Masanosuke is a skilled swordsman hailing from a prominent family. He is very shy and despite his incredible talent, he is often fired because of his shyness around other people. He left home because he initially felt he didn't belong in his hometown. He works with Fives Leaves after Yaichi hired him as a bodyguard; however he was unaware of the group's illegal activities, which involved kidnapping. He admires parts of Yaichi's carefree personality and even idolizes him somewhat, but is curious about his leader's past.   (Source: Wikipedia) 

Masterless samurai Akitsu Masanosuke is a skilled and loyal swordsman, but his naïve, diffident nature has more than once caused him to be let go by the lords who employ him. Hungry and desperate, he agrees to become a bodyguard for Yaichi, the charismatic leader of a group calling itself “Five Leaves.” Although disturbed by the gang’s sinister activities, Masa begins to suspect that Yaichi’s motivations are not what they seem. And despite his misgivings, the deeper he’s drawn into the world of the Five Leaves, the more he finds himself fascinated by these devious, mysterious outlaws.
