They are a small but well known clan that currently resides in the Land of Iron. As most are samurai, they pledge their loyalty to the Land of Iron. However, there are always a few that decide to see the world that lies outside of the Land of Iron's borders, so they often venture out, and return with stories to tell and lessons to share. They comprise the bulk of the Iron's elite bodyguards, due to their skill with Gugen. Almost all are known to possess unique white chakra, which aids them in battle, as well as having excellent chakra control, which allows them to manipulate their strange possession.
