Ashigaru
The Ashigaru were levied or even career soldiers, not of the samurai class, [1] the solid core of most fighting forces in the Emerald Empire, [2] common foot-soldiers of the Rokugani armies. [3] The clans did not maintain their ashigaru under arms during peacetime, they recruited and trained ashigaru when war erupted. [4] Ashigaru of the Lion Clan benefited from better training, better equipment, and greater numbers than those of any other clan. [5] The use of ashigaru became an increasingly important, often pivotal, part of Rokugani military forces after the Battle of Broken Hooves in the fourth century. [6]
