insolence. He then entered the hideout with the group and ate Ann's strange looking cooking, but he liked it. While Hachimaru was training, Ann decided to train too, but that looked like nothing to Hachimaru, so Hagamichi explained him that it was her mission to find Locker Balls. When she found one, Hagamichi wanted to go, but Daruma suggested that Hachimaru should go with her.

While waiting for Hachimaru and Ann's return, Daruma felt strong gravitational pull and Hagamichi believed that was Mujin, as he was the strongest samurai around their region. Soon after Hachimaru and Ann returned, Ata attacked them and Hagamichi quickly protected Ann from the shockwave of his attack. Listening to the situation and understanding who Ata was, Hagamichi quickly equipped his armor and tried to surprise attack Ata, but he was beaten when Ata sent his normal swords to pin him to a wall. Hagamichi was surprised that Ata managed to do that with simple metal blades.
