Shosuro Yakakina

Shosuro Yakakina was an infamous duelist of the Scorpion Clan. Complete Exotic Arms Guide, p. 10
== Duelist ==
Yakakina always dueled to first blood, but his opponents died days, weeks, or even months after the match from a debilitating infection. He had forged the first Shosuro Blade, which released poison when the blade was unsheathed, and introduced in the opponnent after a strike was true. 
== Death ==
Eventually Yakakina lost a duel to death, but his weapon was passed down to his son. 
== Aftermath ==
Following in his fathers footsteps, Yakakina's son became a duelist, but he was not able to hide the weapon's sinister side from his opponents. He was discovered, disgraced, and expelled from a Kakita tournament. He passed the knowledge of the Shosuro Blade to the Shosuro Daimyo, who through Shosuro O-Kido avenged the clan's disgrace. O-Kido used the Shosuro Blade to exact revenge upon the Kakita in the next tournament.
