The August Personages of the Crane Clan

Kakita Tanaka – Clan Champion
Tanaka is a powerful, handsome man, radiating an aura of fearless authority. He is strong and his eyes seem to hold back a raging inferno of intensity. Polite, and very likeable, he is a generous host. He doesn’t have the gift of strategy, but he is an accomplished duelist, some say a match for the great Ide Morimoto. He is quick to anger if his honor is questioned, and is not hesitant to issue a challenge. He has a reputation as a ladies man.

Daidoji Hoto

Daidoji Hoto, the Daidoji family Daimyo, is a very handsome man, and as such has little trouble attracting the attentions of beautiful women. He stands slightly taller then the average rokugani citizen, with long white hair down to his mid-back. Piercing green eyes, rare for a rokugani citizen, grace his handsome face. Daidoji Hoto is almost as personable as Tanaka. Although Hoto does seem to be a little more Crab-oriented when it comes to speaking in court. Before the Plague, Hoto worked as a Crane Magistrate, patrolling the provinces and attending to his duties.

Doji Akahito
Akahito is an unattractive man, even by other clan’s standards. He also is known to loathe the court, never having mastered the art of the conversation and appearance. He has spent most of his time planning strategies, for use if the Crane should ever be attacked. He has studied the techniques of many other clans. Akahito keeps to himself, even among the other members of his clan.

Doji O-Ushi

Her father is Doji Akahito, a Crane clan General. She is still studying to become a clan shugenja, though she has a reputation for being timid. She does not have a desire to help her father in battle; in fact, she is frightened of large battles. She wishes to help her clan in different ways. She hopes to become a magistrate and help in investigations. Eventually she knows she will come to grips with her fear.

Asahina Reiyoko
A very beautiful woman, Reiyoko is very committed to doing the best she can for her clan. The boring life of court doesn’t suit her very well, and she much prefers delving into the mysterious places of Rokugan. She was allowed to train in the Scorpion Shugenja school in an exchange program that let Shoshuro Natsumi attend the Kakita school.
