The tribe lived near the Badger Clan. When in 1166 a new jade mine collapsed, they saw an oni inside it, and supposed it had caused the disaster. They told it to Kasuga Mino, daughter of the Tortoise Clan Champion, Kasuga Taigen. Mino and the Yobanjin knew each other since years. Mino was instrumental in avoiding retaliation on the tribe by the Badger, who initially believed they had caused the mine ruin. Duty, Like a Mountain, by Rich Wulf
== Yobanjin Plot ==
In 1168 the Badger Clan sent word to the Mountain Wind that a yobanjin tribe was plotting to pit the Badger against the friendly Mountain Wind Tribe. The manipulators hoped to use the Badger attack on the Mountain Wind as a rallying point to marshal a united offense against Rokugan by multiple Yobanjin tribes. The Badger Clan Champion Ichiro Kihongo ensured that this deception did not come to pass. Vignettes II: The Thrill of Adventure, by Shawn Carman
