Akodo Bushi

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The Akodo Bushi follow the ideals and teachings set down by Akodo, the first Emperor's general and fiercest of the Kami. Akodo wrote Leadership, a treatise on the art of warfare and the profession of the soldier. The Akodo are just as fierce as the other Lion Clan families, but temper their spirit with Akodo's teachings of patience. Students of the Akodo learn to fight from both command positions as well as rank and file, and will work together with almost a complete silence. This is a result of the endless training they went through at their dojo, and the Lion armies commanded by Akodo in the command tents and on the field move as if they were a single powerful force. The distinction of the Akodo Bushi School will cause opposing generals to hesitate before engaging them in a battle, and legend has it that an army led by an Akodo trained general has never seen defeat except to another Akodo trained general. One of the foremost Akodo Bushi dojo is the Akodo War College, and to be accepted into the college is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a samurai. Few gain permission to study with the bushi or war college schools, and rarely for more than a year or two. In all cases the outsider allowed to train with the Akodo comes away from the experience with a great amount of respect and fear for the techniques of the Akodo. (3E p. 129)
