Yugoro's Lair

Yugoro's Lair was the hideout of Yugoro, the bandit-Lord who plagued Rokugan with his Yugoro's Hordes during the Clan War. It was located on the northern side of the Spine of the World Mountains, close to the Lake of Sorrows to the east. A secret route near the base of the mountains opened into a cave where the gang stored their loot.

Shozai-gaki
When Yugoro died at the hands of a group of magistrates, a powerful gaki that had been observing the greedy ronin for years took advantage and opened a passage into Ningen-do from Gaki-do, the Realm of Hungry Ghosts. It lifted up Yugoro's body and feasted upon all but one of the remaining magistrates. The spirit had merged with bandit, becoming a shozai-gaki. Once there was no more food within the bandit hideout, the spirit was forced back into its own realm, but it had created a permanent tie to Yugoro's departed soul. In 1162 the gaki possessed an Emerald Magistrate, Ide Nominari, who was forced by Yugoro's will to gather the remnants of Yugoro's Horde.
