===Mirumoto Family=== While Togashi is the Clan leader in theory, it's the Mirumoto who are the effective heads of the Dragon Clan, representing and leading them in their rare dealings with Rokugan beyond their mountains. They are also the Clan's security, organizing all of their defences so that they can conduct their studies and contemplations in peace. Their founder, Mirumoto, was a brilliant swordsman and blunt bully who pretty much talked shit to anyone who dared question his 'dishonorable' style, and he passed on his teachings to his adopted son, Mirumoto Hojatsu. While Mirumoto would give his life as the Dragon Thunder, it was Hojatsu who properly codified their dual-wielding technique into their own martial treatise: ''Niten''. Mirumoto are most famous for their ''niten'' style, widely regarded as second only to Kakita's ''iaijutsu''. But unlike most of Rokugan's highly formalized fighting techniques, ''niten'' is no-nonsense and practical, focusing on the most efficient ways to exploit two weapons for constant offence or impenetrable defence. It's got actual ''kenjutsu'' applications if a fight goes beyond 1v1 or the first blow, but its pragmatic use of two blades is viewed with disdain as a 'coward's technique' by ''iaijutsu'' purists who insist a single sword and strike are all you truly need. Their biggest rivals are the Kakita, but this relationship ranges from thinly-veiled contempt to sincere respect from samurai to samurai. Besides their notoriety as duelists, the Mirumoto are also responsible for the security of the Dragon Clan's holdings. As such, their duties and culture make them more worldly and organized, as well as among the best practitioners of guerrilla warfare in the Empire. Of course, the Mirumoto are 'worldly' in the same way the Kitsuki are 'worldly': They regularly deal with the world in areas and terms other Clans can somewhat understand, but they still bring an utterly unorthodox set of skills and attitudes to the mix. But at least with the Mirumoto, the duty of being the Clan's face and speakers means they have to at least maintain some relatability to their cousins in order to continue protecting Dragon interests, so they spend less time on contemplating philosophy and more time on applying it.
