During his stay with the Unicorn, Anakazu's three-years old daughter went missing. Because of his pride, Anakazu would not allow the Unicorn to mount a search until the next morning when his host confronted him with the Honor that would be lost if something had happened to the Lion child in Unicorn lands. The child was missing for one night, and the next day Anakazu's wife, frightened, disappointed her husband when she begged Gaemon for aid. The Unicorn found the child standing upon a black viper, where she had been, unmoving, since the previous night to avoid the snake any chance to bite her. The name of the viper was tsanuri, 'patient death', Way of the Lion, pp. 10-11 a proper name to a Lion samurai-ko, Ikoma Tsanuri.
