The rulebook for the RPG open beta calls out the Tortoise Clan (and Kasuga family) as existing, and being one of a short list of organizations with permission to deal with foreigners. Now, of course, it's an early draft, someone could change their minds regarding the list of Minor Clans, etc. but at least for the moment we can assume they exist in-setting.
