Shiho Shirak

Shirak was just a child when Hiroto left on his journey across the empire. Even then, the young lord made a considerable impression on the juvenile Shirak. Of all Shiho, Shirak never lost faith that Hiroto would return and lead the family back to glory. Shirak has sworn to see the Shiho rule again and will die trying.
Like many Shiho samurai, Shirak costs remarkably low Rice for his abilities.  This is, of course, due to his 2 Melee Pool.  If you can use the many ways in faction to overcome this low statistic, you have a profile that can vastly outperform its Rice Cost expectations. Sixth Sense is also a welcome addition.
