Mitsumata

Mitsumata is a giant, double-headed snake that Bojji befriended as a small boy. Its life was saved by Queen Jiling, and it was later nursed back to full health by Bebin.

Appearance
Mitsumata is a giant, green, double-headed snake with a yellow belly, yellow eyes, and numerous scars. It is so large that it towers over most buildings.

It appears to have been born with three heads, but one head (the middle) was severed at some point. Most of its eyes are similarly destroyed, and it only has one remaining eye on one of its heads (the other being completely blind).

Personality
When first introduced Mitsumata was the size of an average snake and exhibited typical snake behavior, defensively biting anyone who attempted to touch it. It bit Bojji several times, even after its life was saved by Jiling's healing magic.

At some point after its meeting with Bojji Mitsumata was attacked by guardsmen again, and this time saved by Bebin, who nursed the snake back to health. Bebin seems to be the one who taught Mitsumata to speak, and generally trained and civilized it so it could remain in the Bosse Kingdom.

Now a mature, enormous snake, Mitsumata is completely loyal to Bebin (who it considers its master) and is good friends with Bojji.

Trivia
All of Bebin's snakes are descended from Mitsumata, which may account for their trainability and greater intelligence. Bebin uses these snakes as informants and enforcers for his spy network.

Mitsumata and its children appear to have trained Bojji in footwork and evasion.
