People

Ikoma Korin is the nephew of Ikoma Fujimaro. When the Tsuno attacked the Lion, the Clan was at war with the Dragon Clan, and allied with the Phoenix Clan. In order to fight the Tsuno, the Lion retired its troop from the Phoenix lands leaving only a handful of skillfull warriors led by Matsu Shinya, and the Phoenix considered it a betrayal. Shiba Aikune, driven half mad by Isawa's Last Wish, killed Shinya; but Fujimaro, Korin and a unit of Lion's Pride led by Matsu Watako survived and made their way back through the Phoenix land. ^{[citation needed]}

[edit] War of the Rich Frog

During the War of the Rich Frog, Korin was charged with finding the traitor believed to be plaguing the ranks of the Lion Clan armies during the War of the Rich Frog. Korin found that the traitor was Ikoma Yasuko, wife of Ikoma Otemi. Rather than reveal the information to Otemi, Korin chose for a time to become ronin and search for an answer on his own. His search led him to become re-accepted into the Lion Clan and to be given governance of Toshi sano Kanemochi Kaeru. ([1])

[edit] Ikoma Daimyo

Korin was made daimyo of the Ikoma family when Ikoma Sume retired. ^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Family

Korin was killed in 1170 during Daigotsu's assassination campaign against the Great Clans. Spider Clan assassins impersonated ronin from groups allied to the Lion Clan before striking and killing Korin. All the assassins were wiped out in retalliation by the Lion.^[1] The position was then offered to Ikoma Otemi, but he passed the honor to Korin's son, Ikoma Hagio instead.^[2]
