SHIGEKO'S DOSSIER: Yoshifusa is the leader of Ryoko Owari's Unicorn clansmen in name only. He is an old man; the only time he is seen outside the Shinjo estate is when he attends services at the Temple of the Sun Goddess (L13). Despite this, he has not retired from his position as family head, nor as a merchant patron.
The story is that he went on a merchant caravan as a young man and earned great glory protecting the Unicorn trade interests from foreign attackers. Having made his fortune in this way he retired to Ryoko Owari, where he has spent the remainder of his long life.
At one time an influential merchant patron, his influence has waned as he has aged. Bayushi Korechika (P5) has succeeded in taking control of one of Yoshifusa's most prosperous stables (P43), along with several less important merchant concerns. At his advanced age, there is little the Unicorn can do about it.
