This monster is the husband of Legendary Six Samurai - Mizuho, according to the Master Guide 3 card storylines.
This is also supported by the fact both cards' artworks feature one half of the symbol of the Six Samurai that complement each other.
Their effects are designed to work in conjunction with each other.
Each monster wears the same necklace, with the string of each corresponding to the color of their spouse's armor.
Shadow of the Six Samurai - Shien wears this monster's necklace, hinting at some connection after this monster became Spirit of the Six Samurai.

Even more ironic, 'Nai' can also mean a negative, so his name could be translated as 'Won't/Can't Die.'
