Yoritomo Hoshu

Hoshu was a ronin who joined the Mantis Clan as Yoritomo Hoshu, becoming the Jiujutsu sensei of the Room of the One Thousand Fall at Dojo Raiden.

Ronin
Hoshu was a ronin, son of a geisha whose only inheritance was a crystal pendant an anonymous Ide gave to her mother. The trinket allowed him to survive the War Against Shadow, and during the War of Spirits he lived unnoticed.

Mantis Clan
Shortly after the War of Spirits ended, Hoshu moved to the Dojo Raiden, in a time when the sensei welcomed all walks of life. It took years before head sensei Yoritomo Chebotai began to accept him. In 1152 Hoshu became a tecahed at Dojo Raiden. In 1157 Chebotai stepped down and Hoshu became sensei of the dojo, joining the Yoritomo family. He taught Mantis children how to defend themselves in unarmed combat, and in exchange the clan fed, housed, and supported him.
