Shabadaba



Shabadaba (シャバダバ, Shabadaba) was the former minister and self-proclaimed king of Land of the Moon.

Background
Shabadaba served as a minister and apparent friend of the king of Land of the Moon, Kakeru Tsuki. Unlike the king's noble visions, however, Shabadaba only desired wealth and power. Kakeru saw through the minister's desire to take the throne for himself, but was hoping that Shabadaba would see the error of his ways and understand the more noble visions. As time went on, however, Shabadaba continued down the path to anarchy, and eventually Kakeru, taking advice of his soldiers, decided to deal with Shabadaba; that, along with hearing that Kakeru was planning to use the country's wealth to assist the poor, as well as decreasing taxes, Shabadaba betrayed his friend and hired Ishidate, Kongō, and Karenbana, to assassinate Kakeru and his bloodline Michiru and Hikaru Tsuki so that Shabadaba could inherit the title of "king".
