Daidoji Masashigi

When the Tidal Landbridge was assaulted by the cunning Oni no Kinjiro in 715 and all hope seemed lost for the Crab defending it, Daidoji Masashigi led his guards across the Landbridge and attacked the oni, the waves rising up about them with the high tide.

The only remains found afterwards was the battered helmet of Masashigi. The Battle was later known as the Battle of Tidal Landbridge.

The Crab erected a shrine in the memory of Masashigi, and since then there have been good relations betweeen the "Iron Crane" Daidoji and the Crab.
