Usu no Oni

Usu no Oni was an oni of the Shadowlands.
== Assaulting the Wall ==
In 375 Imperial Histories, p. 58 Usu no Oni had gathered an army and marched on Shiro Hiruma. The Crab armies gathered to fight him, but Usu was cunning and the Crab took serious casualties. They became outnumbered and sent runners to inform the Akodo of Hida's imminent failure, and warned them to protect the Emperor at all costs. They dug in, resigned for the worst. Secrets of the Crab, pp. 24-25
=== Defeated ===
A week later, most of the Imperial Legions arrived in Crab lands, led by Emperor Hantei Fujiwa. He placed them, and even himself, under the command of Crab Champion Hida Ichido. With their help, Ichido's armies defeated Oni no Usu and his demons. Fujiwa personally defended Kyuden Hida wielding the Ancestral Sword of the Hantei, guarding the gates beside the Crab Champion.
