Keinosuke was a rōnin who joined the Moshibaru family of the Crab Clan as Hida Keinosuke of House Moshibaru.
== Rōnin ==
Keinosuke was a rōnin who hired his sword to as bodyguard to Michiru, a rich merchant maiden. At Ishikawa Mura his charge had a meeting with a samurai, named Hida Kayo, and eventually the couple began to fight each other. Keinosuke struck him only to realize he was defending himself from Michiru, who revealed herself as a mahō-tsukai. Keinosuke fled south in the direction of the Kaiu Wall.

== Crab Clan ==
Keinosuke performed the Twenty Goblin Winter and the Crab Clan granted him fealty to the Moshibaru family. A group of samurai who were investigating the murder tracked him down, and confronted Keinosuke in a duel. He explained what had happened after he lost a duel with one of the samurai.

== Death ==
Somehow Kayo's death allowed the monster Kazanagan no Oni to fully materialize in the mortal realm, and it quickly readied a Shadowlands horde to assault the Third Watchtower of the Wall. Keinosuke joined the battle eager to redeem himself after his involvement with Michiru, the mahō-tsukai. The oni's first target was the Crab commander in the area, Hida Tomonatsu, and Keinosuke intercepted the killing blow intended for Tomonatsu and suffered it instead, allowing him to regain his honor.
