During the war between the Millefiore and Vongola, Genkishi was sent to [[Namimori]] in order to protect [[Shoichi Irie]] at his [[Melone Base]]. During the Vongola's invasion of the base Genkishi was positioned to intercept [[Lal Mirch]] and [[Takeshi Yamamoto]], who he swiftly defeated. However before he could kill them he was interrupted by [[Kyoya Hibari]]. Genkishi came inches from killing him in battle but Hibari was at that moment switched with his past self and joined with the rest of the Vongola. After being separated from them, Genkishi fought [[Tsunayoshi Sawada]] and unleashed the power of his Hell Ring. However he held back, as Tsuna reminded him of Yuni, and escaped after his defeat.

Genkishi was an A rank Millefiore subordinate known as Byakurans right hand man and the strongest soldier before the appearance of the Six Funeral Wreaths. This strength coupled with his powerful illusions earned him the nickname The Phantom Knight, leading, even other Millefiore Captains such as Gamma, to fear him. He was fiercely loyal to Byakuran, referring to him as a God and as such blindly followed all his orders, even going as far as betraying his former family. The only time he showed hesitation was when Yuni was around or when he was reminded of her. Though mostly calm while fighting, Genkishi lost all control whenever he used the Ossa Impressione Hell Ring and began ranting. Tsunayoshi Sawada even commented that his stoic self was more fearsome despite having less power.
History
Before joining the Mafia, Genkishi was a Swordsman unfortunate to receive an incurable disease while travelling. While in treatment he was visited by Byakuran who cured him using his knowlege of parallel worlds. In response Genkishi came to know him as a god. Genkishi later joined the Giglio Nero Famiglia and acted as a spy for Byakuran during the war against the Gesso Famiglia. A cease fire was agreed, if Genkishi would defeat a powerful Swordsman for the Gesso. However Genkishi used illusions to fake his defeat so that he could kill the remaining Giglio Nero and steal their Mare Rings when their guard were down. However their leader Yuni saw through this and held him back. But in order to stop the bloodshed, Yuni agreed to the union of the two families.

Genkishi dying from the Bellflowers
After the Vongola deployed flame decoys the Millefiore decided to destroy each one in order to find the real target. Genkishi then encountered Yamamoto and, after Genkishi revealed his true identity, the two fought for a second time. However even after using his Hell Ring, Genkishi was defeated by Yamamoto's Cambio Forma. Kikyo (on orders from Byakuran) then released a number of Bellflowers into Genkishi's Armour that began killing him from within. Genkishi then died, still adamant that Byakuran would save him.
Weapons
Ossa Impressione Hell Ring: Uses his Hell Ring to summon forth the Phantom Knight armor.

used as projectiles and explode on impact.
Illusion Sword: The Illusion Sword is used by Genkishi. It is Genkishi's most powerful sword and the strongest Mist-type Sword. The Sword is able to instantly construct multiple copies of itself and attack simultaneously. It is also able to create projectile Mist Flames that are able to slash their target.
Armatura: It is in the same league as the Illusion Sword, covering the user in armor similar to a Medieval Knight, and amplifies the user's Illusions. When combined with the power of the Hell Ring, the user takes the form of a skull-faced Knight with no limbs connecting the seemingly floating armor. According to Genkishi, the true power of the Ring is an Illusion of skeletons expelled from the skull Knight's mouth. These skeletons take the appearance of the enemy's loved ones and attack him, in an attempt to break down the user's mind or keep him from moving. Genkishi claims that the Illusions are tied to the lives of their real counterparts. However, the Illusions are susceptible to attacks like the Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition, since they are made of Mist Flames.
