Oboro is an
unplayable boss character in Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage. He is the
main antagonist of Warriors Rage, and wields a cursed blade and a magic sword
controlled by various spirits created using the "Magical Arts of Kakkyo."
As Oboro has bonded with the demons possessing these weapons, they will both
feel pain should one or the other be injured despite proximity.
An elderly samurai,
Oboro is a part of the Razor Trio, along with Mikoto
and Kuki Tohma. Though he has a kind looking demeanor,
he was once a ninja that was revered as much as Hanzo
Hattori. He was forced to leave the clan after Hanzo defeats him in a
duel. Hateful during his alienation, he learns dark magic and gathers several
"cursed weapons". He devotes himself to the will of the earthly
Buddha Jigen Taishi (who "protects" Ritenkyo) and spends twenty
years plotting the government's downfall. During this time, he creates the
"Three Blades of Domination" (AKA the Razor Trio) and trains an army
of skilled Amazons.
He wants to assume the will of his benefactor and establish a new nation for
the martial deity. He also hopes to avenge his disgrace caused by Hanzo. Oboro
hates the shogunate and the current state of Japan. His smiles are a ruse for
his foes; only a blood-thirsty and sadistic man lies underneath.

I suppose he's
got the "tiny, elderly Japanese man" thing down pat. As the
"invisible" boss of the series (the player only fights against
floating swords), he was pretty forgettable. The contrast of his design is
interesting at least... at first glance, he seems like a mind mannered elder,
but he's actually a sadistic bastard. Heh. No doubt they could've done a lot
more with this design in the game.
