Matsu Ino

Matsu Ino was the Lion Clan samurai who provoked a scandal during one of the courts of Hantei XXXVIII, claiming that it was Bayushi Kachiko who manipulated Ino's fall from his lord's favor. With the help of Bayushi Yojiro, the scandal was diffused before it was too late.

On the following day, Ino woke up covered with the blood of his lord, and was found guilty in murdering him while drunk by Bayushi Yojiro. His fate was left to decide for Akodo Toturi, either seppuku or execution.
