Gorinno

Gorinno was a famous monk in the 6th century.

Beliefs
Gorinno in the city of Nikesake claimed the Crab Clan to be a Clan of Earth, the Crane and Scorpion a Clan of Air, the Dragon a Clan of Fire, the Lion a Clan of Water, and the Phoenix a Clan of Void. One of the two Clans of air had to merge in one single clan in order the restore Celestial Balance, as the Ki-Rin Clan, a Clan of Water, did before. Some of those who heard of it considered heretical his arguments.

"Five Rings, five clans. Otherwise, balance will never be attained, and our misfortunes will only grow worse."

Heresy of the Five Rings
Isawa Amiku embraced the teachings Gorinno proposed and with the Kuni Daimyo Kuni Watabe created a religious movement which would be known as the Heresy of the Five Rings.
