Image
Appears in

They are all known victims of the Demons.
Story
The two kids find The Wandering Samurai resting under a tree on the grounds of an old temple. Their mother asked them to offer a rice ball to the samurai, who graciously accepts it, and finds the taste similar to how his own mother used to make them. Later, their pinwheel gets stolen by Demons, and the samurai stumbles upon the kids in distress. In the name of justice, the samurai follows the demons to a cliff, where he proceeds to slice them all until getting the pinwheel back.
Depending on the Epilogue, the kids find the samurai beaten and show concern for him (Try Again), make jokes about him being "an OK samurai" (OK) or celebrate having their pinwheel returned and thank the kind samurai for his deeds (Superb).
Some time later, Bunny Man had bought a stuffed bunny for a little girl, which got stolen by Demons. The Wandering Samurai appeared to help, chasing them down in the city to retrieve the bunny.
In Super Samurai Slice, a villager was kidnapped by a large purple Demon, sending The Wandering Samurai on a journey to rescue her. Another large purple Demon, distinguished with its purple eyes, kidnaps four women, known collectively as The Ladies[3]. Because of this, the villagers rescued by The Wandering Samurai have made something of their own fan club around him, holding up banners with his face on it and celebrating their low-res hero.

Trivia
- The pinwheel carrying child was described as a boy in Rhythm Heaven Fever, and as a girl in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In all other languages, they are simply referred to as "the child". The other child who plays with them has only once had their gender mentioned in text, that being in the Picky Eaters' Song in Rhythm Heaven Fever. In Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, both of them are simply referred to as "two young kids".
- Like The Wandering Samurai, Rhythm World Wii and Rhythm Sesang: The Best Plus feature the children and villagers in traditional Korean clothing rather than Japanese.
