Mirumoto Atshushi

Mirumoto Atshushi was a bushi of the Dragon Clan, and a member of the Mirumoto Mountaineers.

Youth
Atshushi's father was also a member of the Mountaineers and his mother was a member of the Mirumoto Talons. From the age when most kids started running he showed an exceptional aptitude for climbing. It was clear he would have his pick of joining one of his parent's units. He proved an excellent archer, but his love was for the mountains so he joined the Mountaineers.

Deployments
During his time with the Mountaineers, Atshushi was among those stationed along the southern border of the Dragon lands following the War of the Rich Frog in expectance of a Lion Clan counterattack. Later, at the beginning of the War of Silk and Steel Atshushi saw combat with the Lion, but little notice was given his service. He and the other Mountaineers spend many months fending off the Lion, and Atshushi lost several friends in the process. Atshushi did not forgive the Lion for killing his friends, but he took his strength from others within the Mountaineers such as Mirumoto Yozo. Those who also wish the Lion dead, but resist the urge to fall to that level.
