Matsuba is a tengu and the respected retired master who leads his clan on Mount Shumon. He is a prominent figure from the Western Land, one of the Eight Leaves.
As the reclusive elder, Matsuba holds significant authority over the tengu.
He is responsible for uniting and managing all the members of his clan on Mount Shumon.
He can be quite domineering, often acting like a patriarchal head of the household.
Matsuba is also known for his fiery temper and is very quick to get hot-headed.
Hatori
His short fuse is most evident in his interactions with Hatori.
The two frequently get into massive and explosive arguments with each other.
Aoi Tsubaki
Matsuba has taken a great liking to Aoi and absolutely adores her.
He dotes on her constantly, revealing a much softer side of his personality.
Shirou Tsubaki
He has a past connection with Aoi's grandfather, Shirou.
Shirou once saved Matsuba's life when he was drowning in a river.
As a token of gratitude for being saved, Shirou asked Matsuba for a tengu fan.
However, Shirou passed away before he could receive it, so the promise was inherited by Aoi.
Matsuba is the one who came up with the name for Aoi's eatery, "Yugao."
He named it that simply because the shop opens for business in the evening.
