Itto (TCG)

Damasu no Akodo Itto was a samurai of the Lion Clan who became the rōnin Itto after his family was slaughtered to a man.

Lion Clan
Itto was member of the Damashu family and lived in Kyotei Castle, their ancestral stronghold which was close to Toshi Ranbo. To shore up the Crane Clan's logistical lines to Toshi Ranbo (and to fuel his own ambition) Lord Tsume Retsu besieged the castle, eventually overcoming its defenses and slaughtering every member of the Damasu family.

Rōnin
Itto smuggled his daimyō's daughter out of the castle as a baby during Tsume Retsu's slaughter. A masterless rōnin, he kept watch over her until she came of age, when they revealed her true identity. She swore revenge against the Tsume family and began training in swordsmanship.
