Strategic Assassin: "Will only attach to a Samurai, Bushi, or Ninja. Will attach to a Scorpian Clan or Ninja Personality regardless of Personal Honor. You may attach Strategic Assassin from your hand as a Battle action."
Hida Katai: "Once per turn, you may attach a Follower to Katai from your discard pile as if it were in your hand."
A: Well, when applying Katai's trait, the answer to "Is that card coming from your hand?" is "Yes." That means you could attach Strategic Assassins from the Discard Pile to Hida Katai once per turn. Martin Lund, "Rules for 30 April 2004", 3 May 2004
