Benisato is one of the Eight People of Kimon.

Personality[]

Benisato is a seductive woman and Zakuro has claimed that she has slept with the leader of the Eight People of Kimon; Genma Himuro. Also, Benisato appears to Jūbei Kibagami in a hot spring while nude and posing seductively, though her true intentions are less about getting intimate with him and more about luring him into letting his guard down. Also, while she appears completely nude, she seems to not feeling any shame for that.

She is also a vain and spiteful person. When she was threatened by Yurimaru, Benisato tells him outright that she will give his message for Genma in the latter's bed, knowing Yurimaru's jealously about it. However, her smug nature ends up doing her in, especially after taunting Yurimaru over her relationship with Genma Himuro after failing once.

Appearance[]

She is a tall and matured woman with a slender curvaceous build with long legs and arms. Although a ninja herself, Benisato has the appearance of a beautiful and seductive geisha. She has porcelain skin and long dark hair tied back in a coif with a hairpin and traditional comb. Benisato is covered in serpent tattoos that come alive when she uses her powers and will usually appear naked during a battle to throw off her male victims. She wears traditional Japanese geisha robes.

Biography[]

She is first seen after Jūbei defeated Tessai after the latter copies Jūbei's image into his handprint for her to find. Benisato then attempted to seduce and kill Jūbei in the hot springs with the use of her snake tattoos. Once Jūbei snaps out of her spell, Benisato escapes using her cast-off skin. She is then threatened by Yurimaru after her failure. When given another chance to deal with the aforementioned vagabond, Benisato provokes Yurimaru's envy before leaving.

Later when Jūbei is at a deserted temple, Benisato possesses an elderly woman there and kills her with snakes before emanating Jūbei on the ground. Rising out of her swarm of snakes in the nude, Benisato then interrogates Jūbei on who else was traveling with him other than the monk Dakuan. It's there that Kagerō sneaks up on Benisato from behind with a knife to the latter's throat, demanding to get rid of her snakes. Defiant, Benisato tries to poison Kagerō with a snake she produces from her vagina, only for Kagerō to brush it off and demand again. Benisato is forced to disperse her snakes and free Jūbei. Before interrogations about the Eight People of Kimon could begin, Benisato is suddenly electrocuted from afar by Yurimaru with a long cable tied to her neck. Collapsing to the floor, Benisato can only scream and howl in agony as she wildly convulses until she dies as a light shines out of her eyes and mouth. She is the second of the Kimon to be defeated.

Abilities[]

She can seduce victims with her beautiful appearance. However, her main ability is the control of snakes, that actually come from her body totally naked in many shapes and forms. She also has the ability to shed her skin like a snake. Her body is covered in serpentine tattoos, and these tattoos come to life and try to kill Jūbei. Also, after Jūbei is caught by her snakes in the temple, she emerges from a pile of the damn animals. It isn't clear whether she can dissolve her body in a number of snakes and or if she was simply hiding under them all the time.

In her very first apparition in the film, she carries a lute-like instrument that opens to reveal a hidden blade, but it is never used afterwards.
