Tsurui Zumi

The Tsurai Zumi are the Tattooed Monks of the Hoshi family. After the death of his father and the near destruction of the Togashi family, Hoshi escaped the madness of Hitomi and joined the Brotherhood of Shinsei. He would begin tattooing monks in the same way his father had done, and eventually lead them in an attack against Kyuden Hitomi in 1131. After Hitomi ascended to become Lady Moon, Hoshi became the Dragon Clan Champion. He would continue to occassionally tattoo men and women until his ascension to become the Celestial Wanderer. The Hoshi are now most commonly found on quests for justice throughout the land, and often aid the Mirumoto in dealing with bandits or enforcing the law. (3E p. 127)
