Kozō

Kozō (小僧, Kozō) is the "new" name of Nakamura Jirokichi (仲村次郎吉; Jirokichi), a thief and folk hero from the who was supposedly caught and executed for the burglary of over 100  estates and the impressive theft of over 30,000 ryō. In reality, he was switched with a body double at the last moment by Meika and her group, in order for him to join them in their revolutionary ways. He quickly gained fame within the organisation and now holds the second highest position on the ladder, both in skills and influence. The public believes Kozō is the ghost of Jirokichi who has returned from the death for revenge, but the government knows damn well who he is and has placed a bounty on his head only second in magnitude to Meika's.
