Sahara Sanjūrō

Sahara Sanjūrō is the titular wandering samurai who, alongside Yae Tokiro, is in search of the Valley of the World Tree.

Personality
Sahara is characterised as vibrant and high-spirited, and courageous; constantly smiling despite the difficulty of the situation. He has shown to also be altruistic, willing to give the last of his food and water to orphan children and his willingness to aid his soon to be companion, Yae Tokiro, after she had been mistreated and denied entry onto an aircraft.

Despite his love for flowers and sword's ability to produce flora from its tip and otherwise slain zombies, he is heavily allergic to pollen.

Appearance
He is a tall individual with blonde, shoulder-length hair tied into a ponytail and green eyes. He wears a dark-coloured hat that has a flap to, for an unknown reason, cover the entire right side of his face — the top of which extends far beyond the top of his head. In combat, Sahara dons an orange respirator resembling the lower half of a kabuki mask. Notably, it also featured three filter cartridges on its sides and bottom in order to keep his pollen allergy under control. Because most of his journey is done traversing the desert, he sports a pair of goggles.

His attire consists of a beige shirt and loose fitting black pants tightened by a belt wrapped multiple times over his waist — between which the Flower Sword is strapped. The entirety of right hand, arm, and shoulder is covered up by dark golden-coloured leather and plated with blue samurai armor. His left hand and arm, up to his forearm, is covered by a lighter golden-coloured leather. Though, underneath it is accented by blue bandages. He also sports dark-coloured (possibly black) shinobi sandals and a dark brown cloak that reached down just below his knees.

Abilities
Swordsmanship: Sahara, typical of a samurai, has considerable skill as a swordsman. Having mastered the Flower Sword's many forms, he is able to use its abilities in quick succession to land debilitating strikes upon his targets. He is also capable of skillfully wielding a sword with his off-hand or two in tandem.

Heightened Speed and Reflexes: Sahara has considerable speed and reflexes, having been capable of intercepting foes despite having to cover noticeably lengthy distances and dodging attacks from other swordsmen despite being bound. With aid from the versatile Flower Sword, he is able to react and save himself and others from varying difficult situations. This proves himself to be adaptable to even the most surreal danger.
