Tatsushiro Clan

The Tatsushiro clan (龍代一族, Tatsushiro Ichizoku) also known as the, Ryū Clan (龍一族, Ryū Ichizoku) or Dragon Guardians (竜の護, Ryū no Mamoru), is a clan living on Mount Koryū.

Background
Once a powerful clan of Dragon Guardians entrusted with keeping the powerful Dragon Blade, the Tatsushiro clan was blessed by the power of the five Genryū, who together fertilized the land belonging to the clan around Mount Koryū.

However, due to their clan's history as Dragon Guardians, all members of the clan were bound to the Genryū, signified by small horns on their heads, pointed ears, and, in some cases, facial markings. Because of their appearances, others recognized them immediately as those who had the power of the Genryū on their side, and persecuted them out of fear of the Genryū, exiling the clan and nearly driving them to extinction some time before the First Shinobi World War. The only "known" remnants of the clan were Akari and her older brother, Kuroma.

Overview
Years after the events concerning Kuroma, currently the Tatsushiro live in secrecy within the confines of Mount Koryū slowly and steadily rebuilding their Clan. Although they hide from the outside world, they are well-known by Dragons which also visit them on Mount Koryū.
