History

When Shinobu abandoned the Oniwabanshu rather than serve Kurozumi Orochi over twenty years ago, Shinosuke resolved to guard her and entered the Kouzuki Family's service at her side. Two days before the planned raid on the Beasts Pirates, his stealth let him slip into the Flower Capital and observe the allies held in Rasetsu Town, after which he reported to Kin'emon by Tanishi that there was no feasible way to free the prisoners ahead of the assault.
