The Hasegawa clan has been in the patronage of Daimyo [[Unknown Name]] for several generations and as such commands some measure of respect and which offers members a respectable position with a good chance of a favourable marriage arrangement. By maintaining close relations with the Daimyo and ample prove of both their loyalty and quality of service, the Hasegawa clan has been able to accumulate a fair amount of wealth and a small estate on quiet, small slot of land, located in a rural area with trees and undergrowth in abundance. Over time it has become a most ideal place for the Ninja's of the Hasegawa clan to practice their arts and live out their lives. Notably, most members of the Hasegawa clan are adopted into it almost right after birth and most members learn some amount of Ninjutsu (忍術), the art of stealth, the way of invisibility. A notable member is [[Hasegawa Kumiko]].
