Ochimusha

Warriors of Zipangu called “bushi” who died with regrets but were revived by yokai energy dwelling in their corpses. While they are undead, a firm will dwells within their eyes. Some of them return to the place they used to live to once again serve their former lord, and others will wander on foot seeking a new lord, becoming the faithful servants of the human men they encounter. They have a peculiar value system called “bushido” which deems selfless devotion and taking responsibility by risking one's life as virtuous, and they will personally support their lord along his path and protect him. Even after death, they never neglect their training, and continuously boost their power as swordsmen. The sharp swords bushi wield that are called “katanas” become magical swords in which yokai energy dwells when gripped by them, releasing a flash of mysteriously alluring light, and their swordsmanship becomes even greater than when they were living. Originally, they did battle with a readiness to lay down their lives, but having already lost their lives once and become undead, they are undying soldiers who do not lose their lives on the battlefield. No matter how much their bodies are wounded, their wounds will heal by receiving their lord's affection, and they will regenerate an even more beautifully powerful body.
