This is the article about the character Shishi Ouin. For the other character who uses this name, head to Genpou Saji (real).

Saji is one of the big four of Nanyou Academy and is possibly their strongest fighter. Saji's real name is Shishi Ouin, although he prefers his alias Genpou Saji.

Soul History

Shishi Ouin was a master manipulator. In the original kingdoms era, he masterminded the betrayal of Ryofu against Toutaku, which caused Toutaku's death and led to his rule, although he dies shortly after.

Appearance

Saji has brown hair that reaches his forehead and the back of his neck all the way down to his shoulders. He wears his high school uniform—a light brown vest, button-up shirt, and black pants—most of the time.

Personality

Saji is a pervert who enjoys groping women unexpectedly. He is very arrogant, thinking that he is smarter than all of the fighters in the Kanto region. Saji also enjoys manipulating people, as he has done with Shimei Ryomou, Ryofu, and even Toutaku.

Story (Manga)

Introductory Arc

Saji is walked in on by Koukin during a make-out session with a random girl. Saji catches the sophomore and tells him that it was not a big deal. He then tells Koukin that his cousin is going to attend the school today and quiets him down to hear the information, as two students state that a masculine girl was beating up people at the front gates. Saji is then seen with Gakushuu and tells him that he had crossed the line and that Enjutsu would probably find out about him fighting Hakufu Sonsaku, even though he was B-ranked and she was E-ranked.

The Big four Arc

Saji is next seen on the phone, having been informed that Ensho of Yoshu Academy had been elected leader of the Anti-Toutaku alliance, as well as Choubaku of Chinryou high, and Koukousan of Yushu high is also considering membership. Saji then gets off the phone and decides to tease Ryomou about how she was not the one to get the order to kill Hakufu Sonsaku, which causes her to get angry at him to the point of actually threatening to kill him, although Saji doesn't seem to mind being killed by her. Saji is then seen watching as Ryomou begins her fight against Hakufu.

Genpou is later seen confronting Koukin, telling him he was under strict orders not to allow anyone to interrupt the match between Hakufu and Ryomou. Saji offers Koukin to go by, but only if he is able to defeat him; although not seen, it seems that Saji defeated Koukin decisively. Saji is then greeted by Gakushuu, who tells him that his overconfidence will be his downfall. Gakushuu then states that he knows Saji had a bigger hand in this than he is leading on and asks why Hakufu, to which Saji simply states that Hakufu was a contradiction, being both a possible threat and a possible ray of hope.

Saji is next seen interrupting Ryomou and Hakufu's match, distracting Ryomou long enough for Hakufu to land a clean hit on her. Saji then watches as an angered Ryomou snaps Hakufu's neck. He then watches as Hakufu gets back up and slams Ryomou to the ground headfirst.

Hakufu's Broken Spirit Arc

Saji is seen with Gakushuu after failing to convince the nurse to let them see Ryomou, remembering how Hakufu has gone through some sort of change when she was fighting Ryomou, as though possessed, and was able to defeat her quite easily. Saji then tells Gakushuu that he is actually scared of her, although it doesn't seem to bother him as he believes interesting times are coming.

Toutaku's Retaliation Arc

Saji is next seen having beaten up a bunch of monks, taking a sheathed sword along with him. While walking, he remembers how the fight between Ryomou and Hakufu ended, with Hakufu trying to fight him and him being able to save Ryomou and knock Hakufu out, although at the expense of breaking his arm. He then visits Ryomou in the hospital and tells her that Kanshou Kouchuu from Yoshu high has been taken down by Toutaku. He then leaves, stating that Nanyo was now hers.

Saji goes to Rakuyo high school to find Toutaku at his watermelon patch and decides that he needs to kill him, since Toutaku was gaining far too much power, far too quickly, and that he had to awaken Hakufu Sonsaku just to balance it out. Saji then unsheathes his newly acquired blade, Kusanagi no Tsurugi, which he plans to kill Toutaku with. Toutaku tells him to go ahead and stab, but reveals how useful Saji actually was, which makes Saji hesitate in his decision.

Story (Anime)

Ikkitousen

Saji introduces himself to Hakufu, stealing her magatama in the process, through which he finds out that Hakufu is the hero from the west. Saji then meets up with Ryomou and is able to goad her into attacking Hakufu.

Saji is next seen at the stairs, where he stops Koukin from trying to stop the fight between Hakufu and Ryomou. Saji then watches and interrupts Ryomou and Hakufu's match after seeing Hakufu become wild, saving Ryomou from being choked to death.

Saji then goes to Rakuyo high school with the intention of assassinating Toutaku but ends up not trying as he may get killed. Saji then fights Ryofu and loses, although Ryofu takes him to her quarters.

While Saji is recovering in Ryofu's quarters, he is constantly on his phone texting unknown messages to unknown people. He eventually leaves and is then seen at the boiler room, where he has trapped both Koukin and Gakushuu. He then reveals his plan to them, stating that he had killed Enjutsu and that he was the one giving Kouha Kannei the orders to do as he did, as well as breaking Kannei in the process.

His final battle with Hakufu and Ryomou commences at a cliff. Saji tries to control Hakufu from the shadows, ruling all of China through Hakufu, trying to avoid his fate, but ends up being nearly choked to death by Toutaku, who has taken over Hakufu's body. Saji, after his plan has failed, tries to kill himself, but is saved by Hakufu and the rest of the Nanyo academy students who were there, allowing him a second chance at life and forgiving him for all he did.

Saji is then visited by Ryomou at the hospital, where he asks if Ryomou would like to visit Tokubou Teifu with him, to which she agrees.

Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny

Saji appears during a meeting between Ryomou, Gakushuu, and Koukin. He and the others go to the original spot where the big four used to meet, where they read the description in the rock at the center of the meeting place, deducing that it had talked about Hakufu and how she was the conqueror of the west and that Hakufu was still possibly alive. Their meeting is then interrupted by Youjou Bashoku, who, bearing the bell of peace, has a message for Nanyo, explaining that Seito wants a meeting with them. Saji then reveals that he had somehow known that Youjou was the fake Kannei and that she was the one who killed Kakuka, causing Kyosho to attack them. Saji and Ryomou decide to go, wanting to stop Kyosho as well.

Saji, while walking to Seito, tells Ryomou that he had left because he had feared his own death and tried disappearing from history.

Saji and Ryomou finally get to Seito, where Saji "introduces" himself to Gentoku Ryuubi, causing an uproar with Ekitoku Chouhi and Ryomou, with Gentoku crying. Koumei Shokatsuryou then appears, revealing that she knew Saji's real name. Koumei continues to explain why she had made Nanyo Kyosho's enemy, telling them that she needed to buy time to gather their forces. Saji then deduces that the Dragon Jade was able to somehow suppress the power of the dragon. Saji then accepts the Dragon Jade from Koumei as a peace offering, deciding that Nanyo needs to join forces with Seito to try to face the threat of Kyosho.

Saji and Ryomou get back from their meeting and reveal to both Gakushuu and Koukin that they had gotten the Dragon Jade and they are going to fight Kyosho beside Seito.

Saji is then seen at the place where the Battle of Red Cliffs will take place, giving Koumei the Dragon Jade, ready to fight Kyosho. The battle begins and Saji finds himself face to face with Bunen Choryo, who is able to deduce his true identity. Saji fights Bunen to a double knockout. Saji is then landed on by Ryomou, who was fighting Myousai Kakouen. Saji and Ryomou then do a dual chi blast, defeating Kakouen. After their battle, they are seen watching as Gentoku and Hakufu beat Sousou together after gaining control of their respective dragons.

Saji is then seen at lunch studying with Koukin for the finals while being distracted by the girls due to Saji's own flirtatious manner.
