Shinjo T'sao

Shinjo T'sao was a Unicorn Clan bushi and the Topaz Champion of 1170.
== Topaz Championship ==
Shinjo Ichiro attended the Topaz Championship in 1170. For the hunting portion of the competition he was paired with Toku Kenichi, but neither he nor Kenichi were experienced hunters. During the hunt Hiruma Tensin, the favourite to win the tournament, and his partner Kitsune Kazue were attacked by peasants working for the bloodspeaker Morisue. Kazue was killed and Tensin taken prisoner. Morisue intented to sacrifice Tensin during the Chrysanthemum Festival, but was foiled by Ichiro and Kenichi. Ichiro killed Morisue himself, and Tensin wished to concede the championship to Ichiro. Ichiro refused, but ended up winning anyway. Ichiro chose the name Shinjo T'sao upon completing his gempukku.The Fortunes Smile, by Brian Yoon
