While his father spared him this treatment, he would beat him for asking too many questions, and constantly berated him in front of customers when apprenticing him at his soba tavern. It is unknown what happened to Ringo's mother, who is never shown, but she has presumably died by the series' start.

Heiji Shindo is a black market middleman, trading prostitutes, opium, and rare goods from the West including illegal guns. One of his brothers (it is unclear if he is older or younger) runs the Shindo Dojo in Kyoto, and acts as an informant to him; the Shindo House, a brothel in Kyoto, is also owned by their clan. Heiji claims he saw enough 'truly great swordsmen' in his youth, to know his talents were elsewhere, so in spite of his samurai background he pursued a career as a merchant- a position that allowed him to amass great wealth, but that was considered the lowest in prestige of the four social castes.

Chiaki is a character in the Netflix series, Blue Eye Samurai, who is voiced by Mark Dacascos. Chiaki was an assassin who tricked Eiji into making him a sword; he said his father was a bookbinder who'd been slain by a drunk ronin, and Chiaki wished to avenge him, claiming he would at least have a chance with one of Master Eiji's blades, even if it cost him his own life. He later became the leader of the Four Fangs, a small group of mercenaries for hire who are feared through much of Japan.
