Shinjo Inejiro, the Unicorn Clan Champion's cousin, loved Kakita Umeki. Her father, Kakita Konyo, the Master of the Kakita Dueling Academy, disdained the Unicorn Clan's barbaric ways, and would not allowed the betrothal. Inejiro hoped that if he built her a city Konyo would see his worth and marry him. Impressed, Konyo retracted his harsh words and promised to grant Inejiro his daughter's hand as soon as the city was complete. Matsu Hajime, a rival suitor who sought Umeki's hand purely for political reasons, accused Konyo of breaking his oath to the Lion. While the city was being built Hajime attacked Kakita lands, and Umeki died during the siege's first hour. Inejiro added his forces to Konyo, and together the Kakita and Shinjo invaded Matsu lands.

== Rise of the Moto ==
For the first two centuries of its existence Oshinodka Toshi was a city carefully built in the
finest Crane-influenced style but only barely inhabited. After the displacement of the Shinjo family from the clan heartland by the Moto, many Shinjo families relocated there, making it much more of a proper city.
