Chample

Chample (チャンプル, Chanpuru), is the lone friend and companion of Mina Majikina in Samurai Shodown V. It has been voiced by Hitomi Nabatame and Rie Kugimiya. Sometimes he is simply called shisa (シーザー, shi~sa~), erroneously localized as "Caeser" in English.

Story
Chample is a shisa who is found alone in the ruins of Mina's destroyed village. Thinking it to be a harmless beast, she takes it along with her. However, in her ending, Chample reverts back to its true form and Mina senses its energy to be akin to the one responsible for the village attack. Mina prepares to kill it and promises to follow it soon afterward.

Personality
Seemingly cute and innocent, it is a rather harmless being until provoked. It is quite fond of Mina and will cry if she loses.

Powers

 * Transformation - Chample can change into its true demon form.

Fighting Style
As Mina's companion it serves more as a mascot, following her around in the background emitting cute noises. In its demon form, it can charge and cleave its foes with ease.
