When the First War ended, Hatsu Suru no Oni was the highest ranked demon that remained alive in the mortal realm, charged with remaining in the Shadowlands to protect it from the Rokugani. The demon made a home in a cave near the edge of the Shadowlands. Hatsu Suru no Oni was lured by Hiruma into a trap built by Kaiu, which had been secured with Kuni's wards. Creatures of Rokugan: Third Edition, pp. 146-147 The trapped demon was killed by Hiruma in the year 43. This had been the test of loyalty given by the Kami Hida to these three followers, who earned the honor to become Hida's lieutenants. Secrets of the Crab, p. 7
