== War of Fire and Snow ==
When in 1159 Four Winds, p. 36 the Lion were forced to withdraw their forces from the Dragon-Phoenix War, only Shinya and a handful of Matsu remained to stand beside the Phoenix against the Dragon. Matsu Shinya (An Oni's Fury flavor) 
== Death ==
Shiba Aikune, outraged by the perceived betrayal of the Lion, demanded that the few Lion who remained pay the price. Jagged Earth (Dark Allies flavor) In 1159, when Aikune met the Lion forces still stationed in Phoenix lands, he insulted them Defend Yourself! (Dark Allies flavor) and instigated a duel with their leader, Shinya. Draw From Within (Dark Allies flavor) Aikune, driven half mad by Isawa's Last Wish, unleashed its power. Even as the fires of the Last Wish consumed him, Shinya did not fall. His blade cut the air inches from Aikune's face. The Phoenix looked into the samurai's eyes as he died, and knew that in the Lion Clan he had found a worthy foe. Faith In My Clan (Dark Allies flavor) Shinya's surviving men Ikoma Korin, and Matsu Watako fled back through the Phoenix lands.
