Hiruma Kogoe

Hiruma Kogoe was a scout of the Crab Clan. He was under the command of Kaiu Shuichi, who had been tasked to fell timber from the dreaded Shinomen Mori. Kogoe was in charge to scout the vicinity constantly, while the ashigaru were cutting trees. He did not notice the presence of the fabled Naga, who eventually appeared in the forest.
