== Failed Shinobi ==
Soshi Ezo was a master shinobi who in 1113 faked his death after he guessed his own clan was attempting to kill him. The majority of his students fled, and only a few remained loyal to him. He moved to Ryokō Owari Toshi and established the rogue Shadow Den Dōjō. He continued to experiment the forbidden art of Kagenari on his pupils, most of whom did not survive. Aoi was one of those who did not die in the shadow brand ritual, but the shadow brand could not stain. Another loyal student, Shosuro Takao, had not die, becoming a ninja. Aoi began to pose as Jin, an old male innkeeper of the Fortuitous Wind, and Takao took the persona of a young fisherman named Ebi.

== Death ==
In 1123 Ezo was murdered by Bayushi Aramoro to end his illicit activities. The Emerald Magistrate Bayushi Yojiro was sent to investigate the murder of Kitsuki Obo, who had been a guest of Aoi's inn. Her façade was not enough to cheat the Emerald Magistrate. Eventually Aoi saved the magistrate's life when Takao attempted to kill Yojiro. Some time later Aoi accepted to pose as Obo's murder, keeping in secret the activities of her late sensei. She conffessed to killing Obo in revenge for his part in her sale to a geisha house as a child, only one victim of many. Aoi's execution was set within the week.
