Hida Toyotomi

Hida Toshiro was the owner of the Nandan tea plantations. He had an acclaimed son, Hida Toshiro, veteran of the northern campaign against the Shinjo, who was betrothed to Hida Chizuko. In the couple's wedding she disappeared kidnapped by Ryokaku no Oni, the Demon of Marriage. She was rescued by Hida Yasunori, a bushi who had passed his gempukku alongside Chizuko, and claimed her hand. Chizuko refused to marry her betrothed Toshiro because he had given up the rescue party, afraid of the dangers in the Shadowlands.
