Hiruma Hotaru

Hiruma Hotaru was the Master sensei of the First Strike Dojo. Hotaru was a warrior of undeniable skill, but fell and brooding from the day that twenty of his students were slain by an oni because fear kept him from exercicing proper leadership in battle. He had always been reluctant to grant leave to students who wished to study for a time at the Grip of Earth Dojo because some who left never come back, becoming enamored of the wrestling techniques tought there.
