Jusenkyo Guide

The Jusenkyo Guide works at Jusenkyo and usually warns anyone that comes there that they should not train there or they will fall under a grave curse. He knows the names of the hundreds of pools through the area, when they became cursed, and the "tragic story" behind each of them.

The Guide also has a daughter, named Plum. He is always very helpful to anyone that comes and visits, and tries to offer whatever help he can.

The Guide is also in charge of the guest registry that Pantyhose later uses to track down all the victims of the Jusenkyo curses.
