His father died in battle when Toshitada was young. Shuten was a soldier of a small fief in the era of civil wars. He wished to control everything under the sky. That was when Arago found him and made him one of his Mashos.
Shuten is the youngest of the four but their leader because he is the most powerful. His ego (when he was evil) and his strength rival Shuu's. There isn't much camadarie among the Mashos and Shuten gets the most sneers for his failures. As time goes on, Shuten becomes bold enough to question Arago's orders and break them. He joins the Troopers before the end of the first story arc. His name is a little pun, it means Red-top Child.
Shuten's yoroi was called Oni, technically a representation of Spring. Its design is more similar to the Troopers than to the other Mashos. His kanji, 'CHU,' is loyalty. The destruction of his helmet symbolizes the end of evil's control over him. Shuten's weapon is a kusari-gama, a scythe connected to a clawed weight by a chain. This is actually a ninja's weapon.. When evil, his yoroi draws power from evil thoughts and absorbs excess energy. His attack is Ko Rai Sei, Red Lightning.
During the second story arc, he serves as the Troopers guide, following the will of Kaosu. He now possesses the shakujo and dresses as Kaosu did. His skill with the shakujo grows, but he often needs to meditate to learn what it is that Kaosu wishes him to do.
In order to free Kayura, Kaosu's last descendent, Shuten must don the Oni yoroi again. He gives the yoroi to Kayura before dying.

The Yami Masho has a brown and black yoroi in the shape of a wild dog, which is why he can control the wolves in the TV series. He can see easily in the dark and the darkness allows him to bring death by calling on a death frost. His yoroi was modeled after the Egyptian god, Anubis. On his back, he carries a no-dachi. His attack, "Koku Rou Ken Ankoku Cho Uhigiri", Black Wolf Sword Leaping Darkness, is a black web of energy emitted from his sword and surrounding his opponent. His Bushido virtue is "KO", filial piety, and his powers could be used to protect those who have fallen into the darkness.
This is only a rumor about his past. No hard evidence has yet to be found.
His real name by birth is believed to be Kujuurou Sasaki.
Anubis or rather Kujuurou Sasaki, was once a most noble Samuari warrior in the ancient days of feudal Japan.
During that time, he would fight for his lord with honor.
One day, however, Anubis's country was attacked. He fought as nobily as he possibly could've, but was defeated. By losing that fight, he was scarred for life. (In ancient Japan if a Samuari warrior lost in battle and lived, he would've either had to kill himself or have someone else kill him, so as to not bring disgrace to his lord/master or himself. Anubis had not killed himself, nor had he have anyone kill him.)
After returning to his lord, Anubis's lord, whom was truly unhappy by Anubis's inability to fight and win, had him tied up. Then his master took out a dagger and cut Anubis's face, creating the scar that's on his face now. After doing so, Anubis's ex-master and army left Anubis high up in the mountains to freeze to death.
Anubis was able to eventually free himself of his bonds by teh assistance of a she-wolf and he soon found shelter in a nearby cave.
From then on he swore revenge upon the lord that scarred him and left him to die.
After returning to his home under the cover of night and retrieving his weapons and armor, went to the north and began to recruit all kinds of bad individuals. After a certain amount of time, Anubis returned home once more.
He and his army attacked his former lord, but were defeated. Just as Anubis was about to be beheaded along came Arago. The demon saved Anubis and recruited him as one of the 4 Masho, promising him power and immortality.

Doku Masho is most easily the least sane of the four Mashos. He hates Shuten with a vengeance and spends half of the time fighting the Troopers either telling them how he's going to tear them apart or crapping about Shuten. There are myths in Japan of how certain demons, snakes among them, transform themselves into humans and mate. Any family with "snake blood" ancestry have different appearances like scaly skin and not-human eyes. Naaza uses multiple swords as his weapons. His armor is green and red in color. He can control all of his 6 swords at the same time while also projecting an image of him with six arms. He can also join all six swords together in what amounts to a razor-sharp whip. Thus, creating his 'special attack' Snake Fang Strike. Season he/his Armor Represents: Autumn.
Other Powers he has includes inflicting pain through induction of his poison in people, demolishing, or in this case dissolving, an entire area/building around him, quick healing and recovery from injuries, slight of hand, appearing that he is wielding all 6 swords at once, and, if reformed, his poison can be used to heal.
Family:
Not much is known about Naaza's past before Arago.
His real name is believed to be Yamanouchi Naotoki.
It has been suggested that Naaza, in his youth, was a very naive young boy, and a fisherman.
One day some pirates came to his home and took him. The captain of the pirate ship soon grew to like the odd looking child and taught Naaza his pirate way of life. The cruel pirate captain was quickly becoming disliked by his crew however. Naaza soon became very secretive. When he and the captain had become close friends, they landed on an island one day and Naaza and the captain left the ship. There Naaza abandoned the captain and took over the ship for himself. He became the new captain. After this Naaza and the crew sailed off for lands far off and looted and pillaged many villages and towns.
A couple years passed and the crew became unsatisfied once more with their captain. Naaza was obviously not getting any saner, and was becoming more and more like their cruel captain had once been. As they plotted to overthrow Naaza, and as they had reached the pique of their robberies and murders, Arago came and offered Naaza immortality, power, and more wealth than he could ever imagine. Naaza accepted and soon became Arago's Masho of Doku.

Gen Masho has the spider yoroi which is dark pink and brown. His main weapons are six scythes that he wears on his back. He can uses these scythes to create a spider web and as extending blades. On his arm guards there are also a morning star and nunchuka which he also uses. Rajura cast illusions to make his enemies attack each other and only comes in at the end to finish off the last standing person. His battle cry is "Tochimou", Spiderweb Cast, which emits thousands of sticky threads entangling his enemies. Rajura was the second Masho to become disaffected from Arago. His Bushido virtue is "NIN", endurance. Rajura could use his illusions to bring peace to troubled minds.
Rajura is the eldest of the Masho, and is perhaps the most cunning of them.
When Rajura first appears to face a foe, he is often hanging upside down in the middle of his energy web, or from the nearest tree. Chameleon-like, he can also fade "into" the landscape so his opponents don't see him. His powers of illusion are somehow tied into the fact that his left eye is sealed up by spider thread.
Past/Family:
Its believed that his real name by birth was Kuroda Jirougorou.
When Rajura was young he would preform many tricks and illusions, and was a pretty tactile and cunning thinker. He may have been an illusionist or a magician's assistant.
One day a shogun came across Rajura and saw how much potential he had.
This shogun knew that Rajura was meant for greater things. So, he accepted him, and the boy worked by his side. Over the years, Rajura and the shogun became close friends, and he even became the shogun's advisor. One day some of the shogun's enemies had recruited some assassins to kill him. They went to where the shogun lived and tried to take his life, but Rajura stopped them. He tried to make them leave, openly challenging them. They refused to leave and, being so angry with Rajura, insted of killing him, they removed his eye. Only after doing this, and realizing just what exactally Rajura had done, did they leave.
(The assassins knew that the shogun was probably far away by now and that they would not get the chance to kill him.)
Rajura continued to be the shogun's friend and closest advisor.
Over the years, Rajura continued to protect his friend, but the shogun soon became ill and Rajura soon came to like the feel of the shogun's power.
Late one night, Rajura snuck into the shogun's bedroom and killed him, taking all of the shogun's power and influence. Afterwards, Rajura went around and started to recruit evil people from all over the countryside to be in his army. Following this, they went around the countryside of ancient Japan, burning villages, murderering, looting, etc.
As Rajura became more and more greedy, he realized that, as impossible as it seemed, one day he would die. So he yearned for immortality. At just this time Arago came and offered Rajura what he wanted. Immortality more power than he already had and wealth. Rajura could not refuse such a sweet sounding deal and so joined Arago.
