Jofuku

First appearing in episode 11, Jofuku is the master of "BAR New Jofuku," a middle-aged man with a beard. He is an old acquaintance of Kotaro Tatsumi. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he often mispronounces the name of the Franchouchou unit. He is very knowledgeable about hagakure and other matters, and his conversation with Kotaro Tatsumi in episode 11 suggests that he has lived for a long time and has some kind of connection with Yugiri. He also appears in the first episode of "Revenge," where he harshly advises a dejected, alcohol-soaked Kotaro Tatsumi, prompting him to recover. During the Saga Incident, it is hinted that his true identity is the very embodiment of Saga Prefecture itself. When Saga Prefecture was merged into Nagasaki Prefecture during the Meiji era, he was bedridden. He took in Kiichi, who had lost his father in the Saga Rebellion seven years ago, entrusted him with the mission to save Saga, and watched over him as he devoted himself to the Saga Restoration Movement.

In episode 10 of "Revenge," it is revealed that he has been fighting the "Curse of Saga" for thousands of years. Moreover, through fortune-telling, he predicts that an unprecedented crisis will strike Saga at the beginning of the Reiwa era.
