Chiba

Spoiler Alert: This page contains spoilers. Read at your own risk.

The Chiba (千葉, lit. thousand leaves) Family is one of the Hundred Families, bearing the number Thousand (千) in their name. Their nickname is "Magic Swordsman" and they are an authority in close combat magic.

Background

The Chiba Family was renowned for using personal Speed and Weight Magic in close quarters combat. The Chiba Family's strength lay not in the fact they could adeptly use spells, but in a new system they pioneered for the training and development of close combat Magicians.

The Chiba and Isori families have close relations with one another due in part to the engravement spells the Isori engrave onto the CAD for the Chiba, where as the Yoshida family also have close relations with the Chiba family.

Chiba

Residence

The Main House dojo is near the ocean between Tokyo and Kawasaki.

Area of Influence

Sakuradamon is within the Chiba Family's territory of jurisdiction. When Toshikazu is investigating the Vampire murders, his jurisdiction (then) is within Kasumeseki as part of Police Department.

The Chiba Family can mobilize the police force without evidence in a situation where they would normally need approval from the judicial branch. They are also able to freely enter a National Defense Forces base without possibility of arrest or detainment and are able to refuse confessing their actions in doing so.

All Special Magical Assault Team units have a connection to the Chiba Family.

Chiba Style

Presently, of the Magicians serving as policemen or infantry in the military, it was rumored that half of them were directly trained under the Chiba Family's system. This was the case for the navy and air force as well. Any unit that could encounter close combat situations often petitioned the Chiba Family for training. If solely dependent on connections within active duty troops, the Chiba Family's influence may eclipse that of the Ten Master Clans.

Their making of close combat weapons is their main source of income. The weapons they make are incomparably strong, like the Ikazuchimaru, which was the pinnacle of sword-type armament forged by the Chiba Family, the secret weapon that was the source of their pride.
