Tarou & Jirou

Tarou & Jirou (太郎と次郎): Twin ninjas who served Tsuruhime's father and played with Tsuruhime as a young girl. They accompanied Tsuruhime's father to stop Daimaou years ago, but they were captured. Tsuruhime's father had to exchange his life to serve Daimaou in order to spare their lives. In response, the two of them were turned into dogs, posing as pets to Bun at their master's mansion. The two eventually returned the favor by sacrificing themselves to free Hakamenrou.
