Hiruma Maruku

Hiruma Maruku was the crab duellist who was originally betrothed to Shosuro Kachiko. When the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju saw Kachiko's beauty and married her himself, Maruku challenged Kachiko's father Shosuro Koshurin to a duel over the changing of the marital arrangements. A young Doji Hoturi stepped in and fought for her honor in the place of her father, cutting Maruku in two.
