== Pacifist ==
Ryōma was a pacifist to the core, he did not bear weapons, not even the wakizashi to which his status as a samurai entitled him. Across the Burning Sands, by Daniel Lovat Clark
== Shono's Advisor ==
Ryōma was appointed as language tutor of Shinjo Shono, heir of the Clan. Shono and Ryōma befriended, and the Ide became his personal advisor. He was part of Shono's entourage in his journey to the Qamarist Caliphate, where they met the Caliph Harun al-Hakim, who had long cast an envious eye on the Unicorn holdings outside of Rokugan. The negotiations went wrong due to the Caliph's ambition, who eventually sent his men against the Unicorn entourage when they were his guests at al-Zawira. Shono was captured, losing an eye at the hands of the Caliph's sorcerer, but they managed to flee and reunited with the rest of his forces outside the Qamarist capital, pursued by ghuls and an Ifrit. Ryōma survived, along with several other Unicorn, including Shono, his yōjimbō Utaku Yumino, Moto Chagatai, and Iuchi Shoan. Ryōma made an agreement with enemies of the caliph, and Shono married Saadiyah al-Mozedu to seal the alliance.
