Bayushi Hisa

Bayushi Hisa was the master sensei of the Honor's Lesson Dojo who attempted to quell the enormous ego of his student Soshi Tishi by setting him the task of preparing five unique kata for his gempukku ceremony. Much to Hisa's chargrin and silent pride Tishi performed exceptionally, and the five kata he created became a part of the basic curriculum at the dojo. As impressed with himself as he was, Tishi was still as shocked as the rest of the Scorpion Clan when Hisa, on his deathbed, named Tishi to be his successor. (Samurai p. 62)
