Otomo Shin

Please note: This article is about the legal scholar. For other uses of the term, please see Shin (disambiguation).
Otomo Shin was an Imperial legal scholar. In 1123 tensions between the Lion and Unicorn clans escalated into a border conflict near the City of the Rich Frog. The Unicorn asserted that the Lion aggression constituted an illegal war and had taken the matter to Imperial Court. Ikoma Hiroshika, a familiar face in the Imperial Court, constructed a strong legal case in defense of the Lion. However, Shin contended that Hiroshika's argument was based on a document (housed in the Military Library at the Castle of the Swift Sword) that might have been improperly transcribed. The original was in a library at Kyūden Tonbo, in the custody of the Dragonfly Clan. The Dragonfly, reluctant to risk provoking their short-tempered Lion neighbors, dragged their feet about the matter. A group of samurai were tasked by Shin to obtain the original document and compare it with the one found at the Castle of the Swift Sword. Legacies of War, p. 12
