Kuni Nakanu

Kuni Nakanu was a Crab Clan shugenja and Witch Hunter who studied and first named the Shadowlands Taint. Nakanu's journals described in detail the effects of the Taint on living and dead corpses as observed in his experiments with these corpses. While no date is given for Nakanu's life and death, he must have lived in years immediately after the First Day of Thunder. After his death at the hands of his own zombies, Nakanu's horde ran amok in Crab lands, earning him the hatred of his fellow Crab to this day, regardless of the value of his findings. His journal was recently discovered by a monastery in the Spine of the World, and given to Miya Shoin, who passed it to Moto Najmudin.
