Line 97:
* Hibiki from ''[[Last Blade|The Last Blade]]'' series fights using this style, even though her disposition is warm and cheerful ([[Beware the Nice Ones|usually...]]).
** Moriya, from the same series, has a handful of special moves that require him to sheath his sword. While he's not a pure iaijutsu stylist, his character definitely fits the [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]] bill, complete with a Red Oni nemesis, so he deserves a spot on this list regardless.
* Ghi Yeghi, and to that extent all Parivirs, in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics a 2A2]]''.
** Takes the trope rather seriously in a sense, since the actual skill Parivirs can learn - which is aptly named the Iai Blow - is explained quite well in-game (specifically saying that the skill sheathes and draws the sword suddenly and quickly against the enemy), and has a chance to [[One-Hit Kill|instantly kill your target]], much in the same way a real-life practitioner of Iaijutsu would if done correctly.
* Vergil from ''[[Devil May Cry]]''. While he has occasional stints with other weapons, his stylish trademark is the katana named Yamato, which he fights with using iaijutsu exclusively.
