Biography[]
Ukyo was born a farmer and suffered attacks from the Nobuseri. These attacks caused him to grow to hate machine samurai. Eventually, he was taken in by Ayamaro who pampered and spoiled him rotten. He grew to enjoy this new life, even gaining his own harem.
While out with his subordinate, Tessai, Ukyo notices a farm girl named Kirara, who he quickly takes an interest in. He attempts to lure her in by promising her a powerful samurai, which she was looking for. However, this was a lie, and Tessai knocks her out, leading to Ukyo berating him on potentially bruising her and lessening her value. When she comes to, she figures out she had been lied to as Ukyo says she doesn't need to return to her farm life.
He refuses to let her go despite her demands, but they are stopped by two inexperienced samurai who arrive to rescue her. Ukyo makes a run for it while leaving two subordinates to fight them off and capture Kirara unharmed. However, Ayamaro finds out about this incident and orders to have Kirara's entire group eliminated, sending Kyuzo and Hyogo, much to Ukyo's frustration. After that order fails, an Imperial Envoy is found dead in their quarters, prompting Ayamaro to put an arrest warrant on all samurai. Little does he know that it was Ukyo that did the envoy in.
Eventually, Ukyo decides to take matters into his own hands and hunt down Kirara's group with intent on killing all except Kirara, yelling at his group whenever they fire shots that could have potentially hit her. However, they are forced to fall back when the samurai enter an area under protection of the guardians.
After hearing the Ayamaro would be getting removed from his position, Ukyo is amused at gaining the position himself. When the samurai Kanbei confesses to killing the Envoy and attempts to kill the Amenushi, Ukyo decides to pay the emperor a visit. There, it is revealed that Ukyo is a clone of the Amenushi, created to live a farm life after previous clones failed to meet the emperor's expectations and died. In order to ensure Ukyo was worthy, the Amenushi puts him through a three day test of questions. At the end of it, Ukyo is declared worthy. Afterward, Ukyo confronts Kanbei and reveals himself the true killer. He then lets Kanbei know his intent on control of the entire world.
Later, while Ukyo is alone with his father, he asks the question of whether or not an empire can be ruled by two emperors. When the Amenushi replies that such a thing is entirely unnecessary, Ukyo unplugs his life system, killing him, then uses his voice to fool the crowd into believing the emperor was giving his title to Ukyo in his dying moments. There, he pardons all Samurai and assigns them to various villages. He also bring his harem to replace the girls that his father held captive.
He then gets ready to watch Kanbei's execution. However, when Kanbei manages to escape, Ukyo tells the crowd that Kanbei had a good reason for killing the Envoy and his father, detailing most of the atrocities his father did, that the girls his father held captive would be released and that Kanbei would also be pardoned. However, while Ukyo fools the general public, Kirara's group is not convinced and Ayamaro, who was almost assassinated by Ukyo's men, lets the group know that Ukyo was lying.
Sure enough, Ukyo learns that the empire commands the Nobuseri he thoroughly despises, which he lets them know. When the Nobuseri asks if Ukyo wishes for them to commits seppuku, Ukyo instead tells them to keep doing their thing. However, when the remaining Nobuseri find out he has been commanding both sides, they are rightfully furious at such dishonesty. Before they retaliate, Ukyo has them destroyed with the Capital's main cannon. Afterward, the Prime Minister informs him of Nobuseri who will obey him without question. Upon seeing them, Ukyo takes a strong interest and declares his intent to destroy Kirara's home in Kanna village, leaving only Kirara alive.
He sends the soulless Nobuseri to fight the samurai, but is disappointed by how easily the samurai ward them off. Instead, the samurai manage to board the capital, so Ukyo forces some other clones that were made to serves as doppelgangers to throw the samurai off. Eventually though, they manage to catch Ukyo and take him down, causing Ukyo to lose his remaining sanity as he falls onto a ship ridden by Kirara. Before he can lay a finger on her though, Kikuchiyo punches him off, and he ends up falling into the chasm near Kanna, bringing his tyranny to an end.
