Horiuchi family
Clan:	Unicorn Clan
Founded:	Unknown
Daimyo:	Unknown

The Horiuchi family was the newest family of the Unicorn Clan, having been founded just before the Scorpion Coup. Because of their short history, the Horiuchi was also the smallest family among the Unicorn. They were the second shugenja family of the Unicorn Clan and the guardians of the Shinomen Mori. ^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Origins

The Horiuchi family was created by Shinjo Yokatsu when Iuchi Shoan saved two of his children, Shinjo Shono and Shinjo Shonoko from a bandit attack. Shoan had the word 'Hori', which means 'moat' added to her name, and thus the Horiuchi Family was born. ^[1]

[edit] Put to the Torch

The survival of the family was in serious jeopardy, as the plague unleashed upon Rokugan by the Ebon Daughter took a great toll on their territory. To prevent an outbreak, Iweko I ordered their lands put to the torch and all within to be killed. As the family was a small one, all but a dozen Horiuchi (such as Horiuchi Rikako) were killed in the culling.^[2]
