Hida Saburo

Hida Saburo was the Lord of the Castle of Axe, near the Shadowlands. In 1126 the fortress was assaulted and set ablaze by Zenkai no Oni. The demon killed Osuno and impersonated him, to seize one of the lost scrolls of Kuni Mokuna by deception. The oni was murdered by Hiruma Eikihiro, an orphan protégé of Saburo.
