Hida Ton was a Crab Clan bushi. Ton grew up in a peaceful village on the edge of the Shinomen Forest. Ton was a direct descendant of Hida Tsuru, and Tsuru maintained an interest in Ton from Yomi. As such, Ton joined Tsuru's Legion and began to distinguish himself as a cavalryman on the Kaiu Wall. Ton was eager for a chance to prove himself worthy of Tsuru's legacy.
