Genshu (ゲンシュウ, Genshuu) is a character in Suikoden II. Genshu is a wandering swordsman who lent his strength to the New State Army.
Genshu was a swordsman obsessed with swords. Genshu was born into the warrior caste in his homeland, along with his younger brother, Tesshu. Together they trained, with Genshu being judged the less talented of the two.
Diving ahead with reckless abandon in an attempt to bridge the gap, the two become known as The Wise and Foolish Siblings due to Tesshu's natural talent and humility and Genshu's wild hotheaded drive to win at any cost. His inferiority complex made him rude and surly, although he always loved and respected his brother.
Eventually, Genshu would leave his home village, following a path of increasing his strength by fighting in life-and-death duels, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. Even when his opponents would refuse to duel, Genshu was said to sometimes force the matter. However, an incident with a masked challenger would change Genshu's life. (more...)
