Talk:Moto Ogaru

Alter Ego
The illustration is an homage to a pair of professional L5R players, John Seals and Amanda Lau (later Mr. and Mrs. Seals,) known as Team Ogre-Panda. John Seals won the honor of naming this card when he added a win at the 2012 Name a Personality Tournament in Castro Valley, California playing Unicorn Clan.

The name Ogaru was derived from the word ogre and the panda in the art. The flavor text is just as connected, referencing his size (he’s 6’-9”) and their relationship.
