About: Ippei, a samurai who used to play in the Beta version. In their first meeting, Ippei is wearing a loose white yukata. He later changes to a standard red and black Shinshioka armor set. Ippei's and Seiki's first quest together was the escort mission against the Demonic Clan from the Shogun's palace.

Ippei is a self-proclaimed war player and says he only plays the game for the War Games. War Games are PVE events out the West Gate. Ippei is very well-versed in War Games, for which his skills are shown in his planning and organization of troops near the end of book two.

In the Beta version, Ippei played together with his friend Ryuta, a ronin. But since Ryuta no longer plays it seems he is looking for a new ronin to partner with.

Ippei carries his Hikari, and a Jade Steel dagger. He and Seiki often help out with Kentaro's charms shop in the Kakigouri place, either together or in turns, in exchange of free armor repairs. He also has a European-style Pocket Watch [Limited Edition Gift] which tells the time in the real world. The watch is an “Incentive for the first two hundred Beta users who signed up for the Live Version.

In book two, Ippei reveals that he works the field of data analytics in real life.
