'''Shichigoro''' is the possessor of the [[Number Two Headband|Number Two headband]] and a very skilled swordsman. He has a son named [[Kotaro]].
Shichigoro gained the Number Two Headband when Kotaro's father was killed/died, Kotaro's Father's last words were No more, no more killing, Kotaro's father was a friend of Shichigoro an old battle buddy apparently and so Shichigoro took the Headband in hopes of hiding it as Sword Master and Afro's Father had wished.

==History==
He meets Afro after Afro Saves Kotaro from a kidnapper who wanted to use him as leverage to get the Number Two Headband from Shichigoro and to thank Afro treats him to a meal. After the meal Shichigoro reveals he knows who Afro is and that he knows why he came (The Headband) he ask's the shopkeeper/barman to watch Kotaro and goes outside to duel Afro. Shichigoro states he won't give Afro the Headband and he must be killed for it but not because he was playing by the Headband rules but for his Friend and his adopted son and to kill Afro and states that he thinks he is the man to kill Afro.

Much like [[Afro|Afro's]] swordmaster, Shichigoro believes that by hiding the headband he would stop all the killings, but once he meets Afro, he accepts his challenge because he desires to personally kill him for all that Afro did in the past. Shichigoro is eventually killed by Afro, who takes the Number Two headband from him after his death. It is worth noting that Afro didn't really want to kill Shichigoro due to the latter having a background similar to Afro and his father at the beginning of the series. This is manifested through Afro at first confronting him in a formal manner, displaying respect he rarely shows enemies.

During Afro & Shichigoro's duel their battle spills out onto the streets and inside parade decorations before Shichigoro pulls out a chain and fights with that as well he shows great skill in this method but returns to his Sword again.

*Kotaro and Shichigoro seems to be based on ''[[wikipedia:Lone Wolf and Cub|Lone Wolf and Cub]]''.
 
Afro fights the duel honorably and is reluctant to kill Shichigoro since that would orphan Kotaro and he knows what it is to lose a Father (having lost his own father and his Sword Master who was like a father) and doesnt want to become like Justice but is finally forced to realize he must do this or forget pursuing Sio and so he kills Shichigoro at the very moment Kotaro comes out of the Shop a scene reminiscent of what happened to Afro when his father was killed by Justice and takes the Headband in essence mimicking the very act which made him what he is.
 
 
[[Kotaro]] afterwards begin's following Afro hoping to Avenge Shichigoro's Death.
 
 
 
 
== Skills and Abilities ==
 
Shichigoro is a strong warrior able to make massive leaps and duel with Afro on a similar level to Afro.
 
 
He is able to duel wield a chain weapon and a Sword at the same time and has a great deal of skill and control with both weapons.

History[]

Afro Samurai: Resurrection[]

Much like Afro's swordmaster, Shichigoro believes that by hiding the headband he would stop all the killings, but once he meets Afro, he accepts his challenge because he desires to personally kill him for all that Afro did in the past. Shichigoro is eventually killed by Afro, who takes the Number Two headband from him after his death. It is worth noting that Afro didn't really want to kill Shichigoro due to the latter having a background similar to Afro and his father at the beginning of the series. This is manifested through Afro at first confronting him in a formal manner, displaying respect he rarely shows enemies. Shichigoro battles Afro to a standstill, proving to be his equal at the very least. Motivated by his sole purpose to save his father, Afro resorts to deception by pushing the DJ that had appeared earlier towards Shichigoro as he came around a corner and subsequently stabbing through the DJ and into Shichigoro's heart.

He is voiced by Liam O'Brien.
