Suikoden II
"Your strength also has been forged through hard battle. I would be pleased to walk along the same path as you, Lord Riou."

- Genshu

Genshu is a swordsman obsessed with swords. He once worked as a mercenary for anyone who could afford to pay him, but grew tired of that lifestyle. Genshu encountered Hero (Suikoden II) during the Dunan Unification War in Coronet Town. Impressed by Riou's sharpened weapon, Genshu joined the New State Army, feeling Riou had similar ideals. Genshu particularly enjoyed being close to the Star Dragon Sword, which he was said to almost worship.

After the war, Genshu returned to his wandering life, his whereabouts unknown.
