Shijima is one of the Eight People of Kimon, and the fifth to be defeated.

Personality[]

Shijima is a curious and arrogant shadow ninja who relies on illusions and hypnosis to outsmart his enemies. He seems to be quite insane person. When he gets a leg chopped off by Jūbei Kibagami, not only he doesn't blink, but also hops away and does not even tend it. Shijima has a mind of the strategist. He relies on misdirection, trickery, ambush tactics, and luring his enemies into traps.

Appearance[]

Shijima is a thin man in his physical prime with pale skin. He wears traditional dark purple ninja robes and a black turban.

Biography[]

A shinobi master of stealth and shadow, Shijima captures and brainwashes Kagerō to lure Jūbei into his trap. When Jūbei tries to rescue Kagerō, he finds that Shijima is manipulating her as she attacks him. Shijima strikes with his claw from the shadows but Jūbei evades and counters by throwing his sword towards the shadow of a support pillar. Only partially merged with the shadow, Shijima is struck in the back by Jūbei 's sword and killed instantly.

Abilities[]

As a shadow warrior, he has the ability to merge into the shadows, create clones of himself, fire a large metallic claw from his hand and even possess people's minds. His main weapon is his mechanical claw which he can throw very fast out of the shadows. But when the shadows fail him, he can be easily exposed by his enemies and show signs of cowardice.

He uses a weird contraption that is kinda like a crossbow if instead of a bolt there was a multipronged claw that fired from a spring and was connected to the bow by a metal chain. However, while its main purpose seems to be a sudden assassination weapon while striking from the shadows, he doesn't actually have much luck with it; Dakuan is able to dodge it at the last instant and Jūbei blocks it, and when Shijima tries to pull the chain back to the bow against the latter, he winds up impaling himself on Jūbei's sword, as it had become entangled in the claw/chain.
