Hara Shouji

Hara Shouji is the head of Hara House. He is a gentle ruler, and is loved by his people. However, he doesn't have much confidence in himself. He is married to Akihime due to political reason, and he loves her truly, though Akihime doesn't seem to share the same sentiment, which eventually lead to their fall.

There is a rumor that his character design is based on Hara Mitsugu, a famous person in the Japanese baseball circle. This may tie in with the pun for Red Hell.

In response to his wife's demand, Shouji accepted Oda's war invitation unwillingly.

After Oda conquered Hara House, Shouji asked Akihime to commit suicide in order to avoid disgrace within a defeated family to fall upon her, though Aki strongly refuse and eventually asked him to just divorce her instead. Shouji snapped and start attacking Akihime out of rage due to the disappointment. Fortunately, Rance barges in to save the day by capturing Shouji once and for all.

Hara Shouji can be added to the troops by a negotiation with him in the prison.
