Daidoji Ekiken

Daidoji Ekiken is the younger brother of Daidoji Enai. He had once been a promising young bushi until he suffered a terrible dishonor in court. He would have been cast out of his clan if not for the intervention of his brother. This left him to become a member of the Daidoji Harriers with no possibilty of a more prestigeous position.

== Mirumoto Ukira = In an attempt to discredit the Topaz Champion Mirumoto Ukira in public, Ekiken insulted both Ukira's Clan and family. Ekiken however went to far, and Ukira demanded a duel. His brother Enai could not stand and let him die, and took his place in the duel. The duel was faught, and both Enai and Ukira suffered injuries. Enai's were not fatal, but Ukira was not as lucky.
