Tsuruchi Kagehisa

Kagehisa was a ronin who joined the Tsuruchi family as Tsuruchi Kagehisa and was granted his own family, the Kagehisa family.

Ronin
Since the time of Tsuruchi the winners of the Day of the Wasp tournament joined a rigorous course, and if they finished it, were granted to join the fledging Wasp Clan. Kagehisa had failed to end the train, but joined a larger group of ronin and mercenaries that the Wasp hired to guard Kyuden Ashinagabachi, the Wasp's Blade. In time he became the leader.

Seeking Tsuruchi
Tsuruchi disappeared after the end of the War Against Shadow, disheartening his followers. Kagehisa found Tsuruchi as a retired monk in the Temple of Kaze-no-Kami, gravely wounded and seeking only a life of privacy. Kagehisa returned a year after Tsuruchi had disappeared and told that the man called Tsuruchi was nowhere to be found in Rokugan.

Kagehisa Family
The Tsuruchi family was oficcially recognized by Toturi I in 1134. In reward for kept Tsuruchi's wherabouts secret, the new Tsuruchi Daimyo Tsuruchi Ichiro, granted Kagehisa his own vassal family, and the Wasp's Blade became the Kagehisa family. Kagehisa Mura was their ancestral holding.
