Doji Ryobu (TCG)

Doji Ryobu was the Champion of the Crane Clan when the Unicorn Clan returned to the Emerald Empire.
== River of the Blind Monk ==
A Crane record told that, just before his gempuku, Ryobu was traveling alone when he encountered a blind monk fishing by the side of a river. The monk would ferry anyone across who could answer his riddle, but if one attempted to pay for passage instead, one inevitably ended up tossed into the water. The river was known as the River of the Blind Monk, and the frist stories of this fabled monk dated from the earliest days of the Empire. Courts of Stone, p. 69

In the year 815 Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 18 a barbarian invasion broke through the defenses mounted by the Crab and Lion clans. Their hordes entered Rokugan through the Shadowlands, punching a hole through Crab defenses and making their way past the Kaiu Wall into the heart of the Empire itself. The Great Clans (Learn to Play Rulebook) As the enemy hordes slowly made their way across the Spine of the World Mountains, the Lion Clan mobilized their armies. The winter snows halted the imminent clash of armies. Unexpectedly appearing in the Imperial Court, their leader, Shinjo Nishijin, approached Doji Ryobu and returned Doji's Fan, which had been given by Lady Doji to her beloved sister Shinjo before the Ki-Rin Clan left the Empire. Recognizing it instantly, Ryobu embraced Nishijin, and the Unicorn were recognized as a Great Clan shortly thereafter. Courts of Stone, p. 55
