OVERSEERS OF THE FESTIVAL: Once every thousand years, a convergence of mystical forces brings about the Kagura Millennium Festival, whose Overseers take on the task of laying departed shinobi's souls to rest. This millennium, Hanzō's wife Sayuri has taken charge of the Festival, bringing together three shrine maidens and a particularly radiant soul to assist in the proceedings. Unbeknownst to all but her, the Festival is more than it appears to be. Deeper secrets lie beneath its lights and litanies, and if the up-and-coming shinobi students can prove they're ready to learn, those secrets just might change their fates – and the fates of many, many others…

Hanabi is one of the three Mikagura Sisters, special shrine maidens who assist in directing the spiritual energies of the Kagura Millennium Festival. She is open-hearted and friendly, but unfortunately also a bit on the slow side – in fact, if she thinks too hard, her head almost literally explodes in a huge fireworks display. For that reason, she tries to let her sisters, Renka and Kafuru, do the thinking for her. Her weapon of choice is a huge mallet.
