Ichirō Domogu

Hida Domogu was the founder of the Badger Clan, and was granted with his own family name, Ichirō.
== Crab Clan ==
In the second century, Hida Domogu was a young Crab who enjoyed sumai. He excelled at the art and gained glory within his clan. Trying to curb his pride, his family sent him on his musha shugyō, with instructions to travel as much of Rokugan as he could in his year away. Fields of Victory, p. 65
== Pilgrimage ==
Domogu took the name Ichirō for his warrior's pilgrimage, already seeking humility in selecting such a common child's name. Ichirō sought competitions to prove himself. Sadly, he found that in the rest of Rokugan, sumai was not as popular as other arts. Ichirō traveled as widely as he could, reaching a village in the northwestern edge of Rokugan, in what was Lion territory. He made his way into the mountains, and there he fell into a concealed pit trap in the pass, where villagers captured him. The villagers had rōnin among them, and bandits, and a large-statured gaijin woman. Ichirō learned from them their ways of defending their lands from outsiders. In turn, he taught them sumai, and soon a thriving school grew in the mountains. One day, scouts reported a force of mounted gaijin descending from a mountain pass. Ichirō organized multiple squads to slow the invaders and force them into narrow pathways, employing drums to communicate with each other. The invaders became to panic and Ichirō led his sumai warriors into final battle, pulling the invaders from their horses in crushing attacks. Ichirō was hailed for his efforts and named the new village leader. The final path where they had routed the gaijin would be known as the Path of Woe. Fields of Victory, pp. 65-66
== Badger Champion ==
The Emperor elevated the villagers to the status of Minor Clan, the Badger Clan, and Ichirō was made their daimyō and the new clan was entrusted with defending Rokugan's border in those mountains. The new Badger Clan built fortresses and set traps. Fields of Victory, p. 66
