Matsu Nimuro was the Lion Clan Champion. He was the son of Matsu Ketsui, and had a younger brother Matsu Domotai and younger sister Matsu Satomi.
[edit] Otosan Uchi
Nimuro slew Goju Kyoden at the Fall of Otosan Uchi in 1159, making him one of the heroes of the day.(4W p.48)
[edit] Domotai
In 1160 a letter from the Dark Oracle of Water Matsu Turi announced the recovery of Akodo's remains. Turi demanded a Matsu vassal of true lineage in exchange for the remains, and Nimuro's brother Matsu Domotai volunteered. Nimuro could dissuade him, and after the remains were safely in Lion hands Domotai committed seppuku rather than serve Turi.([1])
[edit] Egg of P'an Ku
With the help of Kitsu Juri, Nimuro used the Egg of P'an Ku to clone himself, creating the being known as Tamago. The death of Tamago during the War of the Rich Frog caused the Lion Clan to believe Nimuro dead. As a result, the Championship was passed to Ikoma Otemi, until Nimuro's eldest son came of age. Long held captive by Kitsu Juri in the Kitsu Tombs, who believed he was the duplicate, the shame of his dabbling with the Egg caused Matsu Nimuro to leave the Lion, becoming a ronin and assuming the name of his now-dead counterpart, Tamago.
