History
Clan Minami was founded by warlord Sen Sakurai, who by this point had become the leader of clans Hoshi, Yoku, and Jobun, in addition to his native Sakurai. Minami was established to encapsulate the collective culture of the various southern clans, each very similar. It is notable that Clan Minami was one of the most peaceful clans during the War of the Five Clans, taking a primarily defensive role as their vast lands were pillaged and attacked by the other, more aggressive clans.

Legacy
Minami has a legacy of representing the commoners and farmers, mostly due to consisting of similar groups.

Relations
Clan Minami is most closely related to Clan Konishi, due to their close proximety and previous alliance during the War of the Five Clans. Those who choose to leave Clan Konishi for the modern world often find their home among the Minami, often in their capital of Daisan Village.
