It was the Ikoma Omoidasu Ikoma Masote who discovered the shakuhachi. He was chronicling the War of the Rich Frog diligently, but secretly as becoming disillusioned with the horrors of war. While seeking some means to ease the suffering around him he came upon the shakuhachi. When in the Lion encampment he eased the troubles weighing on many Lion samurai's minds when he played the shakuhachi.
