First time I played the game I spent like five minutes leveling Khimari, and beat his solo fight on the second try. It'll probably take a lot less than that if you stop by GameFAQs. . .

They have a lot of interesting stuff there about the game, come to think of it. Formulas for Yojimbo that no mere mortal could figure out and such. (When he asks, tell him you need him to defeat the greatest enemies. Then fight with him a lot and never let him die to build the loyalty meter the game doesn't give you any clue exists. Not that you want to actually use him to breeze through the game or anything, that's so unsporting, it's much more fun to put in a thousand man-hours to level up your guys right? But it's fun to have the option. Oh and the money you pay him counts in binary numbers, so make it 1024 gil to get twice the effect of 1023 and so on.)
