Characters
Kitamakura is one of the four emperors guarding the prison Riki-Oh starts the series in, being in charge of the east block. He is first seen when the prisoners attempt to attack Sugiyama after the death of Narumi. This prompts the other three emperors to show up, with Kitamakura bursting through the wall behind Sugiyama to grab one of the prisoners rebelling against him and crushing his head with a single hand. He and the other emperors are easily able to scare off the prisoners and silence the riot.
Bandou is a massive glutton who has managed to eat an entire horse's head. He seems to constantly have food on the brain, as when fighting Riki-Oh he says he will turn him into a hamburger. Iwata cuts a deal for him to fight Riki-Oh, as if he kills him he will be given all the food he could ever want within the prison.

Narumi is one of the four emperors who watches over the prison that Riki-Oh starts the series in, being in charge of the north block. He is always seen without his shirt on, and is largely defined by the incredibly tacky tattoo on his back of Kintarō wrestling a giant carp.
