Shiden

Shiden (紫電, Shiden) is the former leader of the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan from the Dead or Alive series. He is the husband of Ayame, and together they both gave birth to Hayate and Kasumi.

Shiden is also the older brother of the rouge Runaway Shinobi Raidou, whom he banished from the Mugen Tenshin village.

When Raidou attacked the village to steal the Torn Sky Blast Ninpo, and grievously injured Hayate, Shiden was left bitter and refused to tell Kasumi what had happened to her brother and he ordered his daughter to take over for Hayate. Instead, she left the Village, seeking out the truth and revenge for Hayate.
