Tsuno Kagyaku was a Tsuno Soultwister. When young he made up for his inexperience with a vehemence normally seen only in seasoned warriors. He accompanied the forces of Tsuno Kurushimi on their raid of the Kitsu Tombs in the Lion lands. Kagyaku assisted in the capture of Matsu Domotai, brother of the Lion Clan Champion Matsu Nimuro, and accompanied Kurushimi to Nikushimi Shinden for the torture of the Lion warrior.
