Kuni Hitu

Kuni Hitu was a descendant of Kuni Hohiro, the first wielder of the Jade Hand, granted by Osano-Wo himself. The Hand stayed under the guidance of Hohiro's family until finally Kuni Hitu awoke in the middle of the night and left the Crab territories, in 1118. A single Hida guard watched the young samurai depart, and the guard claimed the only statement made by Hitu was "I hear his call." Hitu was unchallenged and disappeared, traveling north. The track of the Jade Hand was lost for several years.
