A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Can I choose Hida Ishi to bow for Yogo Asami's ability, and then have the bowing negated by Ishi's trait?

Hida Ishi: Crab Clan • Berserker Ishi has +2F/+2C while opposing an army with more units than his army. Negate Ishi's bowing from other players' cards' effects.

Yogo Asami: Scorpion Clan • Distracter Battle/Open: Any number of times per turn, bow Asami and target a player: He must target and bow one of his unbowed Personalities.

Yes, indeed!
