Hashimoto Liamo was born into a lowborn family loyal to the Liadon family. He was raised with a strict code of honor and a deep sense of duty to the family. From a young age, Hashimoto showed a natural talent for sword fighting and quickly rose through to become one of the Family guards. However when Hitsu Liadon abandoned his family to establish himself as a Warlord of the Empire with his own Samurai Clan, Hashimoto was among the first to join his ranks. He quickly became one of the most respected warriors in the clan. Not long after the clan and the Protectorate of Clan Liadon was established, the Empire was called for aid from the Silver Dominion across the sea. Hitsu Liadon was one of the Warlords who decided to leave to fight overseas,
Hashimoto was chosen to be the temporary leader of the clan. Although he was initially humble about the responsibility, he soon became more ambitious and began to use his power to expand the clan's territories. He saw an opportunity to prove his worth and cement his place in the clan's hierarchy. He is a fiercely competitive individual who always seeks to prove his worth through his actions. He believes that the best way to lead is to lead from the front, and he has personally led several successful raids against rivals. His success has won him many followers within the clan, and he has used his position to recruit new samurai and strengthen the clan's military might.
However, Hashimoto's ambition has also caused some tension within the clan. Some of the older, more traditional samurai are wary of his tactics and fear that he is endangering the clan's long-term survival. They see his aggressive expansion as a provocation to other clans, and worry that it could lead to a war that the clan cannot win. Hashimoto's relationship with Hitsu's wife, Ichihara, is also a source of tension. He claims that he has placed her under house arrest for her own protection, but many within the clan suspect that he has other motives. Some have accused him of trying to take control of the clan by holding Ichihara hostage.
Despite these concerns, Hashimoto remains confident in his abilities and determined to prove himself to the clan. He is convinced that the Liadon Clan can become the most powerful and respected clan in the region, and he will stop at nothing to make that a reality.

Kage is a sleek and agile predator, with patterns of various green shades, midnight blue color that blends in with the shadows. Hashimoto values Kage for his speed and stealth, as well as his ability to make quick turns and sudden movements. Kage is fiercely loyal to his master and obeys his every command without question. Many of the other Samurai question his choice of mount, the Dread Raptor is a natural enemy of the Samurai who venture into the Blood Jungles, the fact that he returned with an egg is shrouded in stories within the Clan.
As for Hashimoto's weapon of choice, he wields a katana that has been passed down in his family for generations. The blade is made of a rare type of steel that gives it incredible sharpness and durability. The hilt is wrapped in a black leather grip, adorned with a silver tsuba that is engraved with the symbol of Clan Liadon. Hashimoto has honed his swordsmanship skills to a high level of proficiency, and he is able to strike with deadly accuracy and speed. He often combines his swordplay with his mounted combat skills while riding Kage, making him a formidable opponent in battle.
