O-Yakata

was the lord of the castle which was responsible for the execution of the Shichinintai prior to their resurrection by Naraku. The lord of the castle kept Bankotsu's halberd, Banryū, as a trophy of his victory over the mercenary squad. When the band of seven returned to take revenge on him and his castle, Bankotsu came to take back his weapon. After Bankotsu kills his guards and picks up Banryū, O-Yakata remarks that it took three strong men to carry the halberd in, but Bankotsu could lift the weapon with one arm.



Frightened of being killed, the lord asks Bankotsu if he will recommence serving him as a mercenary, regardless of the fact that he's a spector. Bankotsu declines the offer with a sigh and cuts off the lord's head, getting his revenge for his being beheaded fifteen years ago.
