Ichian Matsuba is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy XIV. He is the bugyo of Kugane, the most senior official in the local government.

History

With the permission of the bakufu, Ichian studied abroad in Radz-at-Han. Following his return, he served in a variety of important posts before finally being granted his position in Kugane. A master of multiple languages and an avid connoisseur of the arts, he regularly hosts Hingan dance performances at Kugane Castle. However, this is less a personal indulgence and more a means to entertain foreign dignitaries, and in so doing create opportunities to engage in "cultural exchange," much in the same way an Eorzean politician might organize a ball to bring together the influential elite.

When an insurgent faction of ronin, led by Kageyama Shiratama, laid siege to Kugane Castle, Ichian was one of several taken hostage. Although the Sekiseigumi hired foreign adventurers to resolve the situation, Ichian's position within the bakufu has been somewhat tenuous ever since.
