== Matriarchal Family ==
No other Unicorn family had so deeply and spiritually embraced Bushidō as the Utaku, who embodied it in their elite battle maidens, the shiotome. The matriarchal Utaku allowed only their women to ride to war; the Utaku men served afoot as infantry and in the stables and households.
