Ikoma Masote
It was the Ikoma Omoidasu Ikoma Masote who discovered the Shakuhachi. He was chronicling the War of the Rich Frog diligently, but secretly becoming disillusioned with the horrors of war. Seeking some means to ease the suffering around him he came upon the Shakuhachi. When in the Lion encampment eased the troubles on many Lion samurai's minds when he played the Shakuhachi. The following days Masote was in high demand, playing in Lion camps throughout the battlefield. When playing the Shakuhachi for samurai right before a battle the negative side effects of the Shakuhachi became apparent.

Appearance
The Shakuhachi is a flute.

Power
The Shakuhachi's effect is soothing, resting the weary minds of those who listen, but also makes them so calmed that they would find it difficult to rouse for combat.
