Sharp-Ear was a kitsune ranger from the Sugi Hayashi village on Kamigawa, and a brother to Pearl-Ear.[1]
Description[]
He and his sister had six brothers and nine sisters.[2] Having been left in service of tutoring Michiko in Eiganjo when his sister wanted to visit her home village, his underestimation of Choryu's abilities started a chain of events eventually leading to the end of the Kami War.
Sharp-Ear was rather short, very nimble, and both sharp-witted and sharp-tongued. Aside from being a skilled tracker and ranger, he was an expert yabusame mounted archer and archery instructor. He was almost 100 years old by the end of the Kami War.[3]
History[]
Sharp-Ear came to Eiganjo Castle during the Kami War and was placed as a mentor for Michiko Konda, teaching her the ways of the yabusame - mounted archery. When Michiko left Eiganjo with Riko and Choryu, Sharp-Ear used his kitsune magic to separate them and lure them to Sugi Hayashi, where his sister Pearl-Ear was located at the time. Sharp-Ear then joined Captain Nagao's failed assault on the massing akki army, where he broke his arm dragging the captain to safety. Returning to Sugi Hayashi, Sharp-Ear then went with the others deeper into orochi territory, where he and the others were captured and imprisoned. After freeing themselves, Sharp-Ear then traveled with the company to Toshiro Umezawa's cave, where they once more fought the orochi.[2]
