Shika Hisatsugu

Shika Hisatsugu was a shugenja and a nakōdo of the Deer Clan.

Deer Matchmaker
In 1117 Doji Miyuki met Hisatsugu at Kyūden Asako, proposing to arrange the wedding between Hiramichi no Daidoji Asahi, a merchant lord, and Ide Riku, another merchant lord with several holdings along the Crane-Crab border. The proposal named a war-orphaned Doji child to be adopted by the pair, ensuring that these unified holdings would be inherited by the Crane. Riku and Asahi had known one another since childhood, and they loved each other.
