A page boy loyal to Shunkan that is first introduced in Book 3, episode 8. Because he was loved and looked after by Shunkan, Ariō seeks Shunkan out during his exile at Kikai-ga-shima, only to find him in very miserable circumstances. Ariō delivers a letter from Shunkan's daughter. Ariō stays with Shunkan until Shunkan's death shortly after Ariō's arrival
Below is an illustration of Ariō showing Shunkan the letter written by Shunkan's daughter. Shunkan is drawn as he is described in the text; living in exile, greatly disheveled, and somewhat crazed. After Shunkan's death, Ariō cremated Shunkan, and took the bones to Mt. Kōya.
