Ishida

Ishida "the Boulder" is an impenetrable bastion on the battlefield, protecting his partners both by drawing the enemy's ire and by dishing out huge amounts of damage. His headbutts, bear hugs, fearless charges, and swings of his gigantic nōdachi spell doom not just for human enemies, but also for yōkai and mechs. He's quick to start fights, especially under the influence of sake,  and quick to end them  — violently. However, despite his short fuse, he is also a warmhearted epicurean and loyal friend.
