== Family ==
Oguri was the son of Yasuki Taka, and had a son Yasuki Kamoru. Souls of the Betrayed, Steel Throne Bonus Chapter
== Yasuki Daimyo ==
Oguri served as daimyo of the Yasuki family after Yasuki Taka's disappearance. Secrets of the Crab, p. 92
== Kolat Master ==
During that same time, Oguri had become an ally of Doji Akae and Akae named Oguri his successor as Master Coin on his deathbed during the War of Spirits, in the year 1149. Way of the Thief, p. 13
=== War of Spirits ===
Oguri was confronted in 1138 by Yasuki Masashi, a returned spirit who had been a Yasuki when the family was still a part of the Crane Clan. Masashi felt the Yasuki should return to the Crane, but Oguri refused to do so. Masashi challenged Oguri to a duel to resolve the matter, but when Oguri refused to duel him Masashi could not kill Oguri without galvanising the Yasuki with the Crab. Masashi left, intent on a new plan. 
=== Rebellion and Death ===
Oguri did not agree with the Kolat's goal of conquering the world, and broke tradition, including naming his son, Yasuki Kamoru, as his heir. Oguri started his own war within the Kolat, and threatened the other Masters that he would use the resources of his sect and family to expose the conspiracy if they did not change their ways. Oguri died in 1157 of a disease that had only been encountered twice in the Crab's history. In truth, the Masters had poisoned Oguri, through a Lotus assassin. 
=== Successor ===
His son named himself the new Master Coin. Despite the other Masters' refusal to recognize his claim, many of Oguri's agents chose to follow Kamoru.
