Ichiro (II)

Ichiro was son of Setsuo, the leader of Twin Blessings Village. Path of Waves, p. 126, 131
== Demeanor ==
Reo was his friend, a young woman who was recommended as dōshin to the magistrate by his father. Until her appointment she was as close as a sister to Ichiro. Eventually her relationship with Ichiro was soured to the point of turning these once-close friends into enemies. Ichiro would be a likely candidate for next village leader, but since he fell out with his once-devoted friend Reo, he had increasingly withdrawn from the other villagers. He preferred the company of animals, and he began to train to fight with Michi. Path of Waves, pp. 130, 137
== Banditry ==
Eventually Ichiro left the village to lead the bandits in the nearby forest. He could not bear to watch his father submit to the new and harsh daimyō, Reju Jikai, and his cruelty. Reo followed him. They gathered together several of the villagers who wanted to fight rather than starve, most of whom trained with Michi. He encouraged the bandits to train and hunt in secret in the forest. He hoped to ultimately help the village by overthrowing Jikai. All wore masks when they raidedd nearby villages or even attack lone samurai. Ichirō claimed to have joined the Perfect Land Sect and expected other members of the sect to join him soon so he could attack Closed-Shell Castle. Sins of Regret, pp. 5-8
