The Koritome family was founded not long after the Battle of White Stag in 442, honoring the memory of Matsu Koritome who had died saving the life of the new Emperor Hantei Muhaki. Muhaki had been attempting to negotiate with the gaijin who attacked Rokugan when he was ambushed. Koritome killed the attackers, but was himself mortally wounded. Muhaki held a archery tournament to honor Koritome, and when there were over two hundred Lion still in the competition after two days the Lion Clan Champion Matsu Zaruko was so impressed that she founded the Koritome family and made those two hundred it's first members.[1]
The Koritome family make their home in Shiro Koritome and administer Koritome Toshi. The family's holdings are equivalent to that of some minor clans, quite large for a vassal family. This is because the Matsu family value the Koritome's service and skill. Since their inception, they have supplied the Lion's greatest archers. The Wasp Clan founder, Tsuruchi himself, has one parent from the Koritome family.[2]
