Hotsuma was conceived by prominent Sega employee Noriyoshi Ohba. His conception came as a result of a desire to create a "darker hero" and tone for Shinobi. He was given a bright red scarf so that the player could easily locate him—it was perceived that his fast movements made the game confusing—and to contrast with his back, which is all that is visible of him during the majority of the game. Producer Takashi Uriu aimed for the scarf to make Hotsuma recognizable by silhouette, as are iconic comic book characters Spawn and Batman. Due to the 3D rendering of Shinobi, developer Overworks decided to grant Hotsuma the ability to run on walls. His usage of ninja magic was a recurring feature in the series, implemented as part of a desire to mix older and newer gameplay elements. However, his "stealth dash" move was a new addition consistent with the overall fast-paced nature of the game. The move hatched from Uriu's knowledge of real life ninja's ability to "divide themselves into different bodies. Hotsuma is voiced by Jordan Rosa in English and Daisuke Kishio in Japanese. Hotsuma is the owner of Akujiki, a sword that feeds on souls and is his weapon. Akujiki will begin feeding on Hotsuma's soul if he does not kill enemies efficiently enough, creating urgency in the hack and slash gameplay. However, killing several enemies quickly allows him to perform a powerful and exaggeratedly violent "TATE" attack. Hotsuma can also throw shurikens. Hotsuma is one of three humanoid servants summoned by the warped antagonist Yugi in Tenchi in Tokyo. He is dressed as a scientist and has long blond hair. In the series, he tries to get the attention of Ryoko, to the point it could be said that he had a crush on her.
