Shinganji clan

Member

The **Shinganji clan** (**心願寺**) belongs to the Fuuma clan. One of the moderate families of the Fuuma, they mostly remain on good terms with Gosha Village.

Users of the clan have the "Mind Eye", it isn't unknown if it is more of a Ninja Art or Onmyoji skill. Regardless of this, other members show the Ninja Arts of either the Fuuma clan's Evil Eye or Wind Arts.

The clan also, has a genetic predisposition, which allows them to breed with demons, even of the noble class.

## Structure/Politics

A clan, which was part of the Fuuma clan and also was part of the old system of the eight generals.

They separated from most of the Fuuma clan and rejected any conflict with Gosha Village, ⁣⁣ but their neutral position still created some shame for the clan head. The clan isolated itself further and depending on timeline still works with Gosha to some degree. Overall, the clan sought peace under their current clan heads.

A sidearm of the Shinganj**i** is the rather small Kiichi family.

## History

A powerful clan, that is part of the Fuuma. A legend of the Shinganji talks of a hero of the clan, who sliced sixteen enemy cavalry units with a single swing and saved his lord.

Shinganji Gen-an was one of the eight generals of the Fuuma as the head of the clan, but after his daughter was kidnapped by Edwin Black, he traveled to the Dark World to save her, was badly injured and was since unable to fight. However, rescued the birthed "Shinganji Kurenai".

Having not allied with Fuuma Danjo, the clan still had mostly isolated themselves under the leadership of Shinganji Gen-an. With the death of Gen-an, the spot of clan head remained empty, as Kurenai (granddaughter of Gen-an) was seen too much of a wild card by the other clan members, not just because of her blood ties but because she saved Makishima Ayame and killed some of their members, even if the matter was justified.

The clan has ties to the Onmyoji, in which multiple of their members without Ninja Arts joined the group instead.

### Timeline TABA

The clan current leadership was turned to **Shinganji Taito** as the head but after his death, his daughter, Ryuu, ran away from the clan. Leaving the clan's future uncertain. As the Fuuma clan is split between Fuuma Organization and Fuuma Danjo Loyalists, as well as Shinganji Kurenai and Makishima Ayame still being missing many years into the future.

### Timeline RPGX/Action

Some of the details are unclear, but Shinganji Gen-an again removed himself from the Fuuma and later the village. Shinganji Kurenai became a Rogue Taimanin in Senzaki with most of her clan following her, but still work with Gosha from time to time.

## Trivia

* The Shinganji dual wielding style of swordsmanship, which uses two straight blades of different lengths, is said to be the most famous sword style among the Taimanin, even eclipsing the prominent Itto style but not most used style.
* Rare cases of the Shinganji clan boasts a powerful ability referred to as God Eye. This ability allows users to "see distortions". This can be used to target vital weaknesses, or even create vacuums of air with one's blades that increases their destructive power. The swords Shirakami and Koma were designed specifically with this in mind and are meant to be the ultimate weapons for the Shinganji dual wield style.
* Gen'an is mentioned to be a "Mind's Eye" user in Taimanin Kurenai. It is unclear if this is the same ability as the God Eye or Evil Eye, though it can be assumed to at least be similar, since he trained Kurenai to use God Eye in relative solitude and possessed Shirakami and Koma before her.

### Etymology

* The surname **Shinganji** means "Buddhist temple"
