Sword of Yotsu

Select group of true ronin who swear loyalty to the Yotsu family and take their name. They live in Otosan Uchi and serve Yotsu Urieko as their daimyo defending the province. They also follow the Yotsu familt on various quests.

Their band is the strongest and most respected ronin otokodate and possible the only ronin with any access to the Imperial Court. Members must prove themselves through tests of honor and courage. The memebrs must also fall on their knees and swear fealty upon the sword given to Yotsu family by Hantei the XXXVIII.

They serve as magistrates of the Yatoshin province and bodyguards for the Yotsu line. (Wolf p. 56)
