Daiyōkai

"I've watched you all fight since you crossed into my waters.. Each portraying a bestial might that even my men have never seen. No longer human, beast-No! Demons. But I've grown bored. You see, my agenda continuously expands. For allowing me enjoyment, I shall grant you your lives. And for fighting virulently I'll pass onto you all a title that this world will never forget. From here on, those who stand before me will forever by known as the Six Daiyōkai."

- Muzai Kaguya

Daiyōkai is the collective title of six shinobi who fought Muzai Kaguya during his conquering of Land of Water. Heavenly praised, these six Demon Warlords continuously proved their strength. So much so, Muzai placed an incredibly high bounty on each head. Claiming Unlimited riches awaiting he or she who takes down a Daiyōkai. As Daiyōkai, their influence grew exponentially. Their presence stopped grand battles, and even a couple potential wars. Shinobi fled. Feudal lords proved cowards. It became rare to see Daiyōkai interact. Some stating that the only way to stop an Daiyōkai is for another to interfere. Daiyōkai possess influence that last through generations. Daiyōkai children become known as Hanyōkai (半妖怪,Hanyōkai' "Lit Meaning;Half Monster"). Hanyōkai are born not only with innate power, but also inherit tremendous expectations as well as danger. Although many members abandoned their respective villages, they retained their immensely honorable title as one of the Six Demon Warlords (六魔戦神, Rokuma Senjin). Before their departure, Daiyōkai possess their own unique headbands. Made from Muzai's own bone.
