Unlike most clans they have met during the last few lifetimes, the Yaseimei clan does not have a single origin point. The various members can trace their heritage to all over the ninja world, having members from every major hidden village village but Kumogakure. This has lead to a large diversity among their members, though they are almost all of light skin. The western one fared better, but had the horrible luck of being caught in an avalanche, which wiped out the majority of their members, though the shattered remnants managed to hook up with their more northerly brethren.
