The Noble Members of the Lion Clan
Matsu Tsuko - Daimyo of the Lion Matsu Family - She is brash and holds much anger. Her brother, the former Daimyo of the Lion Clan, was killed and the position to lead was taken over by General Akodo Toturi, a descision she does not agree with. However, she swears complete loyalty to the Emporer.
Matsu Agetoki (The Butcher) - The ruthless Lion general. As a diplomatic measure, Agetoki is rarely used to his full purpose. In times of war, he is released. Agetoki is currently laying seige to the western lands of the Crane taking full advantage of the sick Hantei's lack of involvement. The Butcher has been released.
