Ashiryo Hijiko

Hijiko was a yoriki of the Lion governor of the Hamana province, Ataka during the Clan War. An unknown ronin was brought to his presence to explain a sake house brawl, where the wave man had bested the local magistrate, Ujikeme. Hijiko was not fond of Ujikeme, a drunker and gambler, so she told the truth: the ronin had defeated her fellow with his bare hands. Ataka promoted her as his doshin and chief Magistrate on the spot. Ataka offered the ronin to fill the gap as yoriki, and the Lion governor did not hesitated when he told his true identity, as Ginawa, wielder of the wicked Bloodsword Revenge.
