Yoshitaka Igasaki

Yoshitaka Igasaki (伊賀崎 好天) is the Last Ninja (ラストニンジャ) and the grandfather of the core five Ninningers, and also the father of Tsumuji Igasaki.

Character History
Yoshitaka Igasaki, The Last Ninja, was the Igasaki that fought against the revived form of Gengetsu Kibaoni, who had returned as a Youkai following his fall and defeat in the Sengoku era. During the climax of their fight, Yoshitaka used 48 Sealing Shuriken to seal Gengetsu Kibaoni and his army.

In the present day, it was believed that Yoshitaka had died, but in reality, he was just hiding, returning to assist his grandchildren in their fight against Youkai Kamaitachi and the rest of the Kibaoni forces. To do so, he gives the Ninningers their Otomo Nin Shuriken to fight fairly with the enlarged Youkai. He then fully appears to the Ninningers after Takaharu talked about assuming his mantle, revealing to them that he was still alive and well, and fairly disgruntled about the assumption of his passing.

As a result of his age, Yoshitaka cannot fight the Kibaoni Army Corps like he used to, and has to wait for his grandchildren to surpass him as a ninja to become the next Last Ninja.

Later on, it would be revealed that he knows of the existence of the Shuriken of the End which supposedly able to fully eliminate Gengetsu Kibaoni. But he never used it and choose to seal Kibaoni instead, under unknown reasons.
