CHARACTER LORE INTRODUCTION

In an alternate Japan untouched by the chaos of mutual killing games, the warring states still tremble under the ambitions of lords and rising bloodlines. Amid the turmoil, a quiet yet brilliant young daimyō rises in the lands of Ōshū and heir to two noble lines: the disciplined Uesugi through his late father, and the refined Ashikaga through his mother. Bearing the title Sakura no Daimyō (Lord of the Cherry Blossom), Saihara Shuichi governs a modest but resolute territory. Though he speaks with restraint and walks with grace, those who mistake his kindness for weakness often do not live to regret it. Surrounded by loyal retainers, artists, and warriors alike, Daimyō Shuichi maintains a dream: a peaceful unification, not through tyranny but diplomacy, honor, and quiet conviction. This blog is a character askblog set in a non-despair Sengoku/Edo-period reimagining of Danganronpa V3. RP-friendly, lore-anchored, respectful of tone and cultural inspiration.

Character sample introduction

Ah… yoku mairimashita. I am Saihara Shuichi to mōshimasu.

I serve as the daimyō of this province — though many know me simply as the Sakura no Daimyō, for the cherry blossoms bloom earliest on my land.

Heika no go-meirei wa mamorimasu. I hold my retainers dear, and I govern not through fear, but with justice, mercy, and the counsel of wise men.

If thou seek peace, thou art welcome here. But if thou bring harm to those I protect... I will not falter.

Koko wa heiwa no kuni demo, wasurenaide. Even a land of blossoms may wield a hidden blade.

Should you wish to speak, you may leave a letter, sore wa, watashi no kenkō to kokoro no michi e no michibiki to narimashou.

Yoroshiku onegai itashimasu.

Is anyone reads jisēi again?

Eh?? How did you know?

Oh yeah I did it's jisēi from my samurai ally Sanada sukemasa.. that died by seppuku.

"Tsurugi naki yo ni wa kokoro mamoru nari" it means "In a world without swords, the heart remains the final defense."

And that's why if I fail on war I'm never commit seppuku, because failure isn't end of anything..

[daimyo-shuichi-no-sakura]

Is Japanese village is like that?

Iiē... some separated by lawns some has structure house after house after house..

If there's problematic teenager screaming and crying the sounds bleeds through the walls.

[daimyo-shuichi-no-sakura]

Shuichi someone berserking and crying on beside my house, because the wall is connected on each house.

A... I know what you're talking about, it's because one wall separate each house so the sounds can break through!

So rampaging, screaming, crying sounds can break through walls or even shoji screens...

Sounds like on village that I'm living in on oshu province.

Japanese village is like that.

What!? I check my house in oshu province it's all fine..

Oh wait.. that's on modern era..

Don't worry we can repair it from inside using local builders, I remembered that time I'm almost assasinated, and hear that rogue force destroying my house in process.

But that's just part of life there's nothing such life is always stuck on happy times, no way it's always the time when it's sad or urgent not always on happy times.

[daimyo-shuichi-no-sakura]

So what's you learn on bushidō?

Well.. I'm learned about restraint and of course like it means, way of warrior! So my years and years early training with Takeda munekage wasn't going to waste.

okay I know this from my sēnsēi who trained me psychically and mentally into samurai Takeda munekage.. jin okay, this is means compassion, this is deep, I learned to be compassionate to others, means unconditional care to others.

rēi means well uhm.. politeness, I must polite as samurai do not rude, or raising my voice except on war, I will never loses his grace or dignity, I'm also treating allies and enemies alike with decorum, never stooping to bitterness or passive-aggression.

Yu means heroic courage, I'm brave I don't fear death, and I'm not a coward, that's because I continues in spite of it.

Makoto means honesty and sincerity, I learned not to lie and keep seeking for truth to uncover lies.. I must have sincerity if I speak..

Meiyo honor, yep this is what I always have, honor, I have dignity and honor, I never let myself to get affected by outside negative forces, especially for a feudal Daimyō, my sēnsēi told me "To suffer with honor is not to suffer in silence but to suffer with purpose."

Gi integrity, yeah don't ask about this one, I do what's right, even when no ones watching or noticed.

Chūgi means loyalty, I learns being loyal is a good thing, even if something happens I'll stay loyal to everyone, even under hardship my loyalty don't bend!

Kokki means self control, this is what I learned first, self control, I never lets agony turn into cruelty, or I'm never whining how world unfair and stuff.. What I feel is real. But what I do with it is mine to choose.

[daimyo-shuichi-no-sakura]

Are your retainers use Tumblr?

They don't.. unfortunately.. they don't know what is Tumblr..

If they know they'll horrified or shocked there's something not right about people portraying me and causing they framed them as insult to their lord, aka me.

This will caused horrible conflict online this is shouldn't be happened! So I guess I don't let them use Tumblr.

If they do I suppose they only allowed interact with my blog instead other sketchy version of me.

[daimyo-shuichi-no-sakura]

My lord how's your family going?

My mother was all mentally healthy and she's still reciting my father death poem.. that's meaningful.. I'm only child on household.

Really her voice is soothing like a breeze on moonlight.

And again legacy lives on! We have to treat someone death with grief and restraint not with despair.. I guess this is what I have now.

My mother always told me about this.

“You must continue the fallen ones legacy not breaking down or becoming despairful.”

That's what shaped me until today!

[daimyo-shuichi-no-sakura]

What are your retainers been doing lord Shuichi?

Hmm good question..

Ēto.... they're mostly doing poetry and practicing their sword skill by cutting rolled tatami mat!

I'm also doing it, so to my retainers, ganbarē!

Heheh gomēn.. Japanese slips habit.
