was a tortoise demon who worked under Hoshiyomi to recover the Naginata of Kenkon. He tricked Kagome by creating puppets identical Kagome's friends, Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka. Genbu and the other ninjas were killed by Miroku's kazaana. When he first appeared, he called himself Genbu of the darkness.

Physical description
Genbu was bald and had green skin, pupil-less yellow eyes, slits for a nose, and elf-like ears.

Before his transformation, Genbu wore a purple checkered layer under his black shinobi shōzoku, usually without the mask. After his transformation, a giant turtle shell replaced his clothes. He also appeared to be the tallest and of the more muscular of the demon ninjas.
