The Ikoma Elite Guardians served as yojimbo to the important leaders of the Ikoma family. Their signature weapon was the No-dachi. Masters of War, p. 100
== Historical Elite Guardians ==
The first Ikoma Elite Guardians were not soldiers at all, but rather an association of yojimbo serving the Lion courtiers and ambassadors in Otosan Uchi. These yojimbo were seconded to the Seppun Guardsmen protecting the city, and took to using the no-dachi as their weapon of choice. This tradition spread and the Elite Guardians were created. Masters of War, p. 99

His ancient role finished with the Fall of Otosan Uchi, and they took another similar to that of other Elite Guard units, responsible for ensuring the safety and security of essential Ikoma strongholds and the family's leaders. They were trained to fight purely on the defensive. 
== Slaughtered ==
