Ogigayatsu Hiiragi Danjo

"Now, Princess Half-Demon, let's waste no more time. You must tell us how you came here. I'm sure you must know. Tell us, what will happen to the Shogunate? What is the fate of our clan?"

- Ogigayatsu Hiiragi Danjo

 is a supporting character in Hanyō no Yashahime.

History
Ogigayatsu is the kanrei (deputy shogun) of the Kantō region, which in the present-day encompasses the capital of Tokyo and its seven surrounding prefectures, but during the Sengoku jidai includes the modern region's equivalent provinces.

Following the theft and recovery of the sword Kikujūmonji from the kanrei's estate, Ogigayatsu interrogates the presumed thief. His advisor — familiar with the travels of Inuyasha and his time-traveling companion — informs him that Towa has come from the Reiwa era, presenting as evidence such modern-day artifacts as one of Kagome's old bicycle seats and a schoolbook (carelessly brought to the past by Moroha).

Before he can obtain any further knowledge about events to come, Towa is freed by her companions. They also chase off Sōkyu, revealed to be the demon owl in disguise.

In Episode 30, Aiya abducts Setsuna to have the half-demon take her etiquette lessons in her stead while Kin'u talks Hisui into instructing the princess in her stead. Ogigayatsu discovers the switcheroo not long after Hisui leaves to save the princess from a demon near the sea, and punishes her for running away.

In Episode 41, the Yōkai taijiya have an audience with Ogigayatsu, who has learned that a demon named Kirinmaru intends to bring about the Degenerate Age. He bequeaths them the Kikujūmonji to slay the demon, which they in turn pass on to Towa once she and the other half-demon princesses return from the Reiwa era.

Physical Descriptions
He is a middle-aged man. He has a mustache and wears his hair in a samurai topknot.

Outfit

Trivia

 * Hiiragi Danjo, a shogunate adviser who governed the Kantō region, obviously comes from the Ogigayatsu clan. This matches up with real Japanese history: the Ogigayatsu were a Musashi-based branch of the Uesugi clan, a prominent samurai clan that often held the post of Kantō kanrei before the unification of Japan.
