Doji Tanaka - Crane Clan Champion.  Frequently seen in the company of a young girl known by the name of Nanako.  Rumor suggets that his wife and children are often outside of his court due to his unreasonable attachment to a geisha.

Doji Shioden - Former Emerald Champion.  Current custodian of Hantei Yasunori.  Presided over the duel between Heichi Batsuda and Matsu Dainoku (after the death of the other witness--conveniently, one of Shioden's wife's attendants--to Matsu Dainoku's murder of Mirumoto Chorude).  Marched the Emerald Legion on to Boar Lands in order to collect taxes that were supposedly withheld.

Daidoji Yayoi - Current Emerald Champion.  Won the Emerald Championship in the absence of Doji Shioden.  Shioden had, reportedly, refused to even show up at the tournament--citing his duties as Emerald Champion, some business about the Boar Clan taxes--and Yayoi was declared Champion in his absence.  Shioden immediately challenged Yayoi on his return.  Foolishly, as it turned out, as Yayoi defeated Shioden quite handily--though, of course, Shioden always claimed that the rigors of the road impacted his performance on that day.

Asahina Yajinden - Crane craftsman.  Traveled with Hantei Jama on his Musha Shyugo.  Involved with the creation of the swords intended as gifts to the Clan Champions.
