Horiuchi Senzhi

Horiuchi Senzhi was a shugenja of the Unicorn Clan. He was the sensei of Horiuchi Wakiza, a gifted shugenja who had been orphaned when infant. Senzhi learned her father had wronged another shugenja before Wakiza was born, and she had been cursed. Any achievement in the young woman's life would be countered by another, less fortunate incident. When Wakiza was to travel to the Topaz Championship in 1167, Senzhi was trampled to death when an unbroken horse slipped free from its bonds.
