Samurai Drummer

Samurai Drummer (ドラムサムライ^?, Drum Samurai) is a character and the host in Rhythm Tengoku, as well as the first character to appear in the series. He 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.^[1]. He appears when the player first turns the game on, greeting them before and after the Rhythm Test. He also greets them at the beginning of the Credits. 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^[1].
