The basis for the Wolf Samurai. I have loved anime since I saw my first at the age of 13. Princess Mononoke is one of my favorite animes, and the main character in that movie was Ashitaka, an honorable, trustworthy, and caring man who saves the land from demons and gods. At the time the Princess Mononoke came out, I was starting what ended up being my most favorite and longest running Dungeons & Dragons campaign, The Groven Myth. I decided to create a character based on Ashitaka but not exactly like him. The character that I ended up making and playing turned out to have the same name and beliefs, but looked quite a bit different. He was also a samurai and was from a race called hengeyokai. This race could shape-change into an animal pretty much at will. The animal that Ashitaka could shape-change into was none other than the wolf. I loved and cherished that character so much I started using the name WlfSamurai for many things on the web. And that is how the name came about.
