Samurai Drummer (ドラムサムライ?, Drum Samurai) 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 his blazing pupils, the players' sense of rhythm is determined[1].

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 as Samurai Drummer in later games.

Samurai Drummer also hosts the Drum Lesson and is playable in Live, as part of the Drum Samurai's Band[1]. 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 series producer Tsunku♂, created as the developers were worried that simply using Tsunku♂'s name would be meaningless, and that having him appear as himself would imply that his involvement with Rhythm Tengoku was merely that of supervisor. To avoid this, he appears in the game as Samurai Drummer to highlight his deep involvement with the game. Samurai Drummer's eyebrows are shaped like Tsunku♂'s own because of this[2].
