Hida Toshiro

Hida Toshiro was the acclaimed son of Hida Toyotomi, veteran of the northern campaign against the Shinjo, inheritor of the Nandan tea plantations.

Wedding
In 890 Toshiro was preparing to be married with Hida Chizuko, when an inky cloud descended upon her. Toshiro and the bushi HIda Yasunori saw Chizuko's body dissolved into smoke, and they pursued the cloud outside, within the Shadowlands. Without water or food Toshiro decided to return to the safety of the Kaiu Wall, but Yasunori did not follow him and endured in the chase.

Broken Betrothal
After her return Chizuko was found free of taint, and refused to marry Toshiro, who had given up her rescue. Yasunori claimed to Chizuko's father the right to be her husband.
