Miroto

Hiruma Miroto was a bushi of the Crab Clan who became the ronin Miroto, founder of the Forest-Killers.

Ronin
Miroto was stripped of his name for the embarrassment he brought upon his clan during a certain meeting with the Lion. Exiled, Miroto eventually made a home in the Shinomen Forest.

Bandit
Miroto founded the Forest-Killers, a juzimai with a moderately successful bandit troop, ruling their part of the Shinomen, and they repeatedly raided nearby villages. The group constructed a makeshift fortress in the woods, the Leaves of the Tree Dojo, where they trained.

Death
The man known as Yugoro murdered Miroto, taking control of the Forest-Killers and made them one of his many subordinate ronin bands, the Yugoro's Hordes.
