Ujiteru Hojo

Ujiteru Hōjō (, Hōjō Ujiteru) was Shishikado's older brother and the heir to the Hojo Bushi.

History
When Shishikado tried to wield a Kitetsuto for the first time, he accidentally hit Ujiteru with his white sword spirit, leaving him in a semi-decomposed state and bed-ridden. Their father kept this incident hidden from the public. Because of this Ujiteru couldn't take part in the war 15 years ago. In the end both Ujiteru and his father died, leaving Shishikado as the new heir of the Hojo Bushi.

Etymology

 * The name Ujiteru means "Mr., family name, surname, clan" (氏) (uji) and "brightness, radiance, shine, sparkle, gleam, twinkle" (輝) (teru).
