Danyu

Danyu was headman of Seitou Tason, a remote Rokugani village. He was a lean, withered man, with sunken cheeks and thinning hair. Danyu married to Shizume, and they had had two daughter, who married into other households in the village.

Headman
The previous headman left vacant the position when he was killed by a stampede of oxen, and his succesor would be the last who stands in a brawl among all the candidates. Danyu refused to fight, remaining standing after all the blows directed at him. When only Danyu and another villager left standing, his opponent realized that a physically strong leader was not nearly as important as a morally strong leader. He bowed to Danyu who had been the headman ever since.
