Ishaku

Ishaku is a very old Poncle who is also the chief of Ponc'tan and Issun's Grandfather. He was the sixth Celestial Envoy and travelled with Shiranui 100 years ago, because of this we can tell that he is old. As well as spreading the word of the Gods to the regular people he wrote Travel Guides which Amaterasu can find on her journeys.

It was his job to teach Issun how to be a proper Celestial Envoy, however he was too harsh a teacher and not very understanding. Issun did not like all the new responsibilities he had and how hard his grandfather was pushing him so he ran off. This has left him with a negative opinion of Issun and he won't even acknowledge his existence when Amaterasu first meets him, however near the end he realises what a great job Issun is doing without his help.
