Togashi and Hoshi Masujiro, are they the same in Legacy?

L5R CCG Rules board, 12 August 2007 to 13 August 2007

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.

This question is in regards to the dragon personality Togashi Masujiro from SE and Hoshi Masujiro from Path of Hope in LE. Both are identical cards however the first part of the name is different. Previously I knew that if a name was different than the cards would be considered distinctly different. Since the name changed via story and they are the same person does this mean anything. Basically I'm asking are they distinctly different cards due to a simple first name change? So in Legacy is it legal to use both of these cards, i.e. 3 Togashi and 3 Hoshi? Or are they considered the same person for construction purposes, i.e in SE or Legacy you would use either one and they would be the same?

Why don't you ask the Legacy council?
