Shiba Jinzaburo

Shiba Jinzaburo was a magistrate of the Phoenix Clan.

Training
Jinzaburo was considered the worst student of the dojo by his sensei, who had got the appointment through political connections, not because he could teach.

Station
He was appointed as Road's End Village's magistrate. In 1170 the headman of the village, Aki, warned him of invaders and fire on sight. Jinzaburo ordered to evacuate the village and began to prepare for defence. He was visited by two Henshin monks, who advised him the yobanjin Army of Fire was arriving, and he would be the only opportunity the village had to survive. They advised to use Naginata against the invaders.

Death
The attack was another fight of the War of Dark Fire, and Jinzaburo killed the barbarians, saving Road's End, but at the cost of his life.
