Sumisu Daizo

Sumisu Daizo is a two-hundred-year-old Samurai and the mentor of the Yokai Rangers.

Character History
Daizo was born around in the early 1800's in Japan, a nobleman and samurai. Probably thanks to Karakasa, he became the last of his clan. At some point, he also became engaged to a kabuki actress named Mizumi.

In 1823, Daizo found himself cornered by Karakasa, who outfought him and would have killed him but for the timely arrival of Mizumi and four Yokai: Kappa, Ushi-Oni, Okami and Tengu. Mizumi revealed herself to be a Kitsune, to Daizo's amazement. The five performed a Youth Spell on Karakasa which transformed him into his original form: a parasol. Unfortunately, it also drained the five of life, Mizumi living just long enough to say goodbye to her fiance.

As Daizo mourned, he was met by a Satori, whom he quickly shut off his thoughts to. The Satori revealed himself to be  Omoi the Wise. Before his death, he endowed Daizo with eternal youth until "the cycle" was broken, and the knowledge to complete the task. Knowing where to go and how long he had to wait, Daizo took a ship to America.

Finally, in Little Tokyo, Nevada, 2011 arrived, and Daizo made his move. He read out the Mark of the Incarnation spell, sending five colored energy orbs throughout the city to find the reincarnated Yokai and mark them with the kanji for love (愛). Then he went to an abandoned warehouse, waited, and summoned the five with a summoning spell. He waited for them to organize themselves, and was just starting to explain everything when Karakasa attacked.

Despite his defiance, Daizo was again defeated by Karakasa. Maya intervened to save him, and Karakasa revealed that she was Mizumi, to Daizo's shock. Retreating with the Yokai to the Meditation Sanctuary, Daizo healed Maya's hand and finally explained everything to the Rangers. After their battle, he informed them that their former lives would have been proud.
