Kagakatsu’s Unit is a cohort of the Lion Clan, led by Commander Kodo Akodo Kagekatsu. The unit seeks to secure strategic terrain against the Unicorn Clan, having successfully captured a key Central Hill and its fortification through a flanking maneuver. Members of the unit include Kitsu Somalia, a Shugenja commander; Akodo Toronoko, an archer commander; and Matsu Morozane, a bushi leader. The unit is noted for its tactical discipline and focus on attrition, aiming to wear down enemy forces while controlling important terrain.
During their engagement with the Unicorn Clan, Kagakatsu’s Unit executed coordinated actions to strengthen their position. They initially seized Central Central Hill after effectively flanking the enemy, capitalizing on the disorganization within the Unicorn Clan's ranks. Toronoko’s Archers pinned down enemy forces, causing panic while sustaining minimal casualties. Kitsu Somalia employed fire spells to inflict damage on the Unicorn Clan cohort, resulting in significant chaos among their ranks. Matsu Morozane led his troops with decisive commands, further boosting morale and increasing panic among the opposition.
Kitsu Somalia's unit faced challenges during the battle, including a duel challenge from a Unicorn Clan officer. Kitsu Yui, her bodyguard, accepted and achieved a decisive victory, further undermining Unicorn Clan leadership. Despite various attempts by the Unicorn Clan to counter with spells and challenges, the Lion Clan maintained their strategic advantage, successfully holding Central Central Hill as darkness fell. The battle concluded with an avalanche that disrupted both factions, but the Lion Clan emerged victorious, inflicting considerable losses on the Unicorn Clan while retaining control of Central Central Hill.
