Daidoji Unaju is the first son in a long line of Daidoji Iron Crane Yojimbos. His father was married to a Centipede (now Mantis clan) Moshi Shugenja as an attempt to bring the minor clan closer to the Crane. Their son was intended to be part of that bridge, and so extra attention was spent teaching him the courtly ways when he was young, in addition to the normal Daidoji training program. After he manifested the ability to commune with the spirits - quite rare for a Daidoji, but not perhaps surprising given his maternal lineage - his martial training was stopped and he was sent to Shinden Asahina to develop his abilities.

While at the Temple of the Morning Sun, he found himself in an internal conflict with his peers and instructors. While never protesting - anything - openly, he had trouble dealing with what he felt was the overly pacifistic nature of the Asahina training. Eventually he reconciled his Daidoji and Asahina teachings by focusing his studies on protective magic, and entreaties to the kami to weaken and slow his opponents. While he does engage in open warfare, he has yet to take a human life, and does what he can to show honor to the Asahina path in battle.
