Shosuro Haikono

Shosuro Haikono was a ninja of the Scorpion Clan. He was the student to Shosuro Daigo, who taught him how to kill without being noticed. During a visit to the court Daigo gave hisr farewells to the other guests, and the usual gift to the resident daimyo, a netsuke. The trinket had been colored with poisoned paint, still wet. No poison in any paint could be powerful enough to kill with a touch, and not be noticed by the daimyo's yojimbo, but the victim bit his nails. The daimyo died and sensei and student slipped before things grew difficult. Way of the Ninja, p. 25
