Prince Rowan Ashikaga

Prince Rowan Ashikaga Allegiance: Nobunaga’s imperial clan (distant collateral bloodline) Nationality: Anglo-Japanese Role: Disgraced prince, playboy, patron of underground arenas Description: Rowan bears the Ashikaga name like a joke only he’s in on. Rumors say he lost his right to succession in a duel — others say he threw it for fun. He lives in penthouses, funds illegal duels, and collects swords he never uses. His charm is weaponized, his ambition well-hidden behind decadence.

Entourage:

15 professional guards

Tachibana Goro – The Ex-General Now Rowan’s chauffeur and drinking partner. Once commanded 20,000 troops; now commands a high-end sports car and an unlit cigar. Knows every back alley from Osaka to Palermo. Still speaks in battlefield metaphors.

Ai Kisaragi – The Fallen Idol Once a pop sensation, now calls herself "maid" but does nothing domestic. Dresses in hybrid fashion: apron over designer wear. Collects gossip like ammunition. Flirts with everyone but seems to love no one — except maybe Rowan.

Kuro & Kuro No one knows if they're siblings, lovers, or clones. One is male, one androgynous — both wear monochrome suits, mirrored sunglasses, and speak only in whispers. Experts in debt collection, information trade, and making problems “go away.”

Manner: Flashy, sarcastic, with a bored prince energy. Quote: "I may not be the crown… but I make the crown dance."
