Shirouzaemon

The fishers of Waterfall City claim Shirouzaemon is a secret master, whose unpredictable style once baffled the great Hiro in a duel. The truth is far less grand. Shirouzaemon was just an artist, sketching the plaza statue, when the battle-hungry Hiro mistook their intense focus for a challenge. What followed wasn't a fight; it was a symphony of panicked stumbles and flailing that somehow kept them from harm. They never landed a blow. Surviving the encounter earned them a reputation they never wanted. Other warriors sought them out, expecting a legend. Instead, Shirouzaemon packed their things and left. These days they wander, not for glory, but for a quiet place where no one expects them to be anything more than they are.
