Nobuto family

The Nobuto family was a vassal family in service to the Yasuki family of the Crab Clan.
== Founding ==
Yasuki Jiriki was the second son of Yasuki Kiringu, the Yasuki Daimyo who had defected the Yasuki family from the Crane to the Crab Clan. Jiriki was trained in the Hida Bushi School and appointed as a well respected gunso in the Crab armies. Soon after Jiriki led his command to the Yasuki lands and staged an attack on a small Crane village. The Kakita Daimyo ordered a counterattack, but when he realized the Crab supported the newcomers, the Crane were forced to withdraw, rather than escalate the conflict into open war. Kiringu bestowed the vassal family name Nobuto upon his first son Yasuki Nobuto. Secrets of the Crane, pp. 78-79
== Duty ==
Kiringu charged his descendants with maintaining strong ties to the Crab armies. His ancestral home was abandoned after the Second Yasuki War ended, and the Nobuto moved to a relatively large town just to the south of Shiro Daidoji, which was renamed Nobuto Toshi. Secrets of the Crane, p. 79
