Bushido - Prefecture of Ryu - Hiryu

Hiryu is an Ashigaru hailing from the city of Eddo, distinguished from his fellow Ashigaru in Ryu by the heavier armour he wears. He also skilfully wields the Naginata favoured in the North, rather than the Yari; which is standard issue in Ryu. A life long soldier, Hiryu is a firm believer in rank and file fighting. He understands the ebb and flow of the line and is at his best in battle when fighting shoulder to shoulder with his fellow Ashigaru.
