Captain Hido

The Japanese pirate captain awoke in a strange place, surrounded by what seemed to be a yellow ribbon made of beams of light. Looking around, he saw many strange beings of various shapes and sizes. He stood, rubbing at his head with a groan. "Ka ga atsu tano?" (What just happened?)

"Ah, you're awake." a strange, small, blue man beside him spoke in a rather monotone and boring voice.

Gennosuke spun and drew his sword, ready for a confrontation. It was then he noticed his swords weren't his swords. Looking closer at the weapons, he noticed they each had the same basic shape as his katana but with extra metal near the tip, extended guards to encircle the handles, and a chain dangling from each one, giving them both a western key-like shape. While examining the weapons he held, he failed to take notice of the weapons aimed at him. "Kore wa nan desu ka? Anata wa nan desu ka? Koko wa doko da?" (What is this? What are you? Where am I?) Upon finally noticing the vaguely gun-shaped things and variously shaped blades pointed at him, he sheathed his new weapons, glancing back at the now-empty sheaths as they disappeared.

Many of the game characters had begun to gather around this man, wondering where he came from and why he was here, though all were warned off by the strange blue man, who he could somehow understand despite the language barrier. Seeing as he was surrounded, he decided to sit back down and wait for everyone else to leave. Despite being able to understand the blue man, he didn't know if the blue man could understand him. All he could do was wait.
