== Unicorn Clan ==
Shinjo Hanoshi served as both a courtier and an Imperial Magistrate before joining the Brotherhood. He studied the Kitsuki Method and applied it both in his career as a samurai and his studies as a monk. He had a deep scar across his belly as a reminder to be careful when undertaking an investigation. Way of Shinsei, p. 81
== Guardianship of Kochohime ==
Hanoshi was also the monk in whose care Tzurui left Kochohime after the fall of Shiro Nanbu. Way of the Wolf, p. 7
== Fall to the Taint ==
During the Battle of Oblivion's Gate Hanoshi was one of many who became tainted and joined the lost. Hanoshi became convinced that the Taint was the key to enlightenment and went so far as to stitch his eyes shut in order to fully devote himself to the new sensations he was experiencing.

=== Joining the Chuda ===
Hanoshi's madness fascinated the Chuda Daimyo, Chuda Mishime, who accepted the madman despite Hanoshi was not a shugenja. Chuda Hanoshi was appointed as sensei to the Temple of Venom. Daigotsu raised Hanoshi as the High Priest of Fu Leng of the Temple of the Ninth Kami. Clan Letter to the Spider #1 (Imperial Herald v2 #6)
