10. Kagerou
Kagerou is one of the best ninja of the Kouga clan. She has a very attractive appearance with her long black hair. In addition, she is among those who do not like Gennosuke and Oboro's engagement.
Kagerou has a deadly poison breath. With her beauty, she can enchant the males and finish them off in one kiss. In addition, she is very skilled in using shikomizue swords and shurikenjutsu.
9. Akeginu
Akeginu is a bodyguard and confidant of Princess Oboro. Just like Kagerou, she has a beautiful yet alluring appearance. In addition, she has great fighting skills.
In terms of fighting ability, Akeginu has a unique and special technique. She can use her blood to create a mist that can interfere with the opponent's vision. In addition, she also mastered the art of the sword in combat.
8. Koshirou Chikuma
Just like Akeginu, Koshirou Chikuma is one of the selected ninja from the Iga clan who is very talented. He has high loyalty to the clan. In addition, he had time to train under the direction of Tenzen Yakushiji.
Koshirou has a mainstay technique called Kamaitachi which is able to tear his enemy apart. In addition, he is very skilled in using a pair of scythes in close combat. It also has sensitive senses.
7. Kouga Danjou
Kouga Danjou is known as the leader of Kouga Manjidani and the grandfather of Gennosuke. He fully supports the engagement between Gennosuke and Oboro to stop the hostility between the two clans.
Danjou has characteristics that are almost similar to Gennosuke. He is very intelligent and talented as a ninja. He is very skilled in using senbonjutsu to attack enemies. In addition, he is a skilled kenjutsu user.
6. Saemon Kisaragi
Behind his quiet and calm appearance, Saemon Kisaragi is a ninja from the Kouga clan who is very dangerous in battle. He has a complex personality. In addition, he is obsessed with avenging his sister's death.
Saemon has the special ability to imitate other people's faces and voices. In addition, he is very skilled in using taijutsu. He can defeat his enemies only with his bare hands.
5. Yashamaru
Yashamaru is one of the Iga ninja who wants to stop the fighting between clans. He is engaged to a beautiful girl named Hotarubi. Because of that, he hoped to be able to live a quiet and peaceful life.
Apart from that, Yashamaru is a ninja who has an interesting fighting style. He wields a weapon in the form of a black wire thread. He can use these weapons to bind and defeat his enemies.
4. Oboro Iga
Oboro Iga is the granddaughter of Ogen as well as Gennosuke's very beautiful fiancé. She has a gentle nature and loves peace. Nonetheless, she was passive enough that his authority as clan leader was taken over by Tenzen.
In terms of fighting ability, Oboro is also considered weak because she is not skilled in martial arts or using weapons. However, Oboro Iga has mystical eyes that neutralize the effects and skills of a ninja.
3. Tenzen Yakushiji
In line with his violent appearance, Tenzen Yakushiji is the main enemy in the Basilisk story. After the death of Ogen, Tenzen took command as the de facto leader of the Iga clan.
Tenzen fought in a very brutal and unforgiving style. He is very skilled in using a sword as well as a senbon needle to finish off his enemies. In addition, he is increasingly difficult to defeat thanks to his impressive regeneration power.
2. Hyouma Muroga
Hyouma Muroga is one of the strongest ninja from the Kouga clan who is trusted by Danjou. Even though he couldn't trust the Iga clan, he fully supported Danjou's good intentions of bringing peace between the clans.
Hyouma has an interesting djutsu that allows him to control other people. Since the dojutsu is permanently active, he must close his eyes at all times. He also learned to increase the sensitivity of his senses to recognize the environment around him.
1. Gennosuke Kouga
As the heir to the Kouga clan, Gennosuke takes on the responsibility of bringing peace between clans. She decides to get engaged to Oboro so that this dream can come true.
Gennosuke inherited a very strong djutsu ability. Unlike Hyouma, he can use the djutsu at will. Apart from relying on that ability, he is very skilled in using the sword in battle.
