Spades, a ninja used by Shozaku and comes from Shozaku's past
Jin-Quar, a traitor to the Hidden Dragon Wing Village, and a cliché ninja that craves power and gets it in an underhanded way, he proclaims himself as Ryuukage
Clubs, a playing-card using ninja from Shozaku's past; is out to seek revenge on Shozaku for killing his King of Spades; Clubs' harem include the red-headed girls known as Diamonds and Hearts. His sign is the King of Clubs, and before that, the Jack of Clubs.
Hearts; a red-headed kunoichi from distant lands, like Shozaku and Clubs, her sign is the Ace of Hearts.
Diamonds, a red-headed kunoichi from distant lands, like Clubs, Hearts and Shozaku, her sign is the Queen of Diamonds. She excels at medical jutsu, and is possibly more powerful in knowledge than Kabuto
Ideas: In my head, when Kentarou met Shozaku some years back, he talked him out of a lot of things, let him know what was going on elsewhere in the world, and further talked him into getting his help. As part of that, Shozaku's locked away a lot of his power. Spades was part of what was locked up, but in certain moments, Shozaku's imprisoned-power can escape, such as when he was in the desert with Yukari.
I'd already loosely thought of various things for the other suits(and some numbers), and the royal suites, but those are all/mostly spirits/summons. In his past, Shozaku had been steadily growing in power. He, along with help from his summons and a few of his sub-ordinates, was good at keeping things under wraps but at the point where Kentarou had met him the villages were starting to notice that a lot of the illegal/bad things that happened had a connection. He doesn't look the same now as he did then though, which helps him not-get caught
The king of spades and his king were also starting to grow in power and move in on Shozakus territory and various businesses. Shozaku didn't appreciate that, and after several failed attempts at negotiation (which mostly consisted of threats and demands that they back the fuck off_), Shozaku killed the king of spades. It was within the next week that he met Kentarou, and within the week after that he just disappeared, leaving most of his old empire and changing his appearance and personality in general. So it might've just taken them a really long time to figure out where Shozaku was/the new person he is, whatever their motivations for finding him.
