He is from the Shiranui clan who has the blood of demons. He is considered the strongest warrior in his clan. He's also considered very handsome by his clan members as well. He believes that he should be the ruler of all demons and goes out to kill Amakusa. During his travels, he was killed by an unknown female ninja (very high chance this is Ayame). A year later, his soul was brought back by Mizuki. He was told that if he works for her, she would give him a second life. Although Gen-An agreed, he planned to kill her any chance he got and take her place. He is rumored to be Mai Shiranui's ancestor.

SNK's answer to Blanka perhaps? Gen-an's rolling special move alone is very similar to Blanka's, not to mention the greenness.... Hehe. I actually think Gen-an's rolling special move is cooler than Blanka's, since his huge claw is involved. Gen-an has quite a badass and unique weapon, I might add. In any case, Gen-an is an original design and made a solid "freak" design for the early Samurai Shodown series. He's yet another character in the Samurai Shodown series that's vividly brought to life by his awesome voice actor (Eiji Yano). Out of all the unique aspects of Gen-an, I think his voice is probably the most memorable. I also really like the way his claw rattles during gameplay... so intimidating and cool-sounding. XD
