The Yagyuu Family (柳生一門, Yagyū Ichimon) is an aristocratic samurai family that has been serving the Bakufu and Shogunate for many generations. They're family of generals and military leaders. Their expansive family estate is evidence of their immense wealth and their political connections. All male heirs in the family tend to be short. As Amanto arrived, the practice of Kendo declined as a result of the sword ban in Edo, but some still go to the Yagyuu dojo to learn.

Trivia[]

  • The Yagyuu Family is based on the real Yagyū clan. They were a family of daimyō (feudal lords) with lands just outside Nara, who became the heads of one of Japan's greatest schools of swordsmanship, Yagyū Shinkage-ryū.
  • The names of the 4 Devas are spoof of 4 girls in Strawberry 100% (いちご100%, ichigo hyakku paasento):
  • Coincidentally, the seiyuu assigned to voice Yagyuu Kyuubei, Orikasa Fumiko, was seiyuu for the following 'Strawberry' related shows -
    • Strawberry Bread いちごパン in Kogepan こげぱん
