Dosan

Dosan is a master tattooist and an ally of the Marked Ninja. He mastered the use of the ink distilled from the Sumi plant.

History
Dosan is most likely the oldest member of the Hisomu Clan. 50 years ago, he was sent to Tabriz to deal with the bandit situation. After this, he dedicated himself into protecting and studying the Sumi for the rest of his life. He is the one that gives the tattoos to the Marked Ninja and probably only real friend.

Story
In the campaign, Dosan is captured by the bandits at Tabriz. He is later rescued by the Marked Ninja. After the Marked Ninja receives his final tattoos, he escapes with him and Ora after the stalkers finds them. During their escape, he is shot in the abdomen and succumbs to his wound. The Marked Ninja buries him in Tabriz before he leaves.

Trivia

 * Dosan's name may be a reference to either the Japanese word Dōsan (動産) which means personal property due to his protectiveness over the Sumi plants, or the Japanese word Tōsan (父さん) which means father as Dosan is a mentor figure to the Marked Ninja due to giving him the marks and quite possibly recounting the story of how he infiltrated Tabriz to secure the Sumi plants.
