Kozo (I)

Kozo was a doshin of the village of Aian, in the Naishou Province. The headman Shidou, his wife, and his daughter all disappeared together. On the same night, a blacksmithy worker was murdered. The local samurai, Matsu Sukio, was too involved with her own concerns, so Kozo and his companion Mukitsu, supported a group of visiting samurai who had been sent to investigate the crimes.
