Home to martial artists who specialize in controlling aether with breathing techniques. Practitioners of the Style of the Fang, and many other branches of martial arts. Most famous for frequently being challenged by rival schools & single warriors looking to test their skills.
When Haruto Ashitaka was in his youth, he ventured across Othard and Hingashi accompanied by a fellow samurai named Musosai. In time, Musosai earned the infamous title of Kogarashi. The crime attributed to him was the creation of a killer; his disciple committed multiple assassinations of prominent Hingashi officials. Under local law, Kogarashi was deemed equally culpable for these grievous acts.
After Musosai met his end at the hands of his own pupil, Haruto, now residing in Eorzea, learned that his old friend had faced his ultimate fate. Motivated by the news, Haruto decided to return to Kugane, where his family's dojo also functioned as an orphanage and a training ground for both body and mind. It was then that Ryu Ashitaka persuaded Haruto that The Style of the Fang should be shared beyond just Clan Ashitaka. Consequently, the Ashitaka Dojo was established!

Student Handbook!
Dojo Etiquette- Stepping into a Ashitaka Dojo for the first time is understandably disorienting for many adventurers. The students are dressed in odd costumes, bowing and grunting toward one another, and the teachers give commands using unfamiliar Eastern terms.
————————————————
- Ashitaka Dojo is certainly no ordinary gymnasium. Visitors should treat the Dojo as they would a classroom, waiting politely and patiently for a student or instructor to find an appropriate opportunity to break away and assist them.
————————————————
- Students should treat the Dojo with much respect, training in the martial arts is demanding, but equally rewarding (Rp) members should strive to become mentally and spiritually strong, with a clear mind and an indomitable will.
————————————————
- Give your best effort in class, practice each day, and set personal goals to help you to see the progress you are making while in (Rp) sessions. Your instructors can show you the way, but ultimately you must walk the path.
————————————————
- Understand your responsibilities as a student, and show character in all aspects of your training. Students must be in the right frame of mind to meet these demands and maintain concentration & self-control

_____________________________
- Member of the Kagon tribe until she broke the rule the goddess had given the tribe of not stepping outside during daylight. She had gone outside after hearing someone yelling in pain. A traveling merchant had wandered far from Reunion and had gotten attacked by a beast.- After healing the merchant she realized her mistake and knew she couldn't return to her family so she traveled with the merchant back to Kugane where she studied medicine and honed her white magic skills to earn her own way in society.- She has recently trained in other studies of magic and expanded her knowledge in botany and alchemy to learn various ways to treat people.
The Seven Virtues
Gi – Justice or Integrity- This is ensuring that the individual has the right way and mindset when making decisions – that they have the power to decide swiftly.- It is to guarantee that the person avoids indecisiveness and that decisions are based on the proper reasons.
————————————————Yu – Courage- Yu is focused on ensuring that an individual does and has the courage to do the right thing, not what others expect them to do.- If a person is raised particularly, they have their own beliefs that they follow and have the courage to do.————————————————Jin – Mercy or Benevolence- As great warriors, samurai have the right power to kill; yet due to the Bushido, Jin is to ensure that their mind and thinking is balanced – having mercy and sympathy at the proper situation.————————————————Rei – Respect- Based on the belief of a samurai, it is important that they respect and be polite towards everything.- Their way of life meant they should be respectful of elders, respect life, and respect the belief of others.————————————————Makoto – Honesty- Honesty was always vital since the warriors believe that honesty in everything they do will acquire respect. It would also mean that they are trustworthy.————————————————Meiyo – Honor- Living and dying with great honor was vital to every samurai warrior. Everything they did was with great honor; meaning, everything that they did based on their belief was with honor.————————————————Chugi – Loyalty- Another vital aspect of the Bushido was loyalty. The samurai treated each other just like family and would safeguard and help their fellow warriors.- This was important because it meant they could trust each other, knowing that they would be loyal despite the circumstances.****
STYLE OF THE FANG

Kendo
Eastern form of swordsmanship with two-handed bokuto, developed as a safe form of sword training.
Kyudo
A eastern martial art of archery.
Fist of the Fang
Full-contact martial art based on striking, grappling and ground fighting, incorporating techniques from various combat arts.
Shrine Maiden/Student
Katsuna Ishikawa
Age: 24
Gender: Female RaenPhysical Appearance:
Height: 4 Fulm 10 Ilms
Weight: 120 Ponze
Eye color: Pale white (Blind)
Hair color: Shiny onyx black
Complexion: Naturally pale
Tattoos/body Modification/scars: None showing.Combat
Peaceful/violent: Peaceful, Katsuna practices Kyudo martial arts with focus on traditional techniques. She merely uses Kyudo as a continued art form, a disciplined escape from her troubled past. Her skills are exceptional for that of a blind Raen.
Weapon of choice: Yumi and Ya when practicing
Style of combat: Was taught Reishakei, ceremonial style Kyudo by her late father, it’s what she still continues to practice to this day.Hooks• Cursed
Katsuna bares the weight of a cursed soul, misfortune always seeming to follow every step she takes. While always putting on a false front, Katsuna chooses to hide this part of her from everyone she comes close to. Wishing not to subject those she loves to the curse within, choosing to face her own demons head on instead.• Devoted Shrine Maiden by day, Graceful Geiko by night…
Katsuna finds herself living a dual life. Her time as Miko only providing a touch of solace, an opportunity to find calm and do right by the Kami for her past mistakes hoping to be worthy of their protection even if she felt like she didn’t deserve it. While as Geiko she finds herself hosting and entertaining dangerous company in the Yakuza underbelly of Kugane and Shirogane. While profitable, she willingly subjects herself to that dark world in hopes of reuniting with her lost friend and Geiko sister, Sakura. She strictly keeps these two lives completely separate from one another.• Sightless
Born blind Katsuna “sees” using typical blind methods as well as with the help of a seeing eye hawk. Her other senses are greatly heightened, and because of this can easily navigate familiar areas, can sometimes sense deception in a person’s voice. She is also able to subtly detect pain/injury from a person's heartbeat and breath. She is still very flawed but adapts very well for her condition.
