So I saw this was missing from the UC and figured I'd throw out a quick and easy one:
Bushi:
Fighters raised in the provinces of the eastern Empires that have been trained in the weapons of their homelands.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Bushi are not trained in the traditional weapons of other warriors, they choose from the weapons of the empires and learn to use them. A bushi has a list of weapons that he can use proficiently: Jutte, Tonfa, Naginata, Nodachi, Quarterstaff, Bo Staff, Longbow, Shortbow, Lance, Shuriken, Spear, Longspear, Fighting Fan, Tekko-Kagi, and Dagger(Tanto). Bushi may also choose two weapons from the following list to be proficient in: Wakizashi, Katana, Katana Double Walking Stick, Tetsubo, Kama, Kusurigama or Improved Unarmed Strike. A bushi loses the Shield Proficiency Feat. Bushi retain the fighter's Armor Proficiency[Light], Armor Proficiency [Medium], and Armor Proficiency [Heavy]
This is made to reflect a more Japanese centric warrior with a Japanese weapon list. Thoughts?
edit: changed the exotic feats a bit
How about this:
The bushi fighter gains proficiency with a single exotic weapon of his choice. He may choose an additional exotic weapon to become proficient in at 3rd level, and every 2 levels following that. This replaces Shield Proficiency.

Mechanically I'd agree that's probably better, I just have trouble with a bushi not being able to be proficient with the daisho. Maybe I should add them to the standard list.
