Miya Iko was a Miya Herald who in 1167 was sent by Miya Shoin to interview the nezumi Chief of Chiefs of the One Tribe, Kan'ok'ticheck. Iko told him she was a Shisa, a collector of stories to be told and remembered. Kan'ok'ticheck appointed personal bodyguards to the Rokugani Rememberer, and Iko was gifted with a fetish that offered potent protection from dark magic. Iko told the Imperial stories to the nezumi chieftain, who listened to them carefully. A comparable reception was made by the One Tribe to newer visitors that bore the Miya mon.
