SHIGEKO'S DOSSIER: This ronin's nickname comes from a disfigurement he received from a tetsubo. He is a sullen, morose and uncooperative man, much given to fits of complaining and bitter speculation on unpleasant futures.
His self pity is as irritating as his excuses - and he has many, because he has much to be excused for. I have cuffed him for selling sake without a license (he later admitted it was stolen) and given him a public beating for being involved in a brawl in the Licensed Quarter.
