Ishi-Ishi (ee-shee-EE-shee;[1] Japanese: イシイシ; literally: "stone-stone") was an akki vigilante who lived in the Sokenzan Mountains of Kamigawa.
History[ | ]
Ishi-Ishi was a renowned crack shot and constantly used his sling to hurl flaming pebbles at the kami invaders of his mountain home. He was fond of goats: whether as steeds or dinner (or both), it's not entirely clear. He once flew over the Sokenzan Mountains on his goat mount and found the persimmon tree of plenty.[2] He was eventually killed by the Mountain Kami, and his body incinerated. The akki carried off his shell, but they left an inscription at the cave of his demise: "Here fell Ishi-Ishi, King of the Flaming Pebbles, Scourge of the Mountain Kami, Lover of Goats. May his shell never burn."
