Taito Magatsu
凶戴斗Biography
Taito Magatsu is one of the Ittō-ryū's finest swordsmen, a peasant-born kenshi. He wields Grand Turk, a triple-sectioned weapon built around a gladius-like main blade.
Story spoilers
He took up the blade to avenge his sister's killing by a samurai. Taito is among the few swordsmen to fight Manji and survive. After Shira kills O-ren, Taito leaves the Ittō-ryū and follows Manji because he knows Shira is pursuing him. Taito eventually confronts Shira, takes his remaining hand, and later rejoins the Ittō-ryū after meeting with Anotsu.
