Bayushi Jo

Bayushi Jo was a Scorpion Clan Champion.

Conspiracy exposed
A conspiracy against Jo was uncovered at Ryoko Owari Toshi. Shosuro Kohei was accused as the mastermind without any testimony or evidence. His execution hanged by the neck like a commoner was ordered, as further punishment for his treachery. A tremendous outcry happened between the nobles risking a civil war, so Jo changed the sentence to seppuku.

Execution
Kohei performed the ceremony in the Temple of Shosuro, and after the first cuts were made, he raised his head during a painful agony and Kohei swore he had not betrayed Jo, and his spirit would not rest until this stain was taken from his name, and died. His ghost haunted the temple since.
