Tsuruchi (TCG)

Tsuruchi was a famed bounty hunter who eventually founded the Wasp Clan. Still establishing itself and on unfriendly terms with both the Scorpion and the Lion, his Clan 
sought allies, such as the Mantis Clan. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 18
== Minor Clan ==
Tsuruchi was a disowned samurai with the Lion mother and Scorpion father. She captured Traitor's Keep, her father's castle, with just a handful of rōnin, and called it the “Castle of the Wasp”. One of Doji Satsume's last acts as Emerald Champion had been to grant her the protections and status of a Minor Clan. After the Emperor, Hantei the Thirty-Eighth, died, the Scorpion claimed that he had not approved this, that he had died before he could.

== The Wall is Breached ==
In 1123 the hordes of Akuma no Oni breached through the Kaiu Wall and overrun the Crab defenses, marching northwest, to the Shinomen Forest. Tsuruchi met Hida Sukune, who was in charge of the remaining Crab forces. Several other Minor Clans had also pledged to help, and Sukune devised a plan to halt the Shadowlands menace in the shores of the Lakes of Cherry Blossom Snow.
