The Ishi family was one of the most ancient vassal families in the Empire. According to the legend Kaiu Ishi forged a suit of armor that saved the life of the Crab Clan Champion Hida Kenzan and for this was granted a vassal family. [1]

Duty[]

The Ishi were a Juhin-Kenzoku, a quartermaster or forgery family, of the Crab Clan. After the Battle of White Stag they invented the tetsu-dou style of armor. [1] It was a heavy iron armor worn almost exclusively by the Crab. Its purpose was to withstand an oni attack. [2]
