Samurai Drummer

Samurai Drummer (ドラムサムライ) is a character in Rhythm Tengoku, as well as the first character to appear in the Rhythm Heaven Series.

Story
Samurai Drummer is a samurai who devotes his life to drumming. Despite his appearance, his playing is really tight and technical. In the depths of the blazing pupils, the players' sense of rhythm is determined.

He appears when the player first turns on Rhythm Tengoku, greeting them before and after the Rhythm-kan Check. He can be seen on the screen when getting a Perfect. He also greets them at the beginning of Staff. The Bandleader, Marshal, Cam, and Miss Ribbon serve the same role in later games.

Samurai Drummer also hosts the Drum Lessons and is playable in Live, as part of the Drum Samurai's Band. He appears on the "CONGRATULATIONS!" screen after clearing a Stage in the arcade version of Rhythm Tengoku. He makes a cameo appearance in Rhythm Heaven Fever on the Extra Games icon, and in Rhythm Heaven Megamix as the 20th (and final) Mascot.

Trivia

 * Samurai Drummer is a caricature of Tsunku♂, who did not wish to appear in the game personally to avoid making it seem like the game is just a promotion for the celebrity, but still wanted to be present in it in some way.
