| Kosuke Susumu, also known by his title "The Sleeping Slave", is the main antagonist of High Minded Castle. He was born into slavery during the Sengoku period of Japan, and from an early age was taught how to use a sword. His position within Date Masamune's army, was very low ranking one, for he any many others were simply used as fodder that would be sent out first to simply wear out the enemy for a bit. Whether they lived or died, was not of concern, for many of them weren't even expected to come back alive. Despite his ranking within the army, he is noted for his "Vastly inhuman strength."

| As his life of slavery continued, Kosuke understandably grew ever more hateful and bitter during his time. He and a few others attempted escape on a few occassions, which only ended with them being re-captured, brought back, and made an example of. However during the battle of Sekigahara his life changed forever.

| At the battle of Sekigahara, a man who was transparent, and resembled a wandering spirit was spotted, however little record of what occured at Sekigahara exist. What is known, is that Kosuke walked from the ashes of that battlefield, and during that time, and at some point during the battle crossed blades with a woman named Hoshiko.

| After Sekigahara Kosuke finally escaped those who enslaved him, and was able to finally go his own path. The woman whom he met at Sekigahara, walked with him, as they had a mutual respect for eachother, leading to a friendship. However, he noticed something extremely off about this woman, something otherworldly. first of all, her eye's didn't resemble that of a human at all, no her pupils were narrow and slit, resembling the predatory look of a snake. Apparently Hoshiko was called a "Demon Child" in her home village. When asked about her parents, she simply can't answer for she was adopted by a Buddhists monk at an age too young to remember. As they traveled Hoshiko would constantly be berated, with some people even attempting to murder her.

| They continued travelling together despite the constant conflict, with each of them having their own goal. Hoshiko sought to find out where she truly came from, and Kosuke sought to find any form of meaning in life, while also working to free the people that were still enslaved within his country. The two of them would constantly start riots against the shogunate and their ways, putting huge targets on their back. After having caused much damage to the Shogunate's image, and free'd many of their slaves, things slowly started to change, and turn for the worst.

| They both had a "paranormal" experience when they hid out with one of Hoshiko's childhood friends. This friend of Hoshiko's was named Mitsuki, and the two grew ever suspicious about her odd habits. First of all she seemed to never sleep, and pranced about the house during all hours of the night. Secondly the girl kept a locked door leading to some sort of cellar, and when questioned about it, she would avoid the subject all together. One night Hoshiko took a look for herself underneath the cellar door, and what she found shocked her. Dead bodies, various markings and writings in a language unknown to herself. When questioned about the room after having been witnessed, Mitsuki finally confessed that she had accidentally brought a curse upon herself. An unnamed spirit made contact with Mitsuki, and tricked her into drinking from a red river, claiming it would grant immortality. However when she did drink, she WAS granted immortality, however she also gained an unquenchable thirst for blood. Without blood Mitsuki would starve to death eventually.

| |
| Mitsuki was like this for apparently her entire childhood up until now. Her reasoning for trusting such a spirit, was that she wanted her and Hoshiko to be together forever. She loved her as more than a friend.
