Shosuro Yu

Shosuro Yu was a Shosuro Actor of the Scorpion Clan.

Damasu Family
Yu adopted the persona of a Ide Torao and in 1120 she helped the geisha Reika to escape Kyotei Castle after she killed the Tsume Daimyō Tsume Retsu. Reika was the last member of the extinct Damasu family, who had been annihilated one generation ago by Retsu's forces when he conquered the castle, a strategic stronghold close to Toshi Ranbo and the Phoenix Clan city of Nikesake. The Scorpion Clan's spy network knew the history of Kyotei Castle and discovered Reika's secret, which they planned to use to deprive the Crane Clan of their castle. Yu helped Reika appeal to the Lion Clan and be adopted as Damasu no Akodo Maeda. In 1123 Maeda attempted to kidnap and marry Retsu's son and her former lover, Tsume Takashi, rekindling his love for her to convince him to marry her. Eventually a group of samurai foiled her plan and Maeda was slain in the process. Takashi married Shiba Itsuyo, daugther of the Lord of Nikesake, and resigned his position to committ seppuku. Doji Kuzunobu, husband to the Crane Clan Champion Doji Hotaru and one of the wedding's guests, accepted her oaths of fealty to the Doji family and recognized her as the new lord. It streghtened the bonds between both clans and assure the Phoenix support in case of being threatened by the Lion Clan.
