| Clan: | Unicorn Clan |
| Founded: | 42 |
| Daimyo: | Iuchi Ietsuna |
The Iuchi family was founded by Iuchi, a follower of Shinjo and a skilled shugenja.
Gaijin Magic
During their journeys abroad, Iuchi learned much of the magics of the lands he visited, and as a result, the Unicorn's magic was often seen as dangerously gaijin in nature, especially in their use of magical items. The Iuchi attempt to hide this from their xenophobic cousins as much as possible. [citation needed]
The Meishodo, a magic that owed nothing to the Celestial Order, was one step away from the Order, and the Iuchi lost a little of their connection to Rokugan, suffering a slight separation from their heritage. [1]
Stagnant
The Iuchi adapted meishodo to the Rokugani belief system; however, they found a problem. Their own understanding of Rokugani magic had faded and they had found themselves "cut off" from the tide of magical energies. The Iuchi did not reveal this to the rest of Rokugan neither to the rest of their Clan. [2]
Mon
The mon of the Iuchi family represented their devotion to the study of magic. An open scroll flowed across a deep blue field, their family name emblazoned upon it. The spirals incorporated into the design represented the dynamic, fluid energy of magic, while the scroll symbolized the Tao of Shinsei, on which the Iuchi base all of their magical interpretations.

| Iuchi Tzichung supposed to be Iuchi Daimyo in 1135, because he was with all the other Unicorn Daimyo in the reception of the Legacy of the Naga. [4] Then, Tzichung was Daimyo after Hiruko and before Kumiho. --Oni no Pikachu 16:04, April 12, 2012 (UTC) |
