Yogo family

The Yogo family was founded by the shugenja Yogo, the husband of Asako who was cursed during the War Against Fu Leng and lured to the Scorpion Clan by Bayushi.

The Yogo Curse
Yogo's curse continues to haunt his descendants to this day. Each member of the family bearing his name is cursed to one day betray the person that he or she loves most. The longer it takes for a person to fulfill their curse and the more they try to prevent it, the worse it is when it finally comes to pass. The leadership of the Yogo family is careful to watch their charges and keep a close watch on those who have not yet fulfilled their curses.

In addition to the Yogo family, occassionally a member of the Asako family, also descendants of Yogo, will manifest a close enough relation to the once-husband of their family's namesake that they will receive a share of his curse. The Asako, as a result, also remain aware of the lingering curse and ts effect on their family. (Phoenix p. 53)
