Heichi

Hida Heichi was one of the descendants of a group of Crab explorers lost in the Twilight Mountains in 383, who would become Heichi, founder of the Boar Clan. Legend of the Five Rings; Third Edition, p. 12
== Imprisoned ==
The Shakoki Dogu, guardians of the place where the First Oni fell, became lonely in their eternal duty. When a group of Crab explorers entered the mountains, the Shakoki Dogu imprisoned them between the Spirit Realms to help it maintain its lonely vigil. For sixty years the Crab struggled to escape, until finally their leader Hida Heichi confronted the Shakoki Dogu spirit and he was told why they had been imprisoned. He promised that as long as the Shakoki Dogu fought the First Oni's corruption, his descendants would stand beside the spirit. Secrets of the Crab, p. 20
== Return ==
When Heichi and his followers returned to Rokugan from the Twilight Mountains they brought with them three tons of jade and iron. Heichi said they were paying back taxes. When the Crab wanted Heichi and his followers to rejoin them they refused. Amazed by Heichi's stories the Emperor Hantei Muhaki in 447 bestowed them the family name Heichi and the Minor Clan status on him and his followers. Secrets of the Crab, pp. 8-9
