Ikoma Korin



Ikoma Korin is the nephew of Ikoma Fujimaro. When the Tsuno attacked the Lion, the Clan was at war with the Dragon Clan, and allied with the Phoenix Clan. in order to fight the Tsuno, the Lion retired its troop from the Phoenix lands leaving only a handful of skillfull warriors led by Matsu Shinya, and the Phoenix considered it a betrayal. Shiba Aikune killed Shinya; Ikoma Fujimaro, Ikoma Korin and a unit of Lion's Pride led by Matsu Watako, survived and made their way back through the Phoenix land.

During the War of the Rich Frog, Korin was charged with finding the traitor believed to be plaguing the ranks of the Lion Clan armies during the War of the Rich Frog. Korin found that the traitor was Ikoma Yasuko, wife of Ikoma Otemi. Rather than reveal the information to Otemi, Korin chose for a time to become ronin and search for an answer on his own. His search led him to become re-accepted into the Lion Clan and to be given governance of Toshi sano Kanemochi Kaeru. 

More recently, he has been made daimyo of the Ikoma family.

His son, Ikoma Kusari is married to the Crane Clan Champion Doji Domotai.
