Born on November 14,
1374 Tokagero lived about the same time as Amidamaru. As a
ghost he said that when he was alive that he lived through
hell. He also said, "I had to live off my parents-- quite
literally-- to survive." One of Rio's men says that his
grandma told him the whole story. He says:
An Ancient Brigade! He stole everything--money, food, lives!
He led a horde of bandits who terrorized the area 600 years
ago!
There was a hill Tokagero and his group used as a hideout,
but one day Amidamaru killed him and his group.
B-Boy, the superstitious one of Rio's group, tells the guys
about the legend of Tokagero.
Rio gets possessed by Tokagero, and he asks Rio's gang to
steal Harusame, Amidamaru's sword (Harusame translates as
spring rain). He uses Manta as bait... and his shield. When
he gets to where Yoh is staying, he asks to fight Amidamaru,
although Amidamaru couldn't remember him. He does a
technique called tokage kenpo (lizard style) sword fight
with Harusame. Also Harusame gets broken by Amidamaru.
His revenge failed, and he was going to kill Rio, but as Yoh
put it "His body couldn't take it anymore." He does possess
Yoh to kill him, but he couldn't because of love and
security he felt when he was with his mother. - by Jonathan
