ei-yu

Updated: May 11, 2025

Not long since I heard the following couplet as to the nature of a true hero: "Makoto no Ei-yu; Sono yo, aizen to shite shumpu no gotoshi; Sono shin, kizen to shite kinseki no gotoshi. "The true Hero; In appearance, charming like the spring breeze. In heart, firm as a rock."
