The Ashigaru are named for the armor they wear, a light and inexpensive armor construct of laced metal plates, shin guards, and a light padded helmet. Typically these suits of armor are passed down from father to son, for though the armor is inexpensive to create, it nevertheless represents a significant amount of honor and esteem for a family. Assembled into formations the Ashigaru are typically divided into units under their clan’s banners. Each unit usually consists of warriors from the same village, the Ashigaru are typically in the heat of battle, for they form the bulk of the Bushido armies.
