Biography:

During the Warring States Era Toshitada was a wild warrior from a small domain. Like all samurai, his aim was to unify Japan. The Toshitada clan fought day and night, however his ambitions still seemed so distant. They were barely able to protect their land with the numbers that they had. It seemed impossible to conquer another clan’s land and gain power. Toshitada grew irritated and impatient, and it was that spirit that drew Talpa/Arago’s attention to Toshitada. Talpa/Arago promised him great power, power that would not only allow him to become ruler of all Japan, but king of all humanity. And so Toshitada abandoned his clan, his land, left his past behind him, and became a Dark Warlord/Mashou.

Then after both Toshitada’s body and spirit turned evil, Kaos appeared and saved him. Kaos told Toshitada to open his heart and his spirit to the virtue of the armor. That indeed opened Toshitada’s spirit and freed him from the power of Talpa/Arago. He then remembered his past and regained his human spirit.

(From episode 30.)
