Kamatari is a member of the Juppongatana and harbors deep feelings for Makoto Shishio. His weapon of choice is an enormous scythe equipped with a ball and chain, making it an exceptionally heavy weapon. Despite his feminine appearance, Kamatari is actually male. He is loyal and high-spirited but often feels inferior to others in Shishio's ranks. He fights to compensate for not being as skilled as Soujiro, lacking the intelligence and manipulative prowess of Hoji, Shishio’s tactical adviser, and not possessing the beauty of Yumi, Shishio’s lover.
Kamatari faces defeat at Aoi-Ya when he battles Kaoru and Misao. According to Cho, after Shishio's downfall, Kamatari becomes a spy working for the Japanese government.
