Toyoda Tadakatsu

Toyoda Tadakatsu (豊田 忠勝, Toyoda Tadakatsu; "Tadakatsu Toyoda") is the ghostly spirit of an infamous warlord from the Sengoku period. After being purified by Machio Naruzo, he takes residence at the Masura Shrine and joins Silverman Gym.

Appearance
Tadakatsu is a Japanese man in his thirties, relatively tall, with a very large and muscular physique. He looks remarkably similar to Jason Sgatham, which is confusing for nearly all the female cast members, quickly suggested they even look like "clones." He is very traditional in in personal grooming, sporting an untied chonmage hairstyle with a shaved head and a thin goatee. He also has very thin eyebrows and trademark samurai "eagle's eye" eyeshadow makeup, though mildly worn given his centuries-old age. The top of his bald head generally displays a small will-o'-wisp of fading aura, signifying his ghostly status and his physique shifts from having visible legs to being a floating being with a much larger wisp replacing his lower body. His apparel, however, is unknowingly comical with its modernity and his obvious lack of fashion. He can also, apparently, flex the "muscles" of his ghostly wisps.

No one except Hibiki and Deire seem to be see that he's a ghost (Machio is shown to be spiritually aware).

Personality
Tadakatsu was once a 16th century warlord with a strong and confident determination. He was introduced as an evil being, bent on revenge and conquest, who was easily angered by modern ignorance. After his "exercism" by Machio, he became very laid-back and welcoming, bent more on personal and public service to Hibiki and Machio. Given his sealing for hundreds of years in a well, he is understandably naive of modern ways. Similarly, he continues to speak in a very ancient manner, mostly referring to others as "lords" or "ladies" as well as using old terminology and retaining unused grammatical structure. Tadakatsu is a very loyal and happy person, full of respect and willingness to support.

History
Hailing from the Sengoku period, Toyoda was one of the most prominent warlords of the time (he is regarded as the strongest of the warlords by Sengoku Era maniacs). Never bearing any wounds in battle, he died in his sleep, falling prey to a trap by an enemy general. His regret and hatred, turned him into a "grudge" that kept his spirit anchored to the mortal plane.

Plot
He attacks and possesses Gina Boyd. He planed to attack Machio and Hibiki, but after Machio impresses him with his muscle power, he admits defeat and joins Silverman Gym.

Abilities
He was known as the "Warrior Who Surpassed Death Itself" and was a genius strategist.

Physical Abilities
Being a ghost, he can fly through the air, change his shape to a small degree (though not alter his appearance), transparency/invisibility, instantaneous transportation, pass through solid objects and also interact with the physical world. Being a macho samurai, he is very strong and very skilled in combat and training. He is also capable of possession, taking full control of human hosts. Given his spiritual nature, on more religious days in the year he is notably weaker and more lethargic. This also applies to his ability to interact with humans, as only more spiritually attuned people like Hibiki can even see or hear him (unlike Akemi). He also cannot wander in spiritually guarded locations and requires help (via possession) to gain access.
