The Steadfast Crab
Hida Kisada - Crab Clan Daimyo - Also known as The Great Bear, Kisada has been the foundation of the Crab. He is a huge man well beyond his years but he still enjoys his time fighting on the Wall. He is confident that his son, Yakamo, will be a great leader one day with his brother, Sukune, as his advisor. Kisada, himself, takes much of his advise from Kuni Yori, leader of the Kuni family.
Hida Yakamo - First son of Hida Kisada (The Great Bear). Yakamo is following in his fathers footsteps. H is strong and dedicated to defeating the Shadowland's minions. Yakamo recently killed the brother of Mirimoto Hitomi, Daimyo of the Mirimoto Dragon Family, in what some believe was a dishonorable duel since Yakamo used a tetsubo (club). Hitomi swears vengence.
Hida Sukune, it seems, will always live in his brothers shadow...which he accepts. He is not as large and not a vicious but Sukune has a keen logical mind. His ability to temper his brother makes the pair an invaluable force.
Kuni Yori - Daimyo of the Kuni Family and advisor to Hida Kisada. Yori is a quiet cunning man. He offers his advise when appropriate. Many stories of lore surround his strange and dark experiments that few see in his private watchtower. He often requests the Hiruma scouts bring back living (and sometimes dead) specimens from the Shadowlands so he can continue his studies. Like many shugenga of the Kuni family, Yori likes his privacy.
Hida Amoro - Crab General and cousin of Hida Yakamo. Amoro is a terrifying man whose own troops would prefer not to get in his way. Amoro suffers from battle rage effects and has been known on more than one occasion to attack even his own men in the process of defeating his foes. For that reason, most of his troops are "The Damned". Lately, he has been under the direct supervision of Kuni Yori at the eastern Wall.
