Kitsu Ise

Kitsu Ise was the founder of the Ise family.

Fighting Spirits
The Kitsu travels and passages to other Spirit Realms were the cause that denizens of other realms began to follow the Kitsu Shugenja back to Ningen-do. Incidents with ghosts and demons happened, so Ise gathered ashigaru to hunt down and exterminate the supernatural threats one at a time.

Vassal family Name
The elders of the Kitsu had been idle against such menace, and Ise had not asked permission to enact his small war. Akodo himself rewarded Ise's determination with his own vassal family name. The Ise family served as the strong arm of the Kitsu, protecting their cousins from threats of both the mortal world and other Realms. The Temple of the Lion's Claw located just north of the Kitsu Tombs became their ancestral home.
