Shinjo family

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

Shinjo family
Clan:	Unicorn Clan
Founded:	Pre-calendar
Daimyo:	Shinjo Genki

The Shinjo family was formed by the Kami Shinjo. Despite their deific lineage, the Shinjo do not currently control the clan. Over the centuries, the descendants of Shinjo allowed the Kolat to infiltrate the clan to a point unparalleled in Rokugan. The secret society controlled the clan through its Champion, who sat as one of the Kolat's Ten Masters. When Shinjo was freed from her prison and returned to Rokugan in 1132, she saw the influence of the Kolat among her descendants and personally slew every Kolat agent she discovered, greatly reducing the numbers of the Shinjo, as well as shattering the Unicorn Clan's confidence in their leading family. During the chaos, Shinjo Yokatsu, a hero of the Clan War, was hunted down and murdered by his son Shinjo Shono, who rules the Shinjo family to this day. Shinjo placed the Moto in charge of the clan, and they have controlled clan matters ever since.

The Shinjo family became associated with the Kolat and lost all semblance of their former glory, in the same way that Crab Clan, Lion Clan, and Yogo family are still associated with the Shadowlands and hated for it.
