A famous samurai of the Fuu Sekisai Ryu (literally, "Wind Strike") Dojo, he is introduced at the beginning of Episode 10, chewing on a blade of grass. He is approached by Shoryu by the riverside on his way home and challenged to a duel. Tajima remarks, confidently, that he "could use a little after-dinner exercise," and charges Shōryū. Shōryū parries his attack with a wave of ki channeled through his sword. At first, Tajima is puzzled as to why Shōryū is no longer attacking. A moment later, blood bursts out of his eyes, with his face clenching up, and falls into the river, dead. His body is later discovered by an elderly villager who remarks at the peculiar way he died.
