Doji's Fan (unit)

Doji's Fan is a military unit of the Crane Clan and was created within a generation of the return of the Unicorn Clan in the ninth century. The Unicorn presented Doji's Fan, a gift that had been given to Lady Shinjo from Lady Doji, to the Crane Clan as proof of who they really were. The Crane vouched for the returned Rokugani, and in return they were gifted with a number of the Unicorn's horses. The Crane took the horses and created the Doji's Fan military unit, naming it in honor of the item that precipitated their creation.

Tactics
Doji's Fan is a rapid attack force used for "surgical" attack on the enemy forces. They are not used lightly however, because of their rare and valuable steeds. They are only deployed when the situation has become severely dire, or when an opportunity that cannot be passed up presents itself. The skills of the riders prooves the victor more often than not.

Assignments
Doji's Fan are primarily made up of Doji and Kakita forces, and concentrated most within the First Crane Clan Army. There are a few within the Daidoji family who show exceptional skill with horses, and as such there is some units of Doji's Fan present within the Daidoji Army. In both armies they are the Second Legion, but in the case of the Daidoji army there are only enough troops to constitute a company of men.
