Santōjin

Santōjin (三闘神, Three Fighting Gods) is the designation for a group of three extremely powerful, each one among the strongest history has ever produced. They were given the title by himself and their names are, similar to the, very famous throughout the samurai world. Unlike the latter, they are always seen travelling and fighting together, without their being any visible leader amongst the trio. The mystery surrounding the group let to the arise of many myths and legends, furthermore augmenting their heroism.

The Santōjin hold no real affiliation to any Samurai clan, going and fighting as they please. None of them are really interested in political conflicts, and are rather left out of a war than caught up within one. Each of the three practices and has mastered their own unique style, which they can all fit together in order to form a well-oiled, nigh-unbeatable battle machine.
