No longer the young man he once was Hasame left the Unicorn Clan to serve the Lion Clan as a ronin. With the destruction of the Akodo family line, Hasame has lost gis position within the Lion Clan. He was dismissed by the Matsu family. Hasame travled east to the island of Silk and Spice. The Mantis Clan bushi he worked beside despised him reguarding him as a fallen samurai of the clans. He served as a yojimbo to a wealty Matis merchant for months. Only one the the Mantis he would call a friend, the bushi Arashi.

Hasame awoke on day to find Arashi over him with a kama raised for the killing strike. The fight was quick but bloody. Arashi layed dead, his throat torn out by his own kama. Hasame recieved a grievous wound on his arm. He believed the his former friend had been a kolat.

He left the islands and joined Toturi's Army furthering his search for kolats. (Wolf p. 70)
