Kendappa-Ou is called the Gakushi no Kimi, or Lord(Lady) of Instruments, she is an adept of the harp and is a court player at Taishaku-Ten's palace. She is one of the more mysterious of the characters. She serves Taishaku-Ten loyally though her father was killed by him in the Sei-Sen. "I like strength," says she. "And you are strong, Lord Taishaku-Ten." Though she is one of the Six Stars, she hasn't the motive to join them yet. Though she seems soft, she does very occasionally show an ice-cold sharpness that then disappears in a glimpse. Even Yasha-Oh, the strongest of the Bushinshohs, becomes a toy for her. (Yasha, being a simple man, can't understand the female complexity that is Kendappa-Oh) Kendappa-Oh's late mother died from the heart-wrenching dilemma of falling in love with young Yasha (when he was still called Yama) while being already married and even had a child about the same age as Yasha. Kendappa-Oh has gotten over the anger she once felt towards Yasha (it wasn't his fault that an elder lady found him too delicious to pass over), but the feeling of wanting to make Yasha squirm is still there. Thus something like the above happens from time to time. Kendappa-Ou admires strong people. Since her father's death during the Holy War, she has decided that Taishaku-ten was the strongest one in Tenkai, and that she would serve him loyally because of his strength and power. She respects Souma's decision on fighting against the emperor and doesn't want to stop her although she knows that Souma would not succeed in defeating Taishaku-ten.
