Crane Governer of the Hidari District. Sadako claims that he is not what he seems.
Yoto's Who's Who
Asahina Hidari is everything a person would imagine a Crane governor to be. He has sacrificed much on a personal level for the good of his clan and his district, but presents himself with all the poise and dignity of a courtier of the highest station.
Sadako's Otosan Uchi
How Governor Hidari acquired his position is a topic of hushed debate. Hushed, because to be caught speaking ill of Hidari within his district is often an invitation to ill fortune. Especially if one is not a Crane.
An astute observer will notice that in matters of law within his district, Crane are more often than not given benefit of the doubt, while members of other clans are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Prices fluctuate based on the mon one wears. I am assured by my sources that behind closed doors, Hidari is not at all the man he appears. I fear to speculate what that means.
