Miyawa's tactical skills were legendary, and not even the oni-enchanced forced of Otori could overcome them, and the two forces were drawn into a war that would last a decade. During the war, Otori's wife, Shimizu Riko, was trapped away from the families lands. Shimizu Ohoshi, the child of Riko and Otori, was born away from the conflict, and saw none of it.

Fall of the Shimizu
Six years later, a vast Lion army marched towards the holdings of the Shimizu familiy, lead by a yound man who had taken the name Akodo Giri at gempukku. The entire Shimizu family was slaughtered to the last man, and their holdings burned to the ground.
