Genji Sarutobi (猿飛源氏, Sarutobi Genji) is the highest ranking political official within the Sarutobi Clan. Despite being subservient to the Hyūga Clan, Genji strongly believes himself to be a true candidate for both the title of Hamura (羽簇, Gathering of Feathers) and Emperor because of his unnatural white hair. Born a Sarutobi, Genji later changed his family name to Ihara to try and remove the label of "servant" from his being as much as possible. Still, for the best interest of his clan, he remains obedient in his dealings with their imperial masters. Genji's reputation as an honest and respectful leader have earned him praise among his people, having given him the title of Isagiyoi (潔い, Pure Man).
