In the beginning the Ishida were known as little more than farmers, and peasants who existed outside of any Shinobi village in hopes of avoiding their conflicts. While a few of members of the family did utilize Ninjutsu they had been primarily restricted towards to clearing debris, and other pollutions that could wind up in their fields before harvest seasons. As farmers these fields had been the life blood of every man, woman, and child who lived alongside them. Of course there is a catch to living this peaceful life theirs, and the price had been free distribution of the rice they grew out to a band of cut throats calling themselves former ninja who had fought in the Great Shinobi War. They demanded the supplies, and in return offered the family protection from bandits who were roaming around the area. Most of the old humbly accepted the offer while the young disagreed. They were generally out ruled by their fearful elders who didn't want cause anyone trouble, or harm.

After a years of this protection the family always found itself at the worst end of starving, or barely hanging on when their harvest season came around. Because of this the young of the clan proposed that they fight, and the old hid away inside of their shells in fear of backlash. In light of this a man by the name of Mitsunari Sokaime would arrive a few days ahead of the time of harvest day when the bandits arrived. With him he brought several of his brothers, and cousins whom were all trained in the art of Swordsmanship. Yet none of them would ever be seen carrying a sword. Their brief explanation of this stated that they hailed from an isolated land where the men were all raised to be Kabuki Dancers, or Actors from a young age. Because of this they needed a way to protect all this assets in times of need, and so tbey developed a sword style that revolved around a Kodachi blade acting as a hilt of an umbrella, or parasol.

Many of the older family members wished only to hire the outsider, and his siblings in order to fight for them despite their already strangled predicament that developed around the same attitude. The young disagreed, and asked that they instead be taught the ways of battle in order to prepare them to fight for their right to live. In the end Mitsunari, and the two of his brothers Hanzo, and Kenshin agreed to help out the youngsters in their plans. While his two remaining brothers Haurto, and Yukino took the elderly off to the nearest village for safety reasons. Within the coming 2 weeks the younger generation of the Issues would find themselves being locked in extensive bouts of hand eye coordination drills as well as the practice of ambushing their targets by hiding amongst the fields. Yet those two weeks couldn't have passed by quick enough as the bandits arrived to find nothing. No food, and no villagers in sight.

At first it remained this way, but as luck would have it one of trigger happy youngsters charged at them haphazardly only to be killed in the process. Moments later the entirety of the youngsters would reveal themselves only to find that the elderly of the village had also returned as well, and after a bloody conflict the Ishida were beaten to a bloody pulp alongside their newly acquired skills. The food they worked so hard to protect was then stolen along with most of the valuables they had to offer. Younger members of the clan survived along with Mitsunari, and his brothers who took everyone who could walk back hkme with them. After giving a thorough explanation of the situation, and giving it some well deserved thought the families merged by way of having Mitsunari alongside his brothers marry into the Ishida as a whole.

Through this bond the Ishida slowly drifting away from just being farmers, and instead joined the ranks of armed Kabuki Actors who performed all over the land for any who had a knack for dangerous beauties in their area.
