Mnemonic

The most famous samurai in Japanese history was the illustrious sheep (し) samurai. He wasn't JUST a sheep who learned the ways of the sword, he would use the wool from the sheep enemies he killed to create his armor!

Hints

Picture the sheep samurai. Maybe draw him on a piece of paper. He's a sheep wearing wool armor, and he has ram horns on the hilt of his katana.
