Akodo Tsunetomo

Akodo Tsunetomo was a bushi of the Lion Clan who developed the first turtle-shell wagon.

Creation
Inspired during a visit to the Mantis Islands, Tsunetomo came up with the kikkosha as a turtle's shell, protecting those inside from harm while they moved about the battlefield. With the aid of a Kaiu cousin, they created the first unit which was shown at both the Kaiu Engineering Academy and the Castle of the Swift Sword Dojo.
