Mirumoto Raitsugu

Mirumoto Raitsugu was a bushi and duelist of the Dragon Clan.
== Army of the Rising Wave ==
Raitsugu was one of the lieutenants of Mirumoto Hitomi when in 1123 she led the Army of the Rising Wave, stationed at Otosan Uchi. After the Emerald and Ruby Champions left their posts accusing the Imperial Regent Bayushi Shoju to be the mastermind behind the regicide of the late Emperor, Raitsugu was part of the Dragon forces that seized the Imperial Palace and put the Regent under arrest for the murder of the Emperor, to deliver him to the justice of the Imperial Chancellor.

=== The Scorpion Coup ===
Unexpectedly Shoju escaped, so Hitomi ordered her troops an immediate manhunt throughout the city to search for him, spreading her troops thin across the capital. Eventually the former Lion ambassador Ikoma Ujiaki claimed the leadership of the Imperial Legions, mostly consisted of Lion soldiers, to retake the Capital with the support of Scorpion forces stationed there. Led by Ujiaki, the Lion and Scorpion forces smashed through the southern gates of the Forbidden City, scattering the fragmented units of the Army of the Rising Wave and swallowing the Captain of the Imperial Guard Seppun Ishikawa's trapped guards. Raitsugu was single-handely defeated by Shoju, who spared Raitsugu in order he would tell the Clans that Shoju should attend under his rule, and that anyone who defied this order would drown in the nightmares he would unleash from the Shadowlands. The Villain’s Mask, by Mari Murdock Raitsugu commanded the Army of the Rising Waves as part of an assembled army of Crane, Lion, Phoenix, Scorpion, and Unicorn samurai who began the assault of the capital. They received word from the Crab that Hida Kisada had fallen, and Akuma no Oni's horde marched across their provinces with the discipline of a well-trained Shadowlands army.

=== Aftermarth ===
The Shadowlands horde was defeated by the assembled Rokugani armies in the Battle of Cherry Blossom Snow Lake. Akuma no Oni, who had killed Togashi Yokuni on the battlefield, was killed as well. Hitomi was appointed to lead a contingent of Imperial Legionnaires who began the search of the missing Hantei heirs. Kitsuki Yaruma and Mirumoto Raitsugu remained in the capital as liaisons for daimyō Mirumoto Masashige until the lost heir to the Dragon Clan, Togashi Mitsu, made his location known.
