Ghost of Tsushima characters

Hirotsune

Hirotsune is one of Kojiro's five Straw Hat followers in The Six Blades of Kojiro. He practises with his sword in the Field of the Equinox Flower while waiting for the Duel Among Spider Lilies.

Hochi

Hochi is a healer monk from Cedar Temple and Norio's friend. He led healers to Akashima Village and was captured by the Mongols. You rescue him in Norio's early tales.

Ichi

Ichi runs an inn in Otsuna in Toyotama and is Yuna's childhood friend from the Mamushi slave farm. Mongols under the warlord Altan have taken over her inn. She is your contact through Yuna's Tales, and she has not forgiven Yuna.

Ikeda

Ikeda was a Clan Kikuchi retainer and Hana's husband. People thought him kind, but at home he was a drunk who abused his wife. He died with many other samurai at Komoda Beach.

Jin Sakai

Jin Sakai is the samurai you play in Ghost of Tsushima and the Iki Island expansion. He is Lord Shimura's nephew and the last lord of Clan Sakai. After the Mongol landing he trades the samurai code for stealth and fear, and the people start calling him the Ghost.

Jinroku

Jinroku is a peasant posing as a samurai in the side tale The Other Side of Honor. Wearing a dead lord's armour, he charms a village of women in Kashine until Jin catches on.

Junshin

Junshin is a kind monk who turns the Golden Temple into a refuge and runs survivor camps across Ariake. He is the man Jin and Masako keep going to for leads in Masako's Tales, though he worries about her thirst for revenge.

Kaede

Kaede is a female samurai and the last of Tadayori Nagao's line. She guards Tadayori's Rest and duels Jin when she mistakes him for a grave robber in The Legend of Tadayori.

Kajiwara

Kajiwara is a fisherman and former Adachi retainer who recruited the killers for the massacre. Masako sacked him for beating his wife and daughter. Junshin, who thinks he is a gentle man, reluctantly points you to his beach hut.

Kanetomo

Kanetomo is the cruellest of Kojiro's five Straw Hat followers in The Six Blades of Kojiro. He waits for Jin in Kubara and kills peasants to pass the time before the Duel Under Autumn Leaves.

Kazumasa Sakai

Lord Kazumasa Sakai is Jin's father and the former head of Clan Sakai. He died in a raider ambush on Iki Island while Jin watched, frozen with fear. That memory haunts Jin through the whole game and drives the Iki Island expansion.

Kenji

Kenji is a sake seller and small-time swindler who keeps dragging Jin into his schemes. He smuggles Jin and Yuna into Azamo Bay to free Taka, then pops up with his own three-part Kenji's Tales. In the Iki Island expansion his trouble with a smuggler is how Jin gets to Iki.

Kharchu

Khotun Khan

Khotun Khan is the Mongol general who leads the invasion of Tsushima and the main villain of Ghost of Tsushima. He studied Japanese language and customs before landing, and he uses the samurai code against the island's defenders. You chase him from Komoda Beach to the north of the island.

Khunbish

Khunbish is the Eagle's lieutenant and the second villain of the Iki Island expansion. The huge commander holds Fort Sakai, Jin's family fort, and tortures prisoners there before forcing the Eagle's medicine on them. You face him when you take the fort back.

Lady Sanjo runs Umugi Cove, a haven where bandits, ronin and anyone else may live if they follow her rules. She gives Jin work in the side tale The Generosity of Lady Sanjo.

Lord Shimura

Lord Shimura is the jito of Tsushima, the shogun's appointed ruler of the island, and Jin's uncle. He raised Jin as a samurai after Jin's father died. He leads the defence at Komoda Beach and is the man you spend Act 1 trying to rescue. He also has his own Tale of Lord Shimura in the main story.

Mai

Mai is a thief and former Adachi servant, and the last of the conspirators you hunt in Masako's Tales. She and Masako were secret lovers before she was sent away for stealing. She looted the Adachi estate after the massacre.

Mamushi brothers

The Mamushi brothers, Taizo, Manzo and Kichizo, are three slavers who own the Mamushi Farmstead. They once held Yuna and Taka and now work for the warlord Altan. In Silent Death you sneak in to deal with them.

Masako Adachi

Lady Masako Adachi is the only survivor of Clan Adachi and one of Jin's allies. Her husband and sons die in the Mongol landing and the rest of her family is murdered the same night. Her side storyline, Masako's Tales, has you hunting the people behind that massacre.

Norio
