A mysterious and seemingly cruel girl who appears to know more than she lets on, Hitei is Togame's archrival and constantly schemes to interfere with Togame's mission.
She's a descendant of Shikizaki Kiki, and possesses the last of the Twelve Deviant Blades, a pair of pistols called Entou Jyuu, which she entrusts to Emonzaemon. Just like her ancestor, Hitei's aim is the interference of the course of history, to avoid the destruction of Japan, a fate the Shikizaki family (actually a clan of oracles) had foreseen hundreds of year ago. After having her life spared by Shichika, she then cuts her hair short and follows Shichika's journey to make the map of Japan as Princess Yusha and fills the void of Togame's absence.
