Asahina Hisayoshi

Asahina Hisayoshi was a courtier of the Crane Clan. In 1120 a tsunami ravaged the Crane coast and Hisayoshi was lost. When a Mantis pirate rescued him from the sea, he demanded that they also rescue the heimin children swept up by the tsunami. The pirate refused, so Hisayoshi attempted to save the children himself and was lost beneath the turbulent waves. The pirate and the water spirits nearby, moved by the man's sacrifice, pledged to protect the children.
